‘2-4-6-8, WE’RE TOO TIRED TO SAY WE’RE GREAT’

Granato, the team captain, organized a group photo and camcorder session, hours after the game.

The exhausted team lined up, silently.

“Hey, let’s go, let’s get a little more excited,” Granato urged them. “We won, didn’t we?”

“We won,” teammate Tricia Dunn shouted.

“I thought so,” Granato said.

Japanese fans--an entire section of them--openly cheered for the Canadians at the hockey game.

U.S. press wags called them “the Janucks.”

Yes, fans, that final score again:

USA 3, CA DA NA 1.
