That last Pole standing, looked like the back of his helm was completely bashed in.

He was Belarus, though. (Poland is in blue.)

USA vs. Poland now.

USA! USA! USA!

Pretty sure Poland is in red and Belarus blue going by their flags.

Yeah, you're right. My bad.

US-Poland coming up

It looks like a close one, too.

Max, have you seen Robert? I don't know what his armor looks like.

It looks to me like he was acting as captain. The guy standing out in front had his build and his mannerisms

Storm-trooper like helm with prominent horizontal bars

USA wins!

Oh, and Reed won all of his 1-on-1 fights today! He was the champion of the 1-on-1, I think.

[merithyn]

These are our friends that are on the team. (Except the one in blue and green. He's there as Chief Schlepper. ) The one on the far right is Reed, the one who went 3-0 in the 1-on-1 tournament.

Meri: dude on the left really looks the part (Mandingo less so).
