wait for the world cup: good luck against england...

First off, England hasn't beaten Sweden for over 37 years in football, so I'm not exactly worried about them. Secondly, the group we're in will be won by either England or Sweden as we have Paraguay and Trinidad and Tobago in it. Since two teams will pass from each group, it doesn't really matter if it's England or Sweden as no.1 as long as we're no. 2.
And Sweden has a great team now, so if we won't have problems with injuries on our key players, we're gonna go FAR!!!!

I think we should be happy if sweden advance from the group... paraguay and england are good. But england isn't that good, they won't go far this year either.. they just don't have a very good team (compared to argentina, brazil, italy, etc)
^^^ They cared. They just sucked. They played a sucky game. They didn't work as a team, and when they did, they tried to make it too pretty. They never got a good chance on goal. They never had people looking for rebounds. They were all just sitting there watching ovechkin(spelling??).
nobokov played excellent. Brodeur played excellent. Canada's forwards just sucked.
Now to be fair, Italy, Germany, were cake. In the swiss game, Gerber robbed Canada and stole the game. Fuck finland and there stupid gay trap bullshit.
** for those who don't know hockey the trap is the equivilent, in football, of the team who's winning in the fourth quarter, punting on every first down, doing a defence only. It's just gay. fuck finland.
The Czech rupublic, were really hurting. Hashek down, jager hurt. Thomas Kaberle being Thomas Kaberle.
They weren't going to win. It was an easy game.
Russia. They were the better team. They played better and they deserved the win. Canada just made it easy for them by not scoring. Canada didn't play well as a team.

I blame this on the fact that we picked all of the older more "experienced" hockey players when we should have been sending Staal, Spezza, Phaneuf, and Crosby
I disargree. Crosby's an idiot and i don't want him representing my country.
Dion Phaneuf would have been a good choice, but who do you take out? All the defencman played great.
Jasson Spezza is coming off an injury, and he sucks right now. He wouldn't have been ready.
Staal is very young. And even though he could have been good, he could easily have chocked. He's a coin toss.
Persnally i don't think lecavalier and richards should have been there. There's better choices out there.
