I think I'm gonna have to agree with you on this one. Go Czechs! (Not that I don't love the good ole US of A, but the Czechs are just cooler. And better soccer players...)
Mitch - since you'll be living overseas, you may be interested in this little 'anonymous' discussion between a South American national (who you know), and North American missionary on a team to the same country (who you may know, I'm not sure), and myself.
