Quicker look
USA will face winner of Swiss v Belarus
Finland gets winner of Czech v Latvia
Sweden takes on either Slovakia v Norway
Russia gets Canada unless a upset of epic proportions happens and Germans win

Haven't watched a single Swiss game but since they almost handed it to Canada I'm thinking they'll walk out as winners against the Belorussians, that didn't impress agianst Finland or Sweden.

Czech against Latvia should be a cakewalk for the Czechs.

Slovakia put up a good fight against the Czechs and Norway has hardly impressed me so far. Slovakia will be playing Sweden in the quarterfinal.

Canada will go on to play the Russians. Don't think Germany will be a push-over though.

In the quarters I think USA, Sweden and the Czechs will win. Canada vs Russia can go either way, depending on how well the Russian defense holds up.

The Czechs worst game in the tournament I think. They had the chance to end the game in the first period but looked very tired. Perhaps the Finns will have a chance after all.  Hadn't seen Latvia before. Much like the Belorussians they know how to play hockey, no doubt. They just lack that little extra.

Just finished wacthing Slovakia-Norway. Norways best game this tournament. The Slovaks looked uninspired. Good news for Sweden.

What was cool about Latvia is that 16 of their players is from the Latvian KHL's team in Riga. They knew eachother well.

I watched some of that freestyle downhill where they put 4 skiers on a track and race to the bottom.

I thought that was damn cool.

The Dutch can't tell left from right. That must suck for the athlete.

& Ashleigh Mcivor (the gold medalist) is so fit, it's not even funny.

SkiCross is awesome more then Snowcross imo & much more then Downhill.

Did you guys know I hate downhill?

0-0 after two periods Yankees vs Yoodlers

HOP SCHWYZ HOP SHWYZ HOP SCHWYZ

[Vricklund]

That's just weird.

[Admiral Yi]

Skicross is cool when they wipe out.  Otherwise not so much.

Anyone know how team nordic combined works?  All guys jump then you average, or take the best?

Yi is lazy, Yi cannot be bothered to even use Wikipedia, Yi reinforces the Ape's view of Americans as lazy bastards,

This wasn't the goal that was called back?  They got a real goal now?
