The dichotomy of the Swedes all looking like runway models while the Americans all look like truckers is endlessly amusing.

How different a game is it if the two teams speak the same language and can understand each other? Does it matter at this level?

I feel like at least 75% of the time I follow the strategy regardless the language just by pointing sticks. Like there's some times I can't see what they're doing but I imagine pros would.

The pbp folks addressed this at the beginning, the answer is not really. Your strategy depends on how the rocks lie when you throw and it won't really matter if you know what the other team might do

Bad miss but, 4-3 going into the 6th? That's a hell of a lot better than I would have predicted.

I'm stunned every time Sweden's skip misses a takeout, I just assume he's going to hit every one of those.

There is one time out, which allows the coach to come down. Unless Olympic rules are different, it actually means you can't throw any more rocks. Theoretically you could still win the game if your opponent missed some shots.

Commentators are saying that Edin's two rocks curl differently which he should have figured out by now.
