As the country goes wild over its men’s ice hockey gold at the Vancouver Olympics, another Team Canada put up a strong effort but fell short by a goal, half way around the world at the field hockey World Cup in Delhi, India. Canada lost 3-2 to New Zealand in its first game at the tournament today.
This is the first time since 1998 that Canada has made it to the field hockey World Cup. Canada has won only 5 of 29 World Cup games.
For all the flag-waving patriotic Canadians out there, are you going to support the field hockey team or are you going pretend you don’t know about them because they’re losers? Do you support your country’s sportsmen only when they’re winners?
Field hockey sucks.
