[cberkas]

1-0 North America

[cberkas]

Rinne is going to want that back.

[cberkas]

3-0 North America

 

[cberkas]

Finland could easily be down 8-0

[cberkas]

Rinne is doing about all he can to keep Finland in this game. Rinne should have had all these goals, at least the replys look that way.

[cberkas]

4-1 North America 

[cberkas]

North America destroyed Finland 4-1, the game was never close.

UGH.  I watched the USA/Europe game later this weekend as I DVR'd it.  I could go on a rant about this USA team, but maybe I'll just stick to what I said when I started this thread.  I hope they come out with some fire on Tuesday against Canada, because if they lose, they're done.  I imagine that game will be a penalty filled event.

Awful performance.

How were the North America and Europe teams picked? Heard them say the NA team was all 23 and under.  Europe certainly isn't.

Beyond bad.  Pretty embarrassing.

We could really use a Czech win here against EUR.

Team NA was any North American 23 or under.  Europe is any European from a country who didn't have a team in the tournament (i.e. not from Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Russia).

[The Sicatoka]

Europe is the all the Euros who aren't Swedes, Finns, Ruskies, or Czechs. 

Add in US, Canada, and NorAm and there's your eight.

Thanks

Europe 2, Czechs 1 early in the 3rd.    If I'm rooting for USA to get through, would say we need Czechs to prevail...
