Today, both Sweden and Iceland proceeded to the semi-finals of the 1991
Bermuda Bowl held in Yokohama, Japan, by beating Argentina and USA II,
respectively. As the two teams will meet in the semi-finals, the winner
of their game will meet the winner of Poland vs. Brazil. We look
forward to a nordic world champion (uh, may I suggest that it be
Iceland...).

The result is: > > Iceland 210 > Sweden 199 I just like to mention something that the Swedish bridge team members were the greatest sports I ever recall having seen (I happened to be one of the few witnesses). They all came as soon as the teams had tallied the score and congratulated each of the winners. And did so cheerfully! I think you Swedes can be proud of your men. All the luck to them for the third place. Magnus | |||||

Hearing the Icelandic national anthem abroad for the first time was a moment to remember. Magnus PS. The first 64 boards in the Iceland-Sweden match has been termed by many as the best bridge played in the tournament. It's clear that Nordic has firmly established itself as a home of bridge powerhouses. | |||||
