Assuming the link will work, this is a nice comprehensive article from Canada about WC 1.

Of course my favorite line in the article is the explanation of why the Koreans were not there.

YES! This is a really great article, and well worth a read... I'm gonna try to remember to copy it to the Canadians thread. In our exhuberance over the USA's performance, it must be noted that Canada performed equally as well and should be congratulated for their efforts! And there were some other 'unexpected' standouts (i.e., France) that should make for some fun 'rivalries' this season!

Thank you to Peter Doucet, who attended WC1 for this video (and I LOVE Band of Horses for the music - recently discovered them, and they're awesome!):

Let's all pray that 'Mister Doucet' is totally over his illness: "It's not easy being green"...
