let me take Terry & Yourself to the Caribean, they do cricket as good as anyone for atmosphere..... though they're not a good team atm, england won 7 and drew 1 of the last 8 games with them

On topic, Sweden is looking really good. Their defensive meltdown against the Czech's didnt look too good, but otherwise, Im thinking they may be able to give the Canadians a run for their money...

they sure are, but we'll have to wait till QF or semi's for some of that action

i was impressed with 3rd period Czech offense, but by then it was too late for them.

pretty good game for canada playing slovakia today too. they kept the pressure well today compared to yesterday against the USA.

i miss all the games cause i work

Too bad man, the Sweeden / Czech game today was really fun to watch. 1-0 Sweeden after one, but Sweeden put up 3 PP goals in the 2nd. Just when things looked bleak for the Czechs (who were inexplicably playing without Hejduk [sp?] ) They had a nice 3 goal explosion....not enough to win, but enough to make it close. These games are fun to watch, but they are essentially meaningless.....I cant wait unti elimination time!

be laughing when you lose to some easter euro country.

there goes the Canuck pride down some dirty ass russian toilet.

I don't think ice hockey, whats a simplistic boring game, is a sport either. I mean the kids that are usually the bomb on ice skates are the nerds with no friends with nothing else better to do.

you son, are a joke

I love that attitude, but as most Indian fans will say, they proved you wrong, and if we actually beat you for the ashes, I'm going to have to quote every anti-england cricket post on the entire forum (yes theres a fair few) and laugh..... until then we have the south africans tho and you lot have a date with India, so we'll see who has bragging rights in due time

Wake up to yourself you twat!

We've heard it all before. English beat some shit country and all of a sudden they are world beaters, this applies to every sport, only to come to Australia, get their backside spanked, and return home with their tail between their legs, then change captains and sack the coach.

I just hope for the sake of English cricket they actually win a game this time, and don't give up after the first day of ashes cricket.
