問題詳情：

  Some people believe that international sports create goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.

Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension (停賽) of the team for at least three years.

____38____  The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.
