Picking Your Own Opponent May Not Be A Good Thing...

Because naturally, the team that Emirates Team New Zealand picked to face them in the semi's would have been feeling dissed and therefore would have been more likely to perform.

Which is what has happened... kinda. In short, The Italian team Luna Rossa Challenge are through to the final having beaten their opponents BMW Oracle Racing (USA) 5-1.

Emirates Team New Zealand have faced tough opposition in Desafio Espanol 2007 and though the score currently stands at 4-2 in NZ's favour, you should never count out the home team.  The racing resumes on Tuesday.
