Dick's doing well.

 

[Missy Q]

I just saw the draw. Nasty stuff. Assassins could do well in a draw like that.

 

[Bolter]

Well the poll was nearly right

I still find it hilarious how deadset the whole of Europe is on Russia being the best at every event.

Hilarious? In what way and why? So you don't think they have a pretty good chance?

(I didn't vote for them btw)

It may be down to Patriotism or AreaoftheWorldism. Just like the Yanks chanting "U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A" at every can of Coke they see on TV.
We in turn are probably bound to be quite excited that a team made up of people from Russia/Europe, is doing well in an American League. And yes, it feels good.

Wrong. They certainly had a shot, and I was wrong in my estimation of who would win(XSV or Trauma). But...they've proven that they have a tough time winning when it counts. Everyone in Europe hails them as the best team the world has ever seen, but they have yet to win a second event on American soil.

How many US players are they allowed to have before they can no longer be claimed to be a European super team?

Obviously, the Blonskis are not enough. But what if they picked up 3 more? Then would they still be Europe's champion?

And does Alex L count as a US player now? He's been living in NY most of his career, at least most of his pro career.

For most Euros, they are the best Euro team we have seen in modern times. They beat the other best team most of us have ever seen 16 - 7 this weekend.

I saw them beating the old Avalanche (lasagne, cagnoni, poorman etc) when wearing Pyjamas!!!

Dude... its hard for any team to be consistent at the very top, and this weekend, they didn't do half bad in my opinion.

We like em, you guys don't like that, and find it funny. The World keeps turning.
