I am! Why wouldn't everybody here be doing it?

We've got a decent team in spite of our coach's tactics.

I'll be honest, I really don't care about our Women's team. However, even though I won't be watching their games, I will be keeping track of their progress throughout the tournament. Hopefully they have better luck than under 20 boys.

I can't believe Clubber is 20. It seems like yesterday that we were reminding certain posters at the Vs that the girl was 15 and that they needed to go take a cold shower.

Anyway...

I'll be watching the WWC, for sure. It's a World Cup, why wouldn't I watch (although the time difference will mean I'll only catch Canada's games)? I honestly have no idea what to expect from the team. They are complaining that they don't have an adequate prep budget (suggesting that the CSA caters to the men, which is a joke considering how little support the men actually get), but at the same time they have a sugar daddy that's allowed them to train together all year.

The semi berth in '03 was likely a bit fortunate--China was the better team in the quarters--so there is the real possibility that there could bea let down.

It will be interesting to see how they do in Rio de Janeiro. I read somewhere that a crowd of 100,000 could turnout for the final if (as is likely) Brazil are playing.
