Finland Ice-Hockey World Champ 2011

We waited for this 16 loooong years!! Every year we thought that this year is the year, but always something happened...and usually it was Sweden who took the dream away from us...but not this year!! This year is our year!! Finland did it again, we are THE ICE-HOCKEY CHAMPS 2011!!!

2006 when there was Finland - Sweden hockey finale in Olympics, I was also in Thailand. We tried to find a place where to watch, but could not find any place and ended up only listening the game in internet place...and the game turned out to be same as all the games with Sweden, they won the gold!!!
But this year it was different....we went to Phuket with a boat to make sure we could actually see the game, without any power cuts on the island...

We found one finnish bar where they actually had a big screen!!! We were already going to this swedish bar, cause somebody said it is the only place where the game is on...that could have been fun. ;) (I would never go to finnish bar anywhere abroad, but this time we made an exception...)

We had few finnish people there and few from Belgium and Australia...we could not get the live voice from Finland. It would have made it perfect, if we could have heard the voice of Antero Mertaranta. He is living Legend, who always covers the games!! He is simple the best!!

The game was so good!! We yelled, screamed, jumped, drinked & of course made fun of the swedes... :)
Finland-Sweden games are the best ever. It is the worst feeling when we lose to them (and let me tell you, it has heppened a lot over the years) but nothing feels better than beating the swedes!! ;)

We won 6-1, so it was not even close!! We deserded to win the gold this year, we were just better in every section. After the win we had some sparkling wine and head to Patong with this huge Finnish flag.

Too bad there were no swedish people anywhere!! For the first time we so tried to look for them but they were all hiding somewhere!! ;) And we were singing DEN GLIDER IN!!

The celebration continued in Hollywood club and VIP section.We had the huge flag with us the whole evening...and celebration went on till 6.30 am that morning. :)

Ok...I think that Absolut sign just made the evening even better. ;) We are absolut better!!

The next day I went to internet cafe and listen to Antero Mertaranta & goals of the game like million times and laughed and cried every time!! :)
