3. ESP 67 vs GER 72

Race 2
1. ITA 77 vs NZL 82
2. GER 72 vs FRA 60
3. ESP 67 vs ITA 74
4. SWE 63 vs ITA 59
5. RSA 83 vs SUI 75

The codes above are carried on the mainsails of the yacht. The first three letters are the Olympic country code, and two numbers are assigned sequentially to each ACC yacht (irrespective of nation) as it is built, so you can tell relatively how old each yacht is. 61 and before are AC 2000 era boats, 62-82 are from AC 2003, and 83 forward are newly built for AC 2007 -- so far only Shosholoza's RSA 83.
The three Italian ("ITA") teams:
- ITA 59 (nee SUI 59, Be Happy, from AC 2000) is the team +39
- ITA 74 is Luna Rossa
- ITA 77 (nee Dennis Conner's USA 77) is Mascalzone Latino.
The others are probably clear:
- CHN (China), China Team by LeDefi
- ESP (Spain), El Desafio Espanol
- FRA (France), K-Challenge
- GER (Germany), United Internet Team Germany
- NZL (New Zealand, Emirates Team NZ
- RSA (Republic of South Africa), Shosholoza
- SUI (Switzerland), Alinghi
- SWE (Sweden), Victory Challenge
- USA (United States of America), BMW ORACLE Racing
