2110 BC dropped into fatwreck's mailbox..

Anyone following the EC soccer?

[Dauphin]

Yep, and I'm top of the prediction thread in the OT. 7 out of 8 correct results, 3 out of 8 exact scores, so far.

[Dauphin]

Bump.

Don't want it falling off the 5 day threshold.

[Andydog]

It has been a while actually. Who has the turn?

so fatwreck has the game...

[Andydog]

ah yes, forgot he was away.

I see that Holland got beaten by Croatia. What happened there guys???

[McMeadows]

So that's what happened? We were to play Tsjech Republic, but they were disguised Croatians...

The coach has made the most stupid substitution ever made in soccer. With 2-1 in our favor he thought to take off our best man at the moment (Arjan Robben, bought recently by Chelsea). Untill that moment Holland was making the most pressure. A defender for the attakcer Robben more or less invited the Tsjech to attack.
On top of that, the referee sent off a Dutch young defender with a second yellow. Nedved was barely touched. Moreover, van Nistelrooy was denied a penalty, allthough he was wrestled to the ground within the 16 metres. Dramatic. I've been in a bad mood since...
Now Germany will beat Tsjech Republic, who have allready qualified for the next round and will make not a lot of effort to win. They'll try to avoid yellow cards and all the best players will be spared.

game on...

[Fatwreck]

finally back on track...

Turn played.

McM. Just don't take it out on me OK?

/me fears for his fledgling empire.

[McMeadows]

Miraculously we made it to the quarter finals. We'll have a tough game against Sweden (fatwreck) tomorrow. Untill now all favourites seem to loose (Italy, France, Spain, England... all out)... I think Sweden has the better team.. ...

turn played and sent earlier this evening

[Fatwreck]

sent to sixpack

[Andydog]

That's the problem with soccer. Too random.
