Niklas Hagman tipped home a power-play goal with 6:26 to play to break open a scoreless game as Finland beat the Czech Republic 2-0 Wednesday night in the quarter-finals of the men's Olympic hockey tournament.
Finland, Finland, Finland The country where I want to be Pony trekking or camping Or just watching TV Finland, Finland, Finland It's the country for me
You're so near to Russia So far from Japan Quite a long way from Cairo Lots of miles from Vietnam
Finland, Finland, Finland The country where I want to be Eating breakfast or dinner Or snack lunch in the hall Finland, Finland, Finland Finland has it all
You're so sadly neglected And often ignored A poor second to Belgium When going abroad
Finland, Finland, Finland The country where I quite want to be Your mountains so lofty Your treetops so tall Finland, Finland, Finland Finland has it all
It's too bad the Finns and Americans go first, because if (OK when) the Canadians beat the Slovaks I want to cheer for the Americans, because I want a rematch in the final.
(If the impossible happens and Canada loses against the Slovaks, I would have liked to have cheered for Finland.)
Against the Yanks at least.
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping
Or just watching TV
Finland, Finland, Finland
It's the country for me
You're so near to Russia
So far from Japan
Quite a long way from Cairo
Lots of miles from Vietnam
Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Eating breakfast or dinner
Or snack lunch in the hall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all
You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored
A poor second to Belgium
When going abroad
Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all
That is unless you play us, then screw the Fins!
(If the impossible happens and Canada loses against the Slovaks, I would have liked to have cheered for Finland.)
