yes that's not an ecological disaster or anything

Eulogy 02-18-2014 11:28 PM

isn't qatar an ecological disaster second only to dubai already? or did i make that up. i may have.

(i guess i need to acknowledge the existence of golf courses in the american desert here)

Eulogy 02-18-2014 11:28 PM

how would an air conditioned open air stadium even work?

slunken 02-18-2014 11:32 PM

just turn that shit on high

Eulogy 02-18-2014 11:48 PM

i do think it's pretty cool that two runs on that giant slalom run are so long and the gold medal winner wins by .07 seconds. damn.

Canada gets Latvia, U.S. plays Slovakia. sonofabitch...*crosses fingers*.



Russia hates it. they need to stop blaming some ref in the US and know they screwed up their team by not taking the best players they could have. dumbasses.

sppunk 02-19-2014 11:30 AM

LOL at Russia

Ol' Couch Ass 02-19-2014 01:54 PM

^ Yep. While Russia cranks out a ton of talented players, most play a very individualistic style and refuse to play defense. For every Datsyuk (who is one of the best players in the world) there are several Ovechkins and Kovalchuks who possess all the skill in the world but not the desire to do what you have to do to win at the highest levels. Good for Selanne scoring the GWG at the tender age of 63.

sppunk 02-19-2014 01:57 PM

At this point we are all Latvians.

Best news in thread

The Omega Concern 02-19-2014 03:33 PM

U.S. 5 - Czechs 2


Canada 2 - Latvia 1


...


that close for Canada.

so...its on like Donkey Kong.


Clearly the U.S. has been the dominant team this tourney, but I still figure Canada will somehow bring it all together in their play because now they have to. U.S. seems like the more confident team and I think that's a carryover from 2010. This team is better than that one, so...go USA!!!

Politics too...they had way too many KHL'ers and looked past a bunch of studly NHL Russians. I understand they didn't even bring the best KHL players on board.

Russian hockey is too mobbed up. Is Igor Larionov not associated with the hockey team? Sounds like they need a real leader to mitigate the mobster agents who wield too much influence over there.

sppunk 02-19-2014 03:48 PM

Um Russia had exactly 1 more KHL player than their opponent (9-8) ...

Russia could have, should have, been a complete roster of NHL'ers.

The Omega Concern 02-19-2014 05:36 PM

Commence the 48 hour waiver that allows Americans and Canadiens to be complete jingoistic jerks towards each other.


I don't just want a victory for Team USA, I want Sydney Crosby to cry like a little baby.

Trotskilicious 02-19-2014 07:44 PM

yeah lets bring up the war of 1812 again, i love when colonial queen lovers start talking about how they "won"

YEAH CONGRATS ON BEING BRITAIN'S BITCH, YOU FUCKIN TURD EATERS

MyOneAndOnly 02-19-2014 07:45 PM

here we have TOC's true colors

Trotskilicious 02-19-2014 07:58 PM

canada's basketball team might be sick in 4-8 years

sppunk 02-19-2014 08:04 PM

The game tomorrow will be wicked great. The women fucking hate each other.

Bread Regal 02-19-2014 08:17 PM

yeah they're a catty bunch aren't they

Trotskilicious 02-19-2014 09:57 PM

it's always best when people hate each other i like it when sports are unnecessarily violent, mean and hateful.

duovamp 02-19-2014 09:59 PM

I'm not saying I hope someone gets hurt, but I hope someone dies on the ice.

Trotskilicious 02-19-2014 10:08 PM

i'm not trying to change the subject:

arsenal and bayern munich played today. two fuckin world all star super-teams whaling on each other.

i think bayern could win a world cup. i think real and barca could win a world cup (spain + messi? come on...shoe in)...I'm wondering if PSG is that good, too.

My question about hockey is, do you think the blackhawks could win the olympics?

we are assuming duplicates here. I mean Xavi would play for spain and Barca. Whatever your hockey guys would be duplicated, all stats and abilities exactly aligned.

(which Ice size and rules?)

yes, and a couple others as well. I suppose any given year a top 4 NHL team could win a gold in an olympics and I could see a streaky fast team like the Oilers do well on the big ice in a short tourney against elite teams.

Trotskilicious 02-19-2014 11:58 PM

so she skated to pink floyd do you think rbg had an aneurysm

Trotskilicious 02-20-2014 01:01 AM

i bet he's still masturbating

The Omega Concern 02-20-2014 02:30 PM

USA 1 - Canada 0. end of 2nd period.



you go girls...

duovamp 02-20-2014 02:43 PM

Ssshhhh, don't spoil it.

The Omega Concern 02-20-2014 02:49 PM

If you told me this was an AHL game, I'd believe it. With the exception of somewhat lighter checking, they play like men.
