• "Canada.  It's the Olympics.  The OLYMPICS!  Are khakis and zippys the best you can do?  1st place loser is too good for you. No wonder you're still best known for being America's attic. Jeez. "  -Team Turkey
• "Czech Republic.  To call this the mullet of uniforms would be an insult to mullets. This   monstrosity was business on top, and god-only-knows-what on the bottom.  Even the best of party goers wouldn't have paired electric blue spandex shorts with matching rubber boots.  It was like the entire nation woke up late, threw on a dress shirt and tie, then forgot to put their pants on before dashing off to work.  In the rain."  -Team Turkey
