This country is crazy about ice hockey...

Do you know what's the most popular topic of discussion among Finnish people every year in May?

- Of course world championship tournament of ice hockey!

Tonight will be either big success or big disappointment for approximately 3 million Finns, who will be watching the final match between loving neighbors: Finland and Sweden. (Population of Finland is 5,4 million.) We love and hate Sweden at the same time. By the way we have common history with Swedes, because Finland was a part of Sweden until 1809.

I start to follow the big match! I start to be nervous! I hope that Finland will tonight win the second world championship of ice hockey! Anyway I have to deal this video for you:


PS. Martin, Sweden will lose!!!

One day after the big final:

Finland totally bet Sweden! 6-1! Unbelievable! I'm following the parties from TV. There are approximately 80,000 people celebrating in Helsinki. Oh, president of Finland (also patron of IFSS 2011) is there too! :-)
