Ukraine had a nice win- always good to see the home side do well. Co-host Poland scored a beautiful goal to tie Russia.
Germany wins it all
No, I'm pretty sure Suter is a F/A ... both him & Weber, I mix them up all the time though, I'd take either one, even if Weber did smash Zetterberg's noggin into the glass ... don't want Pronger but I'd take Jagr, the Wings would get whatever's left out of him & he'd be a ticket draw,

Hey, I was watching Germany play the Netherlands in my Albanian hang-out & the Albanians got all vocal when they announced Germany's Mario Gomez scored his double ... they were like, "there's a 'Gomez' playing on a German team?",
... when I pointed out it looked like Germany had a black guy too, they really got animated,
... I joked with them, "hey guys, people do cross borders you know". They just shook their heads & walked back into the kitchen talking in Albanian,
... I tell you, these guys take their soccer and their ethnicity seriously,

Italy vs Croatia tommorrow ... Croatia looks good, but I'll be rooting for the Italians to beat them (and avenge the Irish).
