Oh, and I would agree to the DF having a better record in Upper State (although Fort Mill could give them a loss in there) I surely do not think they are going to have as enjoyable time in Italy unless the competition is poor.
I have seen a couple trips with quality players from club ball teams that do not fair very well over seas. Its a great time, and you would like to win a game or two but it really doesn't matter.
You can't MAKE the other teams BETTER so folks will always slam a weak schedule.
I think Rock Hill is getting better...
