I live in Latvia (a small country near Baltic sea and Poland).
My country only for once won Russia.
Info - ''In later years the Latvians have taken a bite out of the other teams and they have confirmed many times that they quite deserve their place among the best sixteen teams in the world. In 2000, as goalie Artur Irbe has described it, “One of the most famous and most beautiful days in Latvian history occurred.” – at the World Championship in St. Petersburg, the Latvians beat the favoured Russian team 3-2 and slammed the door shut to the quarter-finals for the home team.''

Lol, yes I just saw it.. When I created this thread, it was the only one in ''sports'' section, so I thought that all other threads are deleted, so moved the thread about hockey here. I'm going to rename thread to ''World Hockey Championship 2011 - News, Schedule, Info''

Oh dear, I watched last two periods of the CAN-FRA game.. it was quite rueful to watch. Poor France, they are in totally different league than Canada.

I'm surprised how much Russia has struggled in its first games. They seem not to be nearly as good as I thought..

GERMANYYY!!! WOW!!! I was so excited it was if I was watching Finland playing I'm loving the fact that the underdogs are outplaying the big countries! (As long as it doesn't include Finland.. )

Jaromir Jagr with a hattrick vs USA today. The third goal was a thing of beauty! LEGEND
