World Cup winners ??

the problem with the Moldovians is that they are used to playing in mountains, with
a live goat as a ball... once they start playing in flat terrain with a real ball ... they
just fall to pieces

hey, Cuba is in 96th place ... not bad for a team that hasn't won a game in, like,
six years?

Has anyone ever been to Moldova?
I don't know, for some reason the name reminds me of that country that Belky from "Perfect Strangers" was supposedly from....

Anyone remember that show??

Hijack in progress !

it is sort of like that ... a country in the middle of nowhere and the poorest country
in Europe, rolled into one

Wow, my memories of the show are so vivid and I was a wee tot at the time..

Mypos is the fictional island country in which Balki Bartokomous is from. It has some customs which are unusual by American standards. In one episode Balki wears a traditional necklace that is in the shape of the island, which looks exactly like a pork chop. Cuisine includes:

• halkidiki: a Myposian travel food which consists of milk, eggs, flour, honey, and goat spleen set out at room temperature until it gets that "little green fur" (as Balki described it).
• booglie muzacman: pig bladder stuffed with cheese.
• bibbibabka: A Myposian delicacy which must be prepared very carefully or it will explode. As Balki puts it, "The bibbibka... goes blooey."

Customs include a bed time: in the middle of the day, someone rings a bell, and each person lays down to take a nap wherever they happen to be. On Mypos when it is a person's birthday, the person whose birthday it is gives presents to other people.
The king of Mypos was King Ferdinand, who was king until 1991. It is not known when he became king, but it was prior to 1986. After King Ferdinand died in 1991, the queen of Mypos was Queen Cookie.
From the episode "The Lottery", if Balki won the jackpot he would pay off the Mypos national debt of $635.
Other than during the opening credits when Balki waved goodbye, Mypos was only shown in one episode "Citizenship" in Season 7. Including convincing the travel agent that there was such a country, Larry traveled there to convince Balki's mother that her son, who became a U.S. citizen, is happier, back in Chicago.
