Thought we weren’t supposed to care about hockey? 😉
At #Lib14, the conference marched on, gold medal hockey game or not. Possibly they were the only people in the country on task early this morning.
So proud to be a Canuck today. Grinning from ear to ear.
Well, hang on now…You’re combining womens’ and mens’ here, but if you look at both medal games for men you would see that the Northern European civilization of Ikea and Nokia beat the North American civilization of Bieber and Donald Trump 5 to 3.
Y’can’t just keep cherry picking until it looks like you won.
Well at least we’re good at one team sport. Unfortunately we’re an international embarrassment at football (soccer). Last I checked the men’s team is ranked around 140th. Small Caribbean countries cut us to ribbons. The World cup starts in a couple of months and it’s a shame we’re not there — we have about 4 times more kids playing soccer than hockey and most Canadians don’t realize it but the average attendance at Canadian MLS soccer games is higher than for the NHL. But I’ll still take the double hockey gold. Well done!
unless you count the women’s team. We’re 7th in the FIFA rankings.
Yes, that’s excellent. But why not the men, as well? Iceland, a country of 300,000 is ranked 48 while Switzerland is 6th. What are they doing right and we’re doing wrong?
and we took 4th in 2003. Nothing to scoff at!
Soccer?
Really?
You mean the game where nothing EVER happens? Except ballet like dives & thug violence in the stands; played by prima donnas and spoiled sports.
Is that the game you mean?
The only reason people watch soccer is they are too poor to afford paint to watch it dry.
Soccer, Sheesh!
You’re joking, right?
Nope.
Q- Why do soccer fans riot?
A- Nothing else for a drunk to do at a soccer game!
You threadjack a hockey conversation to brag about soccer, calling it “football” even though we’re in Canada, and you’re shocked someone’s not happy?
Development in hockey is average , development in soccer is brutal in canada…they dont develop
