Congrats to Russia!

Last night, Russia won 3-1 against Holland, the same team that won 4-1 against France. The nerdiest among you will reckon that if Chasles's relationship applies as in the vectorial world, that means that Russia virtually won 7-2 against France... And this happens only weeks after Russia won the Eurovision contest! (a contest where the French guy was singing in English...geezzz, it is not easy to be French this year). Anyway, it feels good to have Russia giving a flavor of humility to Holland, the so-called "other country of cheese".
But: what's left that we can beat the Russians at? Mmmmh... not much as long as there are no contests of safe driving and even stairs building.

Hmm, I wouldn't place too much money on your chances of winning the safe driving one either.

How about an event in which teams would try to maximize corruption(talking about referees here ;) )and eliminate opponent's "informants" ?

Now that I think about it,we'd lose that one too...
Russia just kicks ass these days.

Ian, you would be happy to learn that my summer driving skills are much better than my winter ones. As for CO , he might not make many friends in Russia.
