5. Bah! Lutefisk stifles the "Hockey gene"
Actually if not Canada I really do hope Finland wins it. I wouldn't even mind too much if they bet us in the final.

7. Don't fuck with Scandinavians
People think that they're all sushine and light, but every few hundred years they swoop down and raise all kinds of holy hell. The Vikings, the Swedes in the 30 years war, Karl XII's invasion of Russia and the Ukraine. Don't be caught off guard when they go berserk.

4. I'll make you a deal
BTW its Czech Republic, I'll go for them for now but if they should lose, god forbid not, I'll go for Canada. Though I am still bitter about what happened to the Slovaks.

8. Fine by me
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 11:22 PM by JohnKleeb
Funny story about the Czechs, I grew up thinking I was part, then I realized I wasn't. They're great people though, they may have got sucked in to the coalition of the bribed but they have beautiful women, great beer, and great cities. Hey at least we won't be rooting for those damn yanks :D. Yea, I root against my own country, I wanted Ireland to do good in the world cup.

11. Not likely
Though they did make the Juniors in 98, and beat Canada!
But they aren't in this, we're down to the final four
