Let's line up the games for the teamtitle: 201: Stepson England may be grabbing a solo, if he does it's over, if he doesn't it'll all be very exciting. 203: Described before. Italy (former worldchampion Lee Simpson) needs some luck to keep the points he has. 206: Shichi France vs Stepson Germany, where the latter runs the risk of being eliminated, and the first is not at all sure of the shared boardtop, let alone sole boardtop. 210: Very close finish, where the Riders Turkey can end up on top, or can drop back a lot. It's difficult to predict what will happen there. 216: No problem for the Shichi Austria there, the sole boardtop is his, but will he lose a center or grab a few more? 218: Shichi Italy and Rider Russia in an epic struggle and England holding all the cards. I have some inside information on the map though, and the colours are not exactly right. Russia owns Norway and Berlin as well (otherwise it won't add up to 11). So that leaves both Rider and Shichi in a difficult position. 228: Italy from the Stepsons doesn't seem to be scoring too many points, but in this race every point counts. In short, 218 may be decisive, but also 210, 206, 203 and 201 show great promise for each team. I can tell you, as captain of Shichi-Fukujin, I have no nails on my fingers left. ;-) Cheers, JW
