WJC Group A: Dec 26 GDT - Austria vs. USA (0-8)

[Fan.At]

Judging from game recaps, there are 2 positive points for Austria. The first one is obviously Mathias Lange. The second one is Andreas Nödl, a 1987 born player. He is going to be a hell of a player one day.

Did anyone else notice that in this category that it has the score listed as 0-8 with the US listed as second in the team names? I mean, it isn't "Finland vs Canada" (0-3)

They have it as Austria (the losing team) vs USA (0-8).

All of the other teams and wins are listed in the winner first order. Is it a conspiracy?

No conspiracy. The 'visiting' team has won every game except for the U.S./Austria match. You can see the U.S. will be the 'visitors' in their game Sunday against Slovakia. Their score will be listed first in the box score regardless of who wins - it's the international way. Every team plays four games in group play and gets to be 'home' twice and 'visitor' twice.
