I noticed that and I'm not sure if I like it or not, I think I do, purely due to the fact that it doesn't have any numbers in there anymore. Seraphim was pretty catchy alone.

Anyways, that's just about all I have to discuss, barely anything seems to be going on at the moment on the discussion side of things. Hopefully it'll pick up as we get into the week.

I think the jury is still out about the Designated Player Rule aka 'Beckam Rule' on the MLS side of things. I really hope it doesn't turn into a retirement home for former Eurostars.

Former EuroStars are still better than most of the 'talent' on show at the MLS. You would see a benefit of the coaching and experience that they can bring along to help the kids out.

I'd prefer the Bird Man :P
He would be intimidating at 6ft 10 but I seriously doubt he even knows what soccer ball is.

Yeah, it's quite funny how this still is such a big topic today even though both players are got along with each other only a few months after the incident. IIRC they even appeared in a commercial together.

Really? :p

Yeah it's always fun now :p
And it's even more fun when the german team kicks the dutch out of a tournament. :P

Ha! I loved how you guys failed in that in EC 2004, with the Czech screwing you guys over. Great times.

Hehe alright :p Well that's too bad for you guys then. I can remember 4 years ago he was considered the only good striker in all of Germany.
Yeah it seems once a striker wears the national strip he suddendly doesn't know how to kick the ball anymore. But that doesn't matter too much as long as the midfielders or the defenders score the goals. ^^

I don't think Holland has ever had that problem. Our offensive players have always been really good. It's our defense that occasionally screws up though.

I don't know much about both of those players to be honest. Haven't been paying much attention to what's going on in the football world lately, especially not outside of Holland. Gerd Müller was a player for Germany once wasn't he? So how old is Thomas then?
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerd_Müller
Also called "der Bobmer der Nation" (the nation's Bomber) or "kleines dickes Müller" (Small fat Müller).
He scored 365 goals in the Bundesliga and 68 for the national team (in only 66 international matches! O_O). Also he was the most succesful scorer at a WC with 14 goals until Ronaldo took over the first place with his goals in the WC 2006.

Jeez that guy was amazing. I don't think I have ever seen a player before that has an almost 1:1 goals to matches ratio over his entire career. More than 1:1 on the national team is even more impressive.

I know they used to play way more offensive several decades ago, but still... I don't think many players have matched him.

And Thomas Müller is 20 now.

I wouldn't call that too young. It's indeed young, but well... it's always good to have some young players in your team to let them have some extra experience so that they will be ready to replace the elders.

I think Holland has definitely learned that lesson at the beginning of last decade. Our average age must've been like 29 years old back then and we didn't even manage to qualify for the 2002 WC even though we had a great team on paper.

That's what I don't understand. The dutch team is ALWAYS great on paper, so you'd expect them to come very far in a tournament, but somehow they always fail. Much like the english team. They have great players, but the team performs pretty badly.
Not that the german team has won anything since the EC 1996 and the performances in the EC 2000 (only 1 point in the group phase... but at least the dutch team managed to miss 5 penalties in the match against Italy, so even the germans had something to laugh in that tournament. :P ) and 2004 (seriously, 0:0 against Latvia??) where REALLY bad , but second in 2002, third in 2006, and again second in 2008 is quite impressive, imo.

Not sure from which era Jan Wouters was. I think from long ago, because I don't know much about him actually.

Like a 'goalgetter' right? I believe that's the English term. I think strikers like that are never that popular, but they're usually the most effective ones.

I think Holland has definitely learned that lesson at the beginning of last decade. Our average age must've been like 29 years old back then and we didn't even manage to qualify for the 2002 WC even though we had a great team on paper.
That's what I don't understand. The dutch team is ALWAYS great on paper, so you'd expect them to come very far in a tournament, but somehow they always fail. Much like the english team. They have great players, but the team performs pretty badly.

At the moment our team is not so impressive on paper I think. Our offense is pretty good since most of them are base players for clubs like Bayern Munchen and Liverpool. But for the rest a lot of them are still playing in the dutch competition, which is widely known as a "Mickey Mouse"-league.

And as for the English team, the current team looks pretty good but most of the times they're not that impressive on paper if you ask me :p They usually have a good player or two, but the rest always seems like a scattered bunch to me. You know, lots of low-profile players playing for English "middenmoters" as we call them. The clubs that are happy when they can play for the UEFA cup again in the next season (Birmingham, Aston Villa, Everton etc.).

Not that the german team has won anything since the EC 1996 and the performances in the EC 2000 (only 1 point in the group phase... but at least the dutch team managed to miss 5 penalties in the match against Italy, so even the germans had something to laugh in that tournament. :P )

Oh yeah, our team was so bad at taking penalties back then. Both in 98 and 00 we were kicked out of the tournament because of penalty series. We scored only 3 out of the 8. In 96 we were also eliminated after penalties (5-4 against France). And you probably know Clarence Seedorf. I have never ever seen that guy scoring a single penalty in his entire carreer, yet coaches always let him take one for some reason. Even in the Champions League final of 2003 he missed one for AC Milan.

Fortunately the new generation of players after 2002 knows how to take penalties.

and 2004 (seriously, 0:0 against Latvia??) where REALLY bad , but second in 2002, third in 2006, and again second in 2008 is quite impressive, imo.

Yeah it's pretty good. Sure a lot better than Holland has done lately. I believe fourth place in 1998 and semi-finalist in '00 and '04 was the highest in the past 12 years.

Also wasn't Germany the best team on tournaments of all time or something?

Alternative Character Battle 2 - Battle 14 (Second Round): Locke Cole vs Altair

21,000 posts is not all I've achieved right now. Just today after depositing, I passed 120,000 total points! Total point milestones are an extreme rarity for me now as the next one will be 123,456 and 130,000 after that which I won't even get until at least 2 years time! Well, unless medals are counted by then which would speed up the process.

Coop, be sure to let me know when you hit 120,000 total points.

Wise choice. I started using Opera after getting fed up with the constant crashes Firefox had. Sure, it may not be as bad now but I'm sticking with Opera. The RSS feeds are very handy, the scrolling is very neat and bookmarks are well organised for me. I just wish it didn't freeze for a few seconds when putting videos on full screen.

Well, he said there's no party. I guess it's time to thrash it up a little.

Hehe, I had to find a way to lure you all into his profile. >:)

This could be a once in a lifetime chance. :P
Yeah, to be the frontman of a band that most people in the Metal Hell hate :P

Do their opinions matter to you?

I might have a go at some point. My webcam appears to be fucked, which is a bit of a pain... I'll see if I can borrow one of my Mrs.

Here's hoping.

Yeah, Virgin Media are awkward like that. When they went down last week, I had to phone them up, they get an engineer booked and 5 minutes later, the TV and broadband were back, so that was a waste and I was just reporting an area fault!
Well, you got the broadband and TV back, didn't you?

Yes but still, it just shows how much of a pain they are at times. Good thing they cancelled the engineer right away as he would have wasted his time.
