Foreign Countries @ FOFC
I was wondering how many countries we have represented here. I can count 9 off the top of my head.
USA England Canada France Netherlands/Holland Turkey Malaysia Australia Sweden EDITED TO ADD/CHANGE: Spain Scotland Britain (Not sure which is proper term for just the country, not including Wales/Scotland. Is it UK/Britain/England/GB?) Italy Denmark Finland Texas (Like Puerto Rico-Think they are a separate country and you can't understand what they say) Any Welsh/Irish posters? How about South American/African posters? We should have at least one, like the Olympic Rings. Also, are all 50 states represented at FOFC? Last edited by BishopMVP : 02-13-2003 at 04:19 PM. |

I thought Canada was part of the US by now? Didn't we annex them or something, or is it just the fact that their hockey teams keep moving here that's confusing me?

Hey Joe, I'm pretty pissed about Canadian teams moving too. The last season the Jets were in Canada, they played the Wings in the first round, and the Wings clinched in Winnipeg. I was almost hoping the Wings would lose so the Jets fans last experience at a game would be a good one. Then, a couple years back, I had went to a Coyotes game in Phoenix. Worst........experience............ever (except for the fact they beat the Avalanche by about 6  ) |

I seem to remeber a guy that posted once or twice in the Middle East debates at the old board, that had a name like tcy.italian, or something like that. Don't know if he was really from Italy, but his name might suggest it.

I just said that we are "going" to try to kick your ass. That is not necessarily what is going to happen
18 games without a loss inTwickenham for England is pretty impressive indeed ! |

Looks like I have lost some money. It took exactly 12 posts to change this from a "Foreign Countries @ FOFC" thread to a "where in the US are we all from?" thread.
Highly amusing! kiwiDE57 - the guy from New Zealand. By the way, the Waikato Spears won Kiwibowl XXI 45 - 6 over the Papatoetoe Wildcats. We went undefeated and won our fourth title in five straight appearances. We have a short provincial (i.e. interstate) tournament coming up in the next few weeks pitting regional selections from the greater Auckland, Wellington and Waikato areas against each other. Then the New Zealand side (picked on the basis of the above games) have a "test match" against Australia on July 19 in Auckland. And the Americas Cup kicks off on Saturday Feb 15th (NZT) with Team New Zealand defending against the Louis Vuitton Cup winner, Alinghi (from Switzerland - that great ocean racing nation. Crewed by mostly Kiwis though.).
