millbank Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Canada leads Slovakia 3 - 0 in the second period with Thornton, Smythe and Gagne scoring...... Slovakia? Interesting the difference in the two countries ,in Canada bars full of folks watching the games , in U.S seemingly very few interested at all. I could just imagine the difference if there would be such a thing as football world cup, ( the helmet and pads kind not the short pants version) the wall would be full of threads and excitement....

Kevbeau Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Myself a bunch of guys from my hockey team went to a bar last night (Atlanta area) to watch the US vs Canada. Half the guys on my team are Canadian so we were pretty loud, talking smack back in forth. The bar softball team walks in midway through the 3rd and one guy changes the channel....blood was almost spilled. Ends up I knew a guy on their team and we calmed everyone down. Talking to the guy I knoew, none of them even knew there was a WC of Hockey and didn't even know the US fielded an international team. I HATE the South.

I don't think there was any US team but there are a lot of national team competitions in football now, this summer the France national team won the European junior championships and the first team has won its ticket to the European championships winning its qualifying group last week end...
