OH ****! Rivalry Sunday. Czech Republic vs Russia, USA vs Canada, Sweden vs Finland. Olympic Hockey, it's on.
Is it safe to say that USA vs RUSSIA in hockey would be like Mexico vs. United States in any soccer match (qualifiers, "friendly", World Cup any round, etc.)?? What's a better rivalry, USA vs. CAN, or USA vs. RUS in hockey?
Women's curling just got destroyed by Canada, 9-2. They didn't even play the last 2 ends, USA conceded..
USA and Canada is THE Rivalry because the Soviets don't really exisit anymore. There is no Cold War and politics. (well, maybe just a little bit) USA and Canada have a rivalry because we're border countries, and Hockey means a weeeee bit to them. Mexico has an Ice Hockey team. They are ranked 37th in the World.
You guys don't have a chance against Canada in hockey, unless you get lucky like the Swiss, I believe the score wil be 4-0 or 5-0!!! I doubt you guys will even score one goal!!! Good luck, y'all will need it :grin:
He just took one hell of a hit and is playing harder than ever. It looks like that the Russians are taking this game over though.
