This is true. They ALWAYS do well, no matter how sucky their team seems to be on paper.

I just wished Löw wouldn't nominate Podolski and Klose anymore. Both play very badly right now, especially Podolski who didn't score a goal for over 1,400 minutes until yesterday...

My dream finale: Netherlands vs Germany. Preferrably with the same result as in '74. :D

My dream final also, except that it would have to be ZWEI - EINS! again ;)

Well, if the final really is Netherlands - Germany then of course the score should be EEN - TWEE. :P

You should never underestimate the german team. Sure, they play like shit right now, and they will continue to do so in the WC, but somehow other teams play even worse when they face the german team, so germany (almost) always wins. XD

The German team might seem disorganized, but the individual quality shows up when it gets real. ;)

The german team always plays a lot better once the tournament starts. Just before WC 06 germany got beat by Italy 1-4, the game was just horrible. But in the tournament suddendly the team didn't play that bad at all. ^^

But seriously, semi finale in WC 06, Finale in EC 08... not that bad.

Champions in '10? Who knows, right? =)

Would be great. XD

I'd be happy if either Germany, Italy, Uruguay and, of course, Brazil won it. Family stuff. :)

I don't know why, but I just don't like the brazilian team. I never liked them even though the world's best footballers come from brazil.
I mean, I like the individual players (it's hard not to like them when you watch them play ^^), but as a team I find them very unfriendly.

Honestly, it seems that it's not the submissions that have changed but the voters. Seeing as over time people started voting higher more and more Flashes were passed the people who B/P purely for the points started doing so as well. I vote zero or one on about half of the submissions on the site and still end up with much more saves than blams.

Yeah, he was definitely very immature, although it seems like there's something missing from the LUL without him. Even if he seemed a bit of a twat, he definitely had a place.

Whatever happened to him exactly, I have no idea but this place is a lot better without him. After all, he did say a few dangerous things back then. Sure, he's no Sirtom but my point still stands.

Fuck, I remember that now, I suppose that it's best not having him. Looking back to then really fuels nostalgia, though.

But it might take 10 posts as well. :O

The effort will definitely be worth it. You'll prove to be as epic as gfox.

No, it has been updated. You can now play as Engineer and Medic. Supposedly, when left-clicking as a prop, you'll be in first person, which helps a lot when you're a giant prop.

Ah, great. But how does it work when you're a Medic / Engie?

Medic - Syringe Gun to find the props. Sadly, you can't heal hunters.
Engineer - Build dispensers to heal your allies. Will come in handy but I'd rather play as other classes. However, I did see some Engineers building sentries but I'm not sure if they do anything in PropHunt.

Oh, did they fix the ability to shoot as a prop (sometimes)?

Not sure if that glitch has been fixed but they can shoot when they're the last prop remaining.

And what would the pyros do if you hid in the water? Switch to shotgun?

Definitely.

No idea how good they are playing at the moment. I suppose they are both becoming a bit old by now. Aren't they both almost in their 30's? I wouldn't know any other good German strikers though. I thought Kuranyi was pretty good once, but wasn't he just some sort of 'one day fly' at the '06 WC?

But I think if you commit a big crime at the age of 16 or so, you will have to go to a youth prison anyway and it will be recorded on your... penalty sheet? (not sure what the English term would be).

I think penalty sheet fits as well.

There are some similarities in here as well... If you're a teen and you commit a crime, you might do volunteer work in a poor community or - if it's a more serious crime - spend some time in a youth prison. The problem is that it isn't recorded afterwards - they have the thought that you "thought over what you've done" etc...

It doesn't work like that, IMO. =/

Nah. It's a bit of a problem here as well. I believe youth prison is recorded, but for less serious crimes it's all forgiven and forgotten after you've done your work. The work is never that ... intimidating towards youth criminals since it's usually 8 hours a day for only one week. They're really soft on them. Therefore they usually go back to committing crimes soon and in the worse case they end up in the crime circuit, never to get out again.

Lol :p I know good behaviour might set you free earlier here as well, but it's not like you will have to sit for only 1/3rd of you punishment.

And it isn't even helping around, it's just not getting caught doing anything wrong there. If you sit there all day long, you are behaving well...

Lol. So you could be dealing drugs and murdering people in there, but if they never find out you'll get away with it and can even leave prison much earlier? :p

I always thought people would get mistreated in Brazilian prisons, but sounds like they're not so bad if you are a prisoner there.

A what? Sorry I don't know much about juridical terms. Don't speak Latin either :p

It would be, literally, a "clean body" - it's basically the right to respond the lawsuit in freedom.

Plus, I believe it's Greek, not Latin. Either way, our language is confusing. :P

Oh alright. So you don't have to be held in custody or anything when you got a lawsuit against you?

And I would guess Latin. I thought juridical terms are usually in Latin and you guys are Latin America aren't you?

I thought you would have the death penalty in your country, but 35 years is still a lot. I believe we have the 'lifelong' sentence, but in practice I believe it often means 20 years maybe. You will have to have done something really bad if it's going to be lifelong.

Nah, there isn't death penalty in here. Sometime we think it should have, due to some crimes that are shocking, like throwing your own daughter out of the window is a rage moment (this actually happened). It's a riot when something like this happens - protests, TV coverage, "human beings are disgusting!"... and in about two years, nobody remembers about it.

And yeah, I agree on perpetual sentences. Especially for such crimes.

I'm not really pro-death penalty to be honest, but for such people a lifelong sentence would indeed be justified if you ask me.

I suppose they do that a lot with all the corruptness and such?

Yup. We can't divide the govern in two; govern + allies X opposition. They consist of many political parties, but they are either in favour or against what the government says, respectively.

Oh that sounds a lot like the Dutch system then, and probably many other European systems. We also have many parties, and after the elections the biggest party may join together with a few other parties to form the 'government'. This government usually has the majority so that they can make laws and decisions and the opposition (which are the remaining parties) can't thwart all their plans.

Currently it is a bit messed up here though. Our government recently 'fell' since they came to a strong disagreement about sending more troops to Afghanistan. One party left the government so now they got a minority. New elections will be held here soon, but it seems like right wing extremists are gaining in popularity =/ Even so much that they might win the elections (you might have heard of Geert Wilders?) which is very worrying. But that's another matter.

Anyway, is the system in your country anything like that?

Haha, yeah then you sort of lose all your credibility as a politician.

Even though a few days ago I got my card that gives me the right to vote in this year's elections. It's optional for who is 16-17 years old, but I still want to vote. Maybe I'll find someone who's decent/honest.

Optional? But is it mandatory to vote in your country then after a certain age? Because in our country about 20% of the people who can vote usually don't even show up and people can vote 'blanco' as well if they want to.

Part 2

Just hope I haven't forgotten anything or stopped sentences halfway :p Went through this a bit chaotically.

SPOILERS, in case no one has realised. :P

I felt that when her father died was more emotional, though. That and when he didn't have the oxygen mask on and she saved him.

Heh I couldn't care much for the father either. But yeah it was quite nice to see her meet the real Jake. You knew it would happen, but they did that scene quite well.

I haven't heard complaints about that yet. But I can imagine it would be very irritating for someone who wears glasses already.

It's really bad because the 3D glasses kept slipping while he was with them. You either adjust it all the time, or you have a huge nose to hold both glasses. :P

So he was like touching and adjusting his glasses all the way through the movie? That has got to be very annoying.

Speaking of 3D glasses by the way. I went to Alice in Wonderland yesterday and the glasses I got there were much better than the ones I had at Avatar. They were sort of greenish when you looked straight through them and this time almost everything on the screen was sharp. So they didn't hurt my eyes so much like they did with Avatar. I guess the quality of the 3D movie just depends a lot on to which cinema you go.

Also did they only announce it when you were just about to buy the ticket? That's just lame.

Yeah, that's just Brazil. :)

Even though I still got the regular 50% discount for being a student, it was still really expensive.

Well at you least you got a 50% discount ;) Normally you could about 50% off here if you go in the morning on normal weekdays. For some reason you can not benefit from any discounts here when you go to a 3D movie though =/

Yeah. You can also always use limewire and programs like that. I personally use Youtube downloader though. I heard that was not even illegal because Youtube paid for it or something. I don't know, it's too vague what's exactly legal and what not. Another reason why it's war they can't win.

Right, there's too much to discuss about that, I think there won't be a definite answer of what's legal or not so soon. I just think the artists should be more decisive in this, not the record companies. I mean, it's their songs, not the company's!

Well the companies invest in them and own their rights probably, so they want the money ;) But yeah it would probably be good if artists were clear on their standpoints on this themselves.

No I doubt it as well. How old is he by now? He must be in his 80's or something. He probably won't be touring around the world much anymore.

He's 84 now, and it's possibly his last world tour. If only they didn't put so many concert at the same time... :(

Yeah that's what I thought. It's too bad, but it might also explain the high ticket prices.

Yeah. I heard they might want to reunite again, but only if there is another special occasion. So far there were none yet I guess.

Maybe they could make a tribute to Richard Wright, their former keyboard player who passed away in 2008...

Yes that would be a good occasion. I believe Syd Barrett also passed away in 2006 or so, so they could also dedicate it to him as well.

Also I recently saw a video from 2008 where Roger Waters and David Gilmour met again. They happened to be at the same studio to record some stuff. It was quite a cold meeting though, just some quick talk and they went back to work.

Oh, that might have been very awkward...

Yeah you could see they were a bit uncomfortable. Not so strange though since they also had a camera running right under their noses. I can imagine they didn't want to be too emotional when the whole world was watching.

Ugh! Seriously that song is just... ugh. Is he even singing words or anything? Because it sounded to me like he was trying to sound like a whining cat =/

I think there are lyrics, somehow. Have you ever heard the live version from H.A.A.R.P? That one has no lyrics, I'M SURE!

Nope I have not. H.A.A.R.P is short for one of their tours/albums I assume...?

I'll have to remember this song in case I have another argument about Muse again. I think it sums up pretty much everything I don't like about Muse.

Only the screaming voice, I'd say, because instrumentally it's pretty good.

Yeah instrumentally they are always pretty good, but it's always the singing that turns me off and I think that song really makes it clear what I mean.

I don't like B & H's that much, but Map of the Problematique sounds very good actually. As a matter of fact, I find it the best Muse song I have heard yet by far. I really, really like it.

Yeah, it's a great song, one of their best, IMO. But my top three would be Hysteria. Plug in Baby and Assassin. I'd use them as my argument of why Muse is awesome. :)

I might have heard Hysteria before, but I'm not sure. I have listened to Plug in Baby recently as well. I thought it was alright, but still nothing too amazing.

I can't understand any of their lyrics to be honest :p With most artists I can usually make out a few lines if I don't know the lyrics, but with Muse... can't understand a word.

There are some songs that have a more clear, direct meaning, but some others... well, they just rhyme. :P

Haha really? :p Judging from their titles I always thought they would have very deep lyrics or something.

Did you know that the word soccer was also an English creation? From association football to assoc to socca to socker to soccer. So either term is appropriate according to the peeps who created the English language. :P

Yeah, I knew that. This knowledge is buried within my post history somewhere :P

Of course, this has the more talented stars of the game upping their own performances and with stars such as Landon Donovan following former national keepers Kasey Kellar and Brad Friedel over to the UK to play in the Premiership, confidence is high for team USA.

I would love to see more of the US talent overseas like Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey. They really need to get some experience with the real pros. The creation of the MLS really helped build talent over the past 15 years or so compared to what it was, but it really hit a glass ceiling in the past few years imho.

Well, if they can get exports going again, they will certainly reap the benefits. Donovan will head back to the MLS with some great experience from Everton. He may have struggled with the language, but other than that, he should be good.

Stranger things have happened, but expect to see USA carved onto the winners list before the end of this decade. They showed promise in 2002 and 2006, so why shouldn't they do well at the finals?

If I recall they choked in 06. I really hope to see the team that took down Spain last year rather than the one who lost to the Dutch (even though only half of the starters were there).

Exactly, you've got a chance for some of the less well established kids to make their marks. Brad Guzan is the second choice keeper at Aston Villa and it looks like he's the heir apparent for Brad Friedel at present.

Footballers are too rich, too young, according to Capello. Terry went and had an affair with Wayne Bridge's (now ex) girlfriend, so he lost the captaincy. Now we have to put up with Jar-Jar Binks (Rio Ferdinand) as the England captain for the World Cup.

Really, Ferdinand? I though Gerrard was chosen as the captain, I think a mid-fielder can hold that position better, since they are more active during the game.

Gerrard is the vice captain - Rio is the captain, but was injured and thus unavailable for the Egypt tilt

Either way, I think being the captain only boosts the players morale, so it doesn't matter that much.

Doesn't make him a better player though :(

What team to you cheer for there, anyway? Aston Villa?

Yeah, I'm a long suffering Villain. I did enjoy watching us beat Reading 4-2 today, to seal a match up against Chelsea, the rematch of the 2000 FA Cup final.

Really, why is the American Football called... football? Because of the kick-off? It should be called tackleball or similar.

No, because of Rugby Football having such a similar style of ball, I believe.

Just curious my man, but does 21st Highest B/Per not count as an achievement for you? :P

I know you only congratulate every 5 or 10k medal points, which is fair enough, but I was confused on the B/P milestone.

Well I know how difficult it is to rank up at these heights, but I see 21 as quite a random number to be honest ;)

Top 10/20/25/30/40 etc. I would congratulate. But 24, 23, 22, 21 is a bit much.

Fair enough - I guess the fact that they were coming a little thinck and fast still is an indication that you wouldn't be willing to congratulate them. Still, I'll be going through a drought for a long while now that I'm chasing down the retired bila.

It's good because people have to think before picking their candidates. It's bad because some people don't think before voting. =/

Really? I think voting should be a privilege rather than a requirement. There is no benefit to having people vote when they are indifferent to whom they are voting for.

Hahahaha, it's just for the glory of beating England, then? :P

Yep.

Usually on list per day is the standard to keep things less spammy. Plus, it's not like the LUL is moving too fast to warrant it. :P

Well, if they can get exports going again, they will certainly reap the benefits. Donovan will head back to the MLS with some great experience from Everton. He may have struggled with the language, but other than that, he should be good.

I thought he was trying to stay. Regardless, we need more talent who are willing to play. If an athlete in the US has a choice of what they are going to play they will always go for Amer. Football, Baseball, Basketball. rather than Soccer. There is just little interest in it outside of U-17 leagues.

I can't imagine what our team would look like if we had Anquan Boldin or Reggie Bush streaking down the wing, Brian Urlacher as a fullback, or Kevin Garnett as a keeper.

Yeah, we should. He's the one that would get a stick up his arse - a banstick :P

Naughty.

Yeah, that was just a catchup list for the night before. I did it pretty early in the morning, and made this one just before the time I thought I might be going off for the night, as to maximize the time between them both - I mainly just wanted the one for tonight not to be too long. Seeing as today turned out to be pretty slow, it didn't make any real difference, but if it was a faster day then it would have been harder.

Yeah, but perhaps it's a case that the "also rans" will turn into some decent footballers for you and you will be able to develop the national side. Don't forget, you've got so much more population to choose from and therefore, there should be enough bodies to fill up the NFL, MLB, NBA and the NHL quotient, while leaving plenty of space in the minor leagues and also in MLS.

I can't imagine what our team would look like if we had Anquan Boldin or Reggie Bush streaking down the wing, Brian Urlacher as a fullback, or Kevin Garnett as a keeper.

I'm guessing the first two are from the NFL, while I know who Kevin Garnett is (NBA) I think that he'd be wasted with his massive frame in goal, to be honest.

Yeah, we should. He's the one that would get a stick up his arse - a banstick :P

Naughty.

Not necessarily - if he tried to sound dark and troubled like he did last time, I think we'd have to sit down and have a little chat.

I remember when this place was so active that I had to make two lists in one day so I didn't have to go through many people the following day. That was in 2005 and 2006, though.

What would be that...? :P

Oh just a reference to the 1988 semi finals of the European championship ;) It's when Holland won from West-Germany in a 2-1 victory. Here it's pretty much considered the revanche for the lost final in 1974.

Plus it was at a time when the rivalry between the Netherlands and Germany was at it's high point, I remember a dutch player whiping his ass with a german strip... ^^
Anyway, I'm glad it cooled down to what it is now. A friendly teasing where nobody is hurt. :)

I just wished Löw wouldn't nominate Podolski and Klose anymore. Both play very badly right now, especially Podolski who didn't score a goal for over 1,400 minutes until yesterday...

No idea how good they are playing at the moment. I suppose they are both becoming a bit old by now. Aren't they both almost in their 30's? I wouldn't know any other good German strikers though. I thought Kuranyi was pretty good once, but wasn't he just some sort of 'one day fly' at the '06 WC?

Podolski was born 1985, so no, he's not in his 30's. :P
But yeah, Klose is 32 now.

Kuranyi was pretty good last season and this season as well, but he won't play for germany again as long as Löw is the coach. Kuranyi went home on his own during the half time during a match against russia (they played in Gelsenkirchen where Kuranyi also lives) because he didn't play...

I think Kießling would be a good choice and Müller as well (no, not Gerd Müller, but Thomas Müller :D ), both are pretty young and play great. Müller might be TOO young, though.

My dream final also, except that it would have to be ZWEI - EINS! again ;)

Well, if the final really is Netherlands - Germany then of course the score should be EEN - TWEE. :P

No way! You're not gonna steal the world cup from us again ;)

We'll see. :P
