They won't boo the Taiwanese. Taiwanese owns like 30% of the manufacturing businesses in China. The South Korean team did give some boos.

Just wait until China wipes out Taiwan. They'll get jealous of Russia's war games.

Zomg Chicago 2016!

I think the London games and if there are Chicago games will be much more enjoyable than the Beijing games. There are too many negative controversies around the games this year.

A lot of countries had hotties, even some you wouldn't expect.

Captain_Morgan · Post #39 » by **Captain_Morgan** » Sat Aug 9, 2008 8:00 am

I think Chinese Taipei had the hottest girls.

I'm biased of course.

Turkey sucked without Mehmet Okur.
