[Riddarn]

Finland wins, 5-2.

 

[pihinalle]

4-1 Finland

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I'll go with a 2-2 tie. I think the U.S. is the superior team, but it's tough to call these early international games.

 

[GermanDevil]

3-2 USA

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

4-3 or 3-2 is the result I'm thinking is most likely..

but let's go out and make a prediction that'd have nice odds at the bookies.. lets say..

Finland 5-3 USA

*damn, why is it so hard to type with mozilla? My keyborad seems to be running at like 120kph while the mozilla screen is advancing at like 80kph..

Umm, scorers.. Jokinen with 2, and Pirnes and a defender, how about Karalahti for Finland..
for the US, hmm.. Park, hmm.. actually i can't recall US players in their roster from memory and too lazy to look..

*damn, why is it so hard to type with mozilla? My keyborad seems to be running at like 120kph while the mozilla screen is advancing at like 80kph..

I use Mozilla too, I have none of those problems.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

My guess is spyware and adware slowing down the system.

Nope, not a problem.. adware/spyware that is. None on computer.

installed smooth mouse wheel scrolling add-on + google tool bar add-on and it works much better now.

None of those problems on IE (here) or at my other Mozilla sessions (work)

should porbably update to the latest patch soon, but lazy now..

*glad Noronen is starting goalie, Markkanen was too shaky*

 

[Panopticon]

Finns win 3-1 or 4-2. Although the team is pretty weak this year...

 

[eSabre]

I'll go 5-4 USA.

 

[fan75]

4-3 Finland.

 

[incawg]

20-0 Finland, Ruutu with 18 goals & Salo with 2

 

[Kyri]

20-0 Finland, Ruutu with 18 goals & Salo with 2

Naw, I don`t think that`s realistic.






Salo will probably score 6 and Ruutu only 14.

 

[Faaxinho]

Finland has always played badly in their first games. Hopefully they won't this time.

Finland 4 (Jokinen 2, Hentunen, Pärssinen)
-
USA 1 (Drury)

And Finland outshoots USA 35-18

 

[Panopticon]

Salo will probably score 6 and Ruutu only 14.

Even that seems unlikely since Ruutu is only the 13th forward.

 

[Pekka Lampinen]

Finland to go with

Antti-Jussi Niemi - Petteri Nummelin
Ville Peltonen - Olli Jokinen - Tomi Kallio

Janne Niinimaa - Jere Karalahti
Jukka Hentunen - Niko Kapanen - Timo Pärssinen

Sami Salo - Tuukka Mäntylä
Kimmo Rintanen - Esa Pirnes - Niklas Hagman

Toni Söderholm
Tony Virta - Lasse Pirjetä - Antti Laaksonen

Jarkko Ruutu

 

[VanCanuck]

4-2 USA

Go USA Go

what a beautiful avatar

USA is leading 2-0, 3 places for goal 2 in. No surprises but still weak performance from the Leons.

 

[Preds666]

great comeback by Finland in the second. Now let's hope they can pull it off and win, I'll be a rich man if they do

[WuRtZLeSs]

Any updates?

 

[mikkoz]

Any updates?

3-2 Pirjetä

4-2 Pirjetä - final score. Never would of guessed Laiska Lasse scored twice. Un****inbelievable!

finland, finland, finland the country where I want to be

pony trekking or camping, or just watching tv

finland, finland, finland it's the country for me

you're so near to Russia, so far from Japan, quite a long way from Cairo, lots of miles Vietnam

finland, finland, finland the country where I want to be

eating breakfast or dinner, or snack lunch in the hall

finland, finland, finland has it all

you're so sadly neglected and often ignored, a close second to Belgium when going abroad

finland, finland, finland, the country where I quite want to be

your mountains so lofty, your treetops so tall

finland, finland, finland

FINLAND HAS IT ALL!
