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.

Virgin Media? :(

Yep - it worked to deposit and for most of my LUL post, but then it decided to quit on me. I had half an hour of trying to get it to work, then gave up and went to the pub. When I came back, it was fine >:(

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?

Also, Virgin Media are STALKERS!

O.o Lock the windows and bolt the doors!

Well it's really meant to bring true talent this way, not be one last paycheck for players who don't know when to hang it up.

Well, that's a fair enough comment. It's whether or not you can prize them away from the Champions League and the glory of playing at the highest level in Europe.

is it true you get 20 points for every newgrounds sticker you buy? if so, if i buy $1000 worth i will be at level 59 or by my calculations it will take 3 years of everyday voting to make it there. im probably wrong but comming to newgrounds for years i decided to finally create a user account.

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

Sure :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.

Yeah, it's only topped by the bad performance the dutch team delivered at the WC 2002... oh wait, you didn't even qualify for that. :P

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.

Jan Wouters was a pretty tough guy, but he's about the only dutch defender I know. ^^

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerd_Müller
Also called "der Bobmer der Nation" (the nation's Bomber) or "kleines dickes Müller" (Small fat Müller).

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.

Yeah, those kind of players are really rare. He had what whe call a "Torriecher", he just seemed to knew where the ball would be after a team mate fired a shot, so he almost always stood in the right place. :D

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.

Anyway I think our best and most bad-ass defender of the past two decades was Jaap Stam. Seriously if I was up against him as a striker, I'd be shitting my pants.

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.

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.

Firefox kept crashing for me, so I decided to make the change as enough was enough.

Before I got Opera, I used Firefox. I thought it was to slow and it was strange as people say that it is the fastest.

There are some issues that I have with Opera - the BBS pages seem to be about 25-30 feet long, with just a massive tail of black below the actual posts, so the scrolling doesn't work properly.

That and my navigation via the back button (drop down) doesn't work properly. I can't drop down the menu to check the pages I have recently viewed.

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 tried to find a translation for that word, but the only thing I found is "to have a nose for a goal". I think it's a bit different from the term "goalgetter".

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.

Heh, I remember when dutch teams where top notch in Europe. Well, at least Ajax and Feyenoord.

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

Well, that's one thing the english team still doesn't know how to do. ^^
I think the german team never lost a penalty shootout at a tournament. And this may be their biggest advantage when it comes to a shootout. Somewhere in the back of their heads the opposing players may think: "Oh shit, a shootout against THEM? We don't have a chance..." and then it becomes a kind of self fulfilling prophecy. ^^

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

At least no other team reached the finals so often, I think.

That's strange. I had that from time to time in the flash portal, but never on the BBS. :/

That and my navigation via the back button (drop down) doesn't work properly. I can't drop down the menu to check the pages I have recently viewed.

Another strange thing. Never heard of this before.
