We would destroy India in hockey but they would destroy us in cricket. Who could possibly care about cricket?  Unless you were talking about Pinocchio?

I'm rooting for the Canadian hockey team, perhaps even if they play the USA in the finals.
In terms of generating joy for my fellow earthlings, I just think a Canadian win would be "happier". I can easily take joy in the triumphs of people I respect.

I think I could watch it if I understood it. I couldn't stand curling until I learned how to play it, now the strategy and drama is very appealling.
Now, I have to get back to practicing my Queen, We will Rock You cheer for tonights game.

I don't know how to play cricket, I know some games take like five days to play, and that is crazy.
EDIT: T-Minus 100 minutes!!

Neither is the USA
Belarus... Now there's an underdog. Their women's hockey team lost last year to Slovakia 82-0.

When it al comes down to it its just a game. It is our national sport and it would be nice if Canada won since we are hosting the games. I hope Im right when I say this, Id say football or baseball would be the US national sport and if the US played Canada, you would kick our a$$.
