Also, the scouser comment was indeed underhanded, like saying nothing good has come from the Ukraine.

I contest that with Dasha Astafieva.

Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible.
Only 6 of our players aren't born in Germany..

What's the coincidence? That Germany happens to have a thriving economy on a continent that is plagued by recession and therefore is a large draw to immigrant families from various areas? Yeah, that is a coincidence

Canada's immigration policy should have a fast pass for gifted young athletes.

He clearly feels that this tournament is infringing upon his holiday time and is doing his best to hit the beach as soon as possible.

I didnt realize that when he was cut from the Canucks after the devastating blow of not winning the Calder trophy that Shirokov took up soccer.

Really shaky start, but Russia found their stride around the 12th minute.
Should be a good second half

This is remarkably one-sided. Its like the Czechs ceded this game before it even started.

My timing has been interesting today. I called the Greek penalty practically as it happened and then this.

Arsenal fans have to be a bit choked. Arshavin has been amazing today, why did he never show this form for Arsenal? Did Wenger sleep with his wife or something?

How common is the name 'Alan' in Russia? Seemed a bit strange.
