Canada ***destroys*** US in WC marathon!!!

YEAH!!! Canada can beat the US C team! Go Canada!

We beat the best of your athletes that had the balls to show up for WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS...period.

Sorry that your "A" and "B" teams couldn't show some national pride. No points for PRs, though, kid.

Canada has what, one medal in the whole Championships?

Sure, sure. Start a thread about it if you want.

In the meantime, if you can't read, this thread is about Canada decimating the joke that was the US team in this year's WC marathon. 300 million people and you can't even get four guys to finish the race? My DAD could have done better than your fourth man.

AMERICA F*** YEAH!!!!

You folks ought to be glad we let Canada exist

Canada?

What's that?

Oh yeah, the ginger ale.

So why won't the US A team show up? And why should Canada's A or B team beat the US C team? We should be ashamed.

Why start a thread like this? The only thing that is going to happen is riling up a bunch of idiots who in turn rip on YOUR home country. Canada is a fantastic place but let's get serious!! Today's marathon meant nothing in terms of who the better marathon nation is. US is clearly better at the front and has a tonne more depth. That being said, in regards to the comment about Canada being lucky to exist: You Americans are lucky Canada exists as it gives you a country nearby that is actually a damn nice place to live no matter what part you are in!

As an American I have to say he is right. Team USA was a JOKE. Who the hell was that 4th guy? Never EVER heard of him. It's embarrassing as a fan of US Distance running that we put a JV team like that out. We deserved to get smoked like a blunt by the Canadians. Stop kidding yourselves guys this isn't about how Canada has done in the rest of the World Championships it's about how terrible USA did in the marathon compared to Canada.

Oh and their health care system actually works. :)

I don't know who you are Canadian Crusher, by the name, but you are acting like a tool at this moment. Do I know you? I hope not.

Reid has run in the 27s, so one day should pop a decent marathon time, probably up the field quite a bit for Worlds. We have others up and coming too. However, the Americans could have trounced us if their team showed up.

So cut the attitude, not very Canadian-like.

6 of 10. I guess some people cared.

We all know what this is really aboot. Canada is jealous of America in every way. You can talk all you want aboot their healthcare system, but if indeed it works as well as some say it does, then thats pretty much the only thing theyve got on us. (granted it is a very important thing) America is still the best place on the planet to live and the rest of the world knows it.

Aaaaaaaaaaand there it is. That Canadian insistency on beating down anyone who thinks or acts differently. This is the first time I've seen it applied to someone making pro-Canadian, anti-American statements, though.

WE NEED MORE MONEY!!!

Young was carrying an injury - he gave it a go, but was forced to stop. His first DNF, as far as I know. The Canadians are good marathoners, but Young hasn't come close to his potential at this distance. In time, I'm confident he will prove me correct.

Portugal destroyed Canada by an even bigger margin. How does that make you feel. Portugal is a shithole with 1/3 of Canada's population.

Discuss...

Loser!

No I don't think any Canadians are jealous of the US in any major way. I have never heard of it. But we have some other things that we like to trumpet aboot - other than healthcare.

For instance, our hockey, our football, although not as good as the NFL, to many the CFL game is a better, more exciting way to play and watch.

A Canadian invented basketball, an American ruined it - or several Americans.

I think Canadians may be jealous of hotspots like Vegas, NY, Disney, Grand Canyon etc.

But we know you really, really, really want our beer.

We may be jealous of evengelists, the 8th mile, Watts and extremely long and drawn out method of electing a president.
