Yeeeeahhhh... Well, we would've won, only our goalie sucked so much in comparison to theirs. We got a lot more shots at the net, even with the Americans continously ramming our players against the boards. Of course, our women's team rocks and will win gold, but no one else seems to care. India and Pakistan play hockey? Are they any good? Edited by FuzzyLobster, Feb 23 2010, 12:16 AM.

Yup, the upcoming Men's Hockey World Cup is field hockey. And Canada is playing its first match against New Zealand on the first of March. But I guess y'all don't watch much field hockey. |

Well that's interesting, guess who's hosting the next Winter Olympics? Yeah. I highly doubt that we're puposely discriminating against Russian athletes for no real reason at all. And they have to bring up baseless accusations about our military with nothing to back it up? How would it even be relevant? Seriously guys, grow up. |

Well, all this makes it seem more than just normal reporting. But the papers here are not complaining about the Olympics. There was something about a "gaffe" and some "blunders" on the first few days, but it just stated what it was and nothing more (they reserve all their vitriol for events taking place here). Most of the reports have been quite positive, like these: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/events-tournaments/winter-olympics/Vancouvers-Green-oval-lives-up-to-gold-standard/articleshow/5563408.cms http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_vancouver-olympics-luge-crash-death-darkens-games-mood_1347154 And I suppose this is why the doping tests were insisted: http://newshopper.sulekha.com/russian-terenteva-rapped-for-doping-violation_news_1148355.htm |

Hmm. This is nice. But India doesn't have to host the next Olympic Games... unlike Russia and Britain. Some cool HD photos: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Mwahaha. Those pictures are awesome. Was at the movie theatre until midnight watching the games. Women's Hockey won, again (not that anyone was ever concerned; the other teams are pretty terrible), and maybe the Men's team should borrow their goalie. So did Joannie Rochette in the figure skating. |

Awesome pics. I can't choose one over the other. BTW, you put a pic twice. Not that it matters. |
