Hello Roman; 

 -=> Quoting Roman Kralya to Peter Coggon <=-

 RK> It is a pity to me, but you watch hockey??? , or Euro 2004.
 
  Yes I watch Hockey.  International hockey and a few NHL games
all on the TV of course.   I have been keeping up on the 
Euro 2004 too!   I have been amazed so far, with all the big
teams dropping by the wayside...but then this is great as it
makes for an interesting finish.

I will be watching Sunday for the final game of Euro 2004.

For some reason I am thinking CZECHs...What do you think?

 RK> All the city was crazy at that days.
 
 When I played hockey.  My team sweater was the same as yours
the Black Hawks.  Number 8 was on my sweater, and I remember
all so well in 1962 winning that final game, getting the
trophy and ...well then it seemed in a month or so we were
getting ready for next year.

Our town ...small went crazy like yours!  When I played for
my Great Uncle in the USA, the town there went really
crazy!  Never experienced big crowd going crazy before.

 RK> BRAZIL play very good. This command has many great players. You can
 RK> say to your wife, that in Russia this team is one of the favourites !
 RK> :) 

 Roman...I think BRAZIL [] has many fans in the world.  Every team
dreams of beating them.  At the last World Cup, I had friends in
Brazil and here in CANADA thinking that they would loose, and in
the meantime I watched practices, and saw drills of what was to
come.  My wife questioned my faith in my thoughts about Brazil
but after I showed her videotapes of practices, she believed
too...and while we sat through many close games, and watched
the big teams get beat by smaller teams, we both believed
Brazil would win.   I have never been so stressed since my
playing and coaching days.   

 I will let my wife Maria know about you being a fan of Brazil.
But hey... we both know that should RUSSIA or CANADA make it
to the World Cup...we will both be cheering for the national
team....right Roman ?  .

 If you ever get a chance to watch a Brasilian goaler play
called DIDA... give him close attention. He plays like he
is on a ice hockey team.  He stands up...challenges and
is a real hard man to score on.


 RK> Oh, no. It is a big pleasure to mix with a man, about fovourite
 RK> things. May be only my english spoiled the mood. I`m sorry.

  Don't worry Roman about the English.  I am very honoured to have
a correspondent...no a friend in Russia that likes the sports
I have been brought up with.  It has all been very enjoyable.
I look forward to our next exchange.

ttfn

Peter
