YES, YES, YESSS!! GO FINLAND! Aaah I'm so happy! Sorry US, you played AMAZINGLY, but it was payback time from last Sunday. And now it's
getting really interesting. /talking about ice hockey btw
accioharo: D8> d-don't make a face like that /HUGGLES. Your team IS awesome, ours is just a bit more awesome (pffft but really, our teams
were so equally brilliant this time, last Sunday it was simply awful to watch our team's playing...)
Yay! Finally some luck for Finland. It's not going to last, but Yay!
Haha well one can hope, and especially now that Sweden is out of the game too HA HA >: D!
Hahaha, they're also out of the game : D seriously, US is out, Canada is out, SWEDEN is out - I wonder what's going to happen.
I WILL ROOT FOR ANYONE OVER CANADA ALWAYS.
my friend asked me if I'd root for Russia over Canada. I was like yes
I can understand that : D like, we've a saying "what's most important in a game is not winning, but Sweden losing" or something like that,
hard to translate, and it seems you guys have the same with Canada haha.
I think it used to be the Soviet Union because lol Cold War, but that was before my time obvs (well I was like six). Canada is different tho
-because we don't actually dislike Canada. We just don't want them to win.
Yeah, I totally get that, it's pretty much the same with Sweden for us - WELL, at least for me, I really don't dislike Sweden, but in ice
hockey etc? So not going to pass gloating over the fact that Sweden's out of the game ALREADY. But you guys with the Soviets during
the cold war? Before my time OBVS too, but it prooobably was quite hostile, like serious hostility.
No it totally was legitimately hostile. Like to the point where we actually boycotted the 1980 summer games in Moscow due to tensions and-
opposition to the Soviet Afghan war. AND THEN they boycotted Los Angeles right back in 84.
there was also some crazy hockey controversy one year but IDK which one. o.o
