Canada was upset by Switzerland 2-0 in Olympic Ice Hockey today at the Winter Games in Torino, Italy...?

I think the biggest upset in Olympic Hockey was Sweden beating the USA is women's hockey earlier in the week.  Living in MN (home of five of the hockey players) all I ever heard was about how would the US do against Canada once they got to the gold medal game.  The US vs Canada was a predetermined outcome for the Gold Medal and Sweden stopped the US.\n\nToronto is a beautiful place.

I still have to say that the "Miracle on Ice" was the biggest upset in sports history.  The US used amateur college kids in those Olympic games and they beat the best team in the world.  There wasn't a person outside of the United States that actually thought the US team could win the gold medal in those Olympics.

To Shaun: that's not quite right - Germany got beat pretty bad by Italy just a couple of weeks before this game. So, many people in Germany weren't really counting on the German team to win - they were happy they did, though!\nThe US-soccer team is a pretty good team!\nP.S. I am from Germany!

i think this article sums it up the best: \n"Bode an Embarrassment.\n\nFeb 26, 2006 6:26 pm\n\n\n\n0-5! That’s the line for Bode Miller, unless you add the number of bars in Torino which he successfully closed down. In which case the number would be…let see, how many nights was he there? Miller is the biggest disappointment in the Winter Olympics, not because of the way he skied the mountain, but the way he acted once he finally hit the bottom of it. If he wants to go out and party every night, that’s fine. Most athletes do. I was in Nagano 8 years ago when the USA mens Hockey team destroyed the Olympic Village because they had nowhere else to go to release their frustration.\nBut millers behavior is just embarrassing for the USA because he simply acted like he didn't try, and didn't care. Not winning a medal is something we can brush aside, getting fatter on beer while you're over there is not. Without question Miller time spent more time partying than he did competing. His final event, the slalom, lasted 16 seconds. He stubled out of the gate, took a few awkward turns, then seemed to say…oh the heck with it. Take me to the nearest watering hole. Mller even admitted on camra he is fatter and more out of shape than ever before. Way to get ready for the games!\nCertainly there were many other Olympic disappointments for the USA…Lindsay Jacobolis falling within sight of a gold, then making up a ridiculous story about the wind! Michelle Kwan out before the games started. Skater Johnny Weir blaming his woes on a bad bus ride. How about USA Hockey…losing to Slovakia and getting tied up by Latvia.\n\nBut miller is the most ridiculous He has said over and over he couldn't care less about winning a medal! It makes you wonder…why did he even go??"

I look at all the tournement and the really deserve it. Those girl are unstoppable right now. Think about that they only had 1 goal scored against them in the preliminary round ans they score 36 time. The best team after that is USA with 18 goals for (GF) - 3 goals against (GA). In the final round Canada had 10 GF and 1 GA. Sweden, the finalist had 4 GF and 6 GA. In his forst match Team Canada could have play without goalie and still score three time what the other team did. (Canada had 16 goals and Italy 5 shots). \nI know this is only statistic but I can assure you that Team Canada deserve this medal.

I totally agree, this is getting rediculous. Talk about sore losers. Aussies couldn't even get a shot on net and they are saying they got robbed. Plus Materazzi didn't deserve the red card so they were a man down the entire second half, defence was superb and the better team won. Please GIVE IT UP ALREADY!!. FORZA ITALIAAAAAAAAA

Dunno. Is there something going on I didn't get invited to? Really, I don't care about anything except the upcoming Champions on Ice at Altel Arena.

I don't think it's corruption, who would dare with there already being a scandal in Italy?  Inept is the right word, the officiating has been horrible, the worst I've seen.  The Koreans benefited from it in the match with France when the french made a goal that wasn't counted, this time they were on the losing end.

Aye!\nhttp://www.torino2006.org/ENG/IDF/ATH/X01_IRL_1.html\n(The ENTIRE Irish Olympic team has only 4 members, certainly not enough to field a hockey team.  And they are all in downhill/crosscountry sports, 3 skiing and 1 skeleton.)\n\nhttp://www.olympic-council.ie/history.html

italy has been handed two games by the refs, the one vs usa and now a terrible call pk against aus put them through to the quarters. i hate to see the ref decide (on a bad call) the outcome of such an important game. except this years cup, these things should be expected now. australia didnt deserve to lose and italy didnt deserve to win. its unfortunate, sorry.

The Italian team ^_^\n\nI'd be too speechless and happy to talk! Seroiusly, we'd probably end up talking about something random like Canada lol\n\nProbably end up playing a little match together\n\nFootball stadium

Not one single opposing player scored on Italy for the entire WC in regular play.  I seriously doubt Ziziou or anyone else would have done that with only 10 minutes left.\n\nEdit:\nSome good points below me that indeed the Italians could have lost in the final moments of the game (not including the fact Zizou would have been in the shoot out).  What I want to know is how much some of you would have bet money on it.\nYes Italia did well in the Germany game, and lets not forget the Australians against South Korea (I think it was against SK).  It's just not likely is all.

I would have answered "all of the above" if your question wasn't worded "which ONE", but since that isn't the case, I'll go with your claim on Mrs Materazzi's forum... \n\nd) Germany vs. Italy. I remember you said that you were disappointed when Grosso scored the goal, that you cried.
