Now, Colin, my friend, I will accept the blanket statement that Americans
are stupid. It's a given, no lo contendro or some such Latin phrase.
However, to argue that adding an Ozzie team to a US tourney doesn't make it
at least somewhat international, that one ya can't really fight for. I
mean, if we were arguing that the UPA Finals were the World Championships
because we added a team from Canada, sure, we'd be stupid. Or it if was
international b/c you played for a team from the California, sure, we'd be
stupid. Even if we claimed the Goaltimate tourney was the world
championships because you/the Ozzies were there, we'd still be stupid.
(maybe that's what you were trying to say; if so it wasn't clear) (or maybe
I'm just stupid!)
But, at least in my book, Oz = Not North America = international
However, as the whole discussion is about Goaltimate, who the f(*&)(&uck
cares anyway?
toodle from the land of the brave people defended by 7,000 long-range
