It did start well though. For 5 minutes or so and then it went downhill very fast. It's going to be a long tournament for us...

Yeah, but hey, every game is different and each game start from 0-0 so nothing is over before it is over, especially in hockey.

 

History is full of incredible turnovers in this beautiful sport. Once we won a bronze medal at the WJCh while we lost the first match 0-8. So, head´s up and continue

The name of the country Czechia in Portuguese here is very similar to the name for the female reproductive organ.

 

The people in the comments of this game are very childish.
