Well, God's chosen people and all. The only reason we have a retracting roof on our rugby stadium is so that God can watch us play. ;)

That's the reason why we built a retracting roof on our stadium in Toronto. So God could see how baseball was supposed to be played.

If you are really feeling ambitious, you can also name all the European countries that end in "ia".

Andorra, Moldova, Malta and erm um well, I'm spent.

---

That's three correct. I'm gonna give killer a hint on the fourth. It became a country in the 1990s

That's the one. I myself would have been unsure also, but Wiki says it's a country, spelling is Herzegovina. Good job.

Nope

It is my understanding that Puerto Rico is a US protectorate. So I'll say Puerto Rico. If Puerto Rico isn't eligible I'll say Manhattan

Puerto Rico is a US protectorate, however both PR and Manhattan are incorrect.

Yeah - the Jays stadium is nice (I have family in Scarboro and Markham), been there many times.

Seriously though, you want to get to the Millenium Stadium in cardiff - it is world class with a galaxy class atmosphere !

Yeah? My parents and sister live in Markham. Next time you plan a visit, drop me a pm, maybe we can get together for beer at the Duchess of Markham, they have a great patio in the summer.
