  1. Well I'm not particularly proud of it, because I googled and found that the answer is a guy I don't know anything about. Gerald Coleman
  2. Looks pretty small. Is it Manon Rheaume by any chance?
  3. Both Spanish sides out, pretty much a dream final for me.... Go Bayern!
  4. Um, yes. To put it in perspective, Canada could only manage a scoreless draw against El Salvador, while the Americans threw a 6-0 thrashing at the Cubans... It might have been the biggest upset in the history of Canadian soccer (although the Gold Cup win was pretty big too)
  5. Don't see a thread on this... huge 2 - nil upset win for the Canadians over the Yanks in Olympic qualifying today. Next up: Cuba on Monday. Canada has a chance to qualify for the first time since '84.
  6. Caps had real trouble penetrating DC's defense... ...they must have an Italian manager....
  7. Hey GM, can the Sooners get into a bowl game if they knock off the Cowboys?
  8. I'm a die-hard Sooners fan, but if they lose to state, I'll be pulling for the Cowboys all the way. BTW: Totally agree with the anybody but the SEC thing.
  9. Novak wins and Serena loses. Combine that with wins by the Leos and the Bills this weekend and alls right with the world.
  10. Can't believe that wasn't a foul against Hassli.....
  11. I'm with you on that front, D. As long as the 'Caps have guys like Chumiento and Rochat, (and to a lesser extent, Hassli and Camillo) I will be content to watch, win, lose or draw.
  12. It's kind of ironic that you call yourself Canucksbiggestfan and then say something like that.... 2/3 of Vancouver's pro teams "suck" right now, but one of them plays in a league with so few teams that you're not out of it until after Labour Day.
  13. Good for Eric. I still think Rochat has been the 'Caps' best player though....
  14. I used to be of the opinion that it would be ideal for the twins to play with a right-handed shot, preferably a sniper. However, since the Samuelsson signing, I have modified that idea somewhat. While Burr was out with injury in the early part of last season, Sammy was a regular fixture on the top line and I was surprised at how many feeds from Hank and Danny were wrong-handing him. It became apparent to me that the twins have been conditioned to play with another lefty and barring a miraculous trade for a Nash or Tavares, Burrows should probably stay where he is.
  15. Yeah. Hopefully he can take penalties as well......
  16. Yep. Once again, managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory....
  17. Interesting that Rochat scores on a pass from Chumiento. I was thinking before the game started that these were the two guys on the roster that have consistently impressed all season long. Hassli has had his moments, as had Camillo, but the rest of the roster has been up and down IMO. I like Salinas' game last night, as well. Hopefully the 'Caps can carry some momentum forward from this game. Next up, we need a road victory.
  18. Thanks for that Starbug. I've been waiting forever for that frikken book! Can't wait for it and the mini-series, which HBO has been previewing (read: teasing me with) for a couple of months now.
  19. I'll see your Neil Armstrong and raise you a Spinal Tap, Deb.
  20. When did Cookie Monster switch to cupcakes???????
  21. As Canadians we like to consider ourselves "peacekeepers" more than a military nation. We therefore tend to "pick our battles" more carefully than say, our American or British cousins. We said "no" to Iraq, but "yes" to Afghanistan and Rwanda because we genuinely thought that our intervention was warranted. Because of this, I feel there is a genuine sense of pride for many Canadians when it comes to our military. We are still looked at with tremendous respect in many European nations like France and Holland because of our efforts in WWII. With Americans, militarism is such a part of their history, (eg: The Star Spangled Banner) that I think they are conditioned to see anyone in uniform with respect. There was a brief period where this wasn't the case, (Vietnam) however, the 9/11 attacks as well as other "terrorist" incidents have restored the public image of the American soldier. (At least in the U.S.A )
  22. They called it "The war to end all wars". How wrong they were....
  23. Big win by Oosthuizen at St.Andrews yesterday. Another name to add to the list of top-notch South African players. I feel pretty good about my pre-tourney prediction though.
  24. Anybody know who the balding guy beside Trevino is?
