Yes and in four years you will tell me that there is another world cup for us. There is something wrong with it. Therefore my conclusion is first winning the fourth one and in four years getting the fifth one with the power of the twelfth man.

Back to CTP2 I considered an advance say - football, once you discovered it you can build football arenas and when you have a certain number of stadiums you get a probability of x to organize the world cup.

Korea need it in the match for rank three.

BTW: Locutus you returned a little bit to early from Asia, the final is not over, yet. Yes now we all know what you actual wanted there.

As i see in TV it is better he tries to be president rather than coach now
Yet Korea's capaign was really impressive!

Congratulations, Martin!

PS: I gave wrong info, Italy just have 3 world cups and not 4.
Brazil is the only four times champion.

Centrifuge I am just glad you haven’t called it soccer. It is something we English get a bit mad about being that your American football is just an off shoot of the English game of rugby.
( the main difference being you can pass forward and in American football and you get padded up so you can get hurt.)

and go Germany

[centrifuge]

Big Mc, Do you mean that it's not called soccer? I always just assumed that America was right and that the rest of the world was wrong J/K

Rugby, is a very fun(and tiring!!) game, I've played a little of it(very little), with a club at my university. I agree that when American football was introduced, it probably was greatly influenced by Rugby. Nowadays, however, U.S. Football, is an entirely different sport with a completely different set of rules. Comparing the two is kind of like comparing CTP2 to Civ3 only not as closely related.

As far as injuries in American Football, they are numerous and widespread. Remember, that those pads not only allow a person to get hit harder, but also to hit harder. There are constantly people becoming paralyzed and at times even dying. I once received a mild concussion, and still have a good sized scar on my knee just from my high school football days (State Champions Baby ). Call Rugby a tougher sport if you want (it may very well be) but I couldn't imagine playing football without pads.

Also, just out of curiosity, isn't baseball an offshoot of Cricket? I know very little about cricket, so I can't make a fair comparison.

Sorry to disappoint you Martin, but Germany has special memories for us, so we'll take the next one home See you in Berlin though

BTW: Locutus you returned a little bit to early from Asia, the final is not over, yet. Yes now we all know what you actual wanted there.

I wish it were true Martin, but Asia's very big... I wasn't even in the right time zone (although those timezones still were a hell-of-a-lot better than the one we're in now). I'm afraid I didn't see a single match while I was there, on tv or otherwise

Assuming you qualify

$^@%!^@&*!

(that way we can say we beat the world champs 5-1 )

Hmm, ordinarily I would be for Brazil, but that's an interesting way to look at it. That way we could say we beat the world champion with 5-0 And IIRC we beat you with 2-0 not too long ago

I'm with Pedrunn - go Brazil! some of us haven't forgot the war(s) and the shrapnel in my leg gives me real jip in the winter!( )













[NOTE: this a sick joke sort of inspired by the odd monty python scene]
Hmmmmm.......I think we've matured into a good football nation, i don't think we'd be scared to take on the Netherlands next time, and win

Do mean you mean you can bet your ragged socks, because your team plays like ragged socks. I am afraid Pedrunn that this is not enough to make your team.

Keep this in mind Pedrunn. By the way congratulations to rank two in this tournerment.

Maybe because Brasil won enough titles already.

Yes football came already to Apolyton.

I'am just afraid that if we start raising the bets it may cost me really too much.

just remember football was invented in England and so was rugby so you know something we have to be right.
