Hey, Phil does have a point: why not French teams, or New Zealand teams, or Israeli teams??? Why Russian teams in particular??!!

Bringing up the second world war in response to a valid point is rude. Phil has a good point. (Nice point, Phil)

Also, Soviet - Communism. There is no more USSR. Look's like someone ELSE is living in the Cold war . They're called Russia now, not the Soviets, and calling them "ruskies" is a great way to get them to want to join FIRST.

The problem is definity in logistics, travel would cost a fortune. We'd need to start a European FIRST competition, Germany would be a central location, close enough to enable most European countries to fly to, and stable enough to provide security and what not.

Does any country other than France has any theme parks, a la EPCOT??
