Team Canada hockey has the most intense following of any sport...

[HEyHEY]

I'm in a real sporty mood tonight.

Canada during international play is awesome.

I had a buddy from Seattle who was in Whistler during the 2002 olympic hockey final - he said it was almost intimidating to be an american in Canada. He and his buddy left the bar when it got a bit too rowdy.

It's mainly cause it's one sport we kick-ass at internationally. Plus growing up it's all you do (Or at least all I did.)So it becomes a serious obsession.

I dare you to dispute me!

2. My husband and I were in Sault Ste Marie

a few weeks back, on the CDN side, having dinner at a Swiss Chalet. THE Hockey game was on and it was WONDERFUL to be back home where HOCKEY is appreciated and cheered on the way it should be.

I remember as a child when there were only 7 teams .. and hockey night in Canada ruled!!


oh those were the days!

I'm living in the USA now, MI, ... but I sure miss Ontario.

3. No way

Team Brazil Soccer!

Brasileiros love Futebol with the same intensity that Canada loves hockey, and there's a lot more of them too.

Soccer is the national religion in Brazil, with Catholicism a distant second.

5. Take their love of soccer

And imagine if it was a sport only a few nations played - making it feel so much like something you owned.

6. But on the other hand

Take the fact they're a third world country, and yet they dominate the premiere sporting event in the world.

[HEyHEY]

7. Don't you read the wall street journal?

Canada is third world too! ;-)

8. A "Third World"...That Would Make Them a Prime Candidate...
