As they (possibly) invented the game, the various groups of native Americans are allowed to enter their own team, in addition to the US team. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but that's the basic deal. They are called Haudenosaunee. And they are pretty good. They've won three of their games, and lost one ... to Japan, who are shaping up as the dark horses of the tournament, having won all four of their games.
Haudenosaunee have beaten Sweden 28-1, and Germany 16-9.
JJ - what is Englands record - who have we played and more importantly who have we battered. Secondly, and flippantly, have St Trinians entered a team.
Water lacrosse is a niche game, played by Canadians who can swim; no chance of their success, because most can't and they only see ice, and think lakes are dangerous oceans. Native tribes fall through the ice when fishing, so they excel in the pool.
Anyway, we invented lots of sports, from table tennis to soccer,and we are rubbish at all of them, so lacrosse is a natural for natives requires more explanation.
oh, do they have jolly lacrosse sticks as well as jolly hockey sticks? How nice. You could have little thingies on the sticks that make fart noises when you swish them and reduce the opposition to helpless laughter. I don't know if the Apache did this or not.
