Well, BMW Oracle is our of the Louis Vuitton running. Luna Rossa, the Italians rocked them up and down the course and manhandled Dickson in the start box. He finally stepped down for the last race (after a double foul on the previous start that basically lost the race), but it wasn't enough. Even after not getting pounded at the start, tactics and boat speed just didn't come together for the Americans. So now the Italians have a spot in the LVC finals. The Spanish, however, took home another win against the seemingly impervious Emirates team. They beat them at the start, and kept them off the whole race, bringing the tally up to 4-2, still not good shape, but not out like BMW. So the cup isn't coming back to America who looked so strong in the fleet racing. I guess that just highlights the difference in match racing an opponent, which is what this is all leading up to in the end.
