Fred T. Jane Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Because their only other claim to fame/relevance is a large number of rusting and not-so-rusting rockets at Baikonur Cosmodrome.And those don't even belong to them. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

lopernv Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 They also have Pushkarev as an option for international play in the future, they also have Kolesnik, a former NHL goalie.And if he wouldn't be a punk*, they'd be set in goal with Nabokov too. but noooooooo. *OK, sure, his family is Russian and all, and considers himself Russian, but come on, you'd be a national hero! If I'm not mistaken, didn't Pushkarev play for the Kazahkstan World Junior team? Or did I misunderstand what you said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopernv Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Nevermind... I was talking about Nabokov and his awkward international status (until 2005, that is).Yeah, I was not exactly sure what you were talking about.After a certain year will players born in the surrounding areas of Russia, like Kaszahkstan, be allowed to play for Russia and not their actual nationality? If that is what is going on now...anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is what is going on now...anyways.Not really,With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, players who were born in what were then Soviet SSRs had the choice between playing for Russia or the new republics. Nabokov, who is of Russian descent, played in a single World Championship for Kazakhstan in 1994, which made him a Kazakh in the eyes of the IIHF, despite him having Russian citizenship the entire time. He fought to change his status for 7+ years, and finally got it changed in 2005. The Turin Olympics was the first tournament he actually played for Russia, having passed on the 2005 Worlds.

Lee. Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 What's missing is the quote from the Thai coach..."well, in fairness, we've only got about 40 guys in the country to choose from."That's classico. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to that is yes, provided they have Russian citizenship and have never played for their country of birth, like Brett Hull, for example.

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 even on easy mode of nhl 2002 i can't even run the score up that high. after 10 or 12 goals, i start to lose interest in the game i'm playing. thats almost as bad as me using the current cowboys with Romo and routing the 66 packers 120 to 14 on all pro.
