You know, for all your words that Canadians are still not moving on, you  guys sure use alot of words to justify that it was a good decision.  I wonder who's not moving on here. :hmm:

Had the Canuckleheads here not cried so much over the game, I probably wouldn't even have noticed the game at all.  The reaction by your countrymen here is just too entertaining not to keep bringing it up.

QuoteI personally have, even though the two calls was to me rather dubious as seen on TV. That said we put the fear in the USA team this time, they came within a hair to fall down and lose, Sinclair demonstrated she was one on the best, Tancredi proved that she could play Aussie rules football, and it's only a matter of time until Canada beats them someday.

You have that, then.  Congrats.

They won at head stomping, but Columbia still is the better sucker-punch team.

Nevertheless, the Americans' Abby Wambach was in Pedersen's ear, doing what many players do when their team is losing: audibly counting down the seconds after the opposing goalkeeper gets hold of the ball to pressure the keeper to give up the ball, or the referee to make the six-second call.

Why do so many players do that if it's "never ever" called? :yeahright:

If I had any graphics abilities I would paint a picture of a beaver with a maple leaf toque with machine-guns a blazin'.

But I came close to failing art in Grade 2. :blush:

See, I couldn't even do that.

Now we need a toque and a couple guns.

The Larch

They have just shown the official farewell to the Spanish paralympic team. Behind the speaker there was a very pretty girl with her left arm amputeed from the elbow. I wonder how much of a turn off that is for her personal life.
