King of what exactly? Not being as terrible as FF8?
If FF9 is king, then what is FF6? God?

Battle system is glacial though. It is the one FF game which I actively dislike the gameplay.
FF6 has its own share of problems. It is rather annoying that how with all the backlash over FF7's excessive hype, it is FF9 and FF6 that are being held up as being perfect when they have significant issues as well.
FF9 > FF6 > FFX >>> FF7 > FF8

Spanish judge orders 200+ bags of likely doped sportsmen and women's blood to be destroyed. This evidence is from one of Lance Armstrong's doctors, gained from raiding his office. Witnesses say they saw lots of football stars going there from time to time.
The evidence is being destroyed to 'protect their right to medical confidentiality.'
Hmm.

same, i was never huge on rpgs when i was young. i got ff4 for the psp though and am still yet to play it
Ranking FF's may not be your thing.
With Deco's recent doping charges you'd think that more football players are or have been involved. The Spanish Government is doing this to protect the clubs rather than their 'right to medical confidentiality'.

He had 8 as the worst one. Got that right at least.
Ha, to be fair 9 was the first FF game I played so it holds a special place in my heart. 10 is really the only one I'd replay today.

rvy, what are your thoughts on Bruno Cesar? He's apparently joining Zenit in the summer.
Technically good, smart, makes the right decision more often than not. Great passer. Not sure if he'll adapt to Russia though, Brazilians and cold weather don't mix well.
If you can get him for 3 or 4 million €, I'd buy him.
Suarez in the new Liverpool home jersey!

I expected this to be Hannibal
Nevermind got it working.
No, not with them. He should be up there, alone, on his throne.
Forgot to post my congrats message to the Bayern fans here, historic win! Congrats boys. Good luck in the final to both you and Dortmund.
Barca bros, this humiliating loss is great news for us. No kidding. Sometimes when a club is doing a lot wrong it needs a kick in the ass to realize it needs to patch things up. In the case of the Semi Final exit, the bigger the ass kick the better really. Now let us hope the club actually LEARNS from this experience and starts making changes. Vilanova, unfortunately, did not seem to get the message from that 7-0 loss.
Now to respond to some missed posts from the last OT!
Woodenlung, I hope you're doing well bro! That is great news for me about Downpour as exploration is one of my most important aspects by which I can enjoy a Silent Hill (or any horror/adventure game). Too bad the main story doesn't seem as interesting as the side stuff.
The puzzles in shattered memories were pretty poor, right. I never felt scared too bro - other than the fear of dying as I'd have to begin from the beginning of the chase! What I really disliked about Shattered Memories though is that there was very little interaction with the environment throughout the whole game. No notes, memos, etc of interest at ALL. Sure it is about immersing yourself in an experience that is realistic without picking up conveniently placed notes and such, but the stuff that was there to read was boring and pedestrian as hell!
Resident Evil 4? Great taste bro. Resident Evil 4, story-aside, was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had. Ever. I love that game to bits. I only wonder how insanely perfect it would be if it was written well and had a decent story like the Resident Evil Remake (you MUST play that if you haven't!).

I remember when Yannick Noah started a huge media battle when he stated that Spanish sportsmen are doped across all disciplines (cyclism, football, tennis, handball, etc.)
The French government had to intervene. And now that.
Sad from you Spain.

I wonder how deep the doping goes though, you know? Like for instance could Bayern and Dortmund's superiority this year be because of blood doping and stuff? After Armstrong I genuinely wouldn't rule anything out. Not that I'd run around accusing everyone, but I wouldn't rule it out. If he could do it then I can certainly believe footballers can.
But this brings me to the next point: are Dortmund and Bayern players dopped as well ? We know that the German teams enforced rules about youth development to ensure success on the long term but how can we be sure they haven't modified the youngsters' diet to increase blood oxygenation, decrease in lactic acid production in the muscles or sensation of diziness after efforts by regulating sweat temperature ? All of this is possible, and I wonder if some kinds of therapy that may seem innocent to the players themselves actually are the fruit of intense research in laboratories. That would be simply taking advantage of financial muscles to create a gap in sportive performances, yes, but why aren't there more rules and controls to make sure everyone gets the same chances in youth academies across the world ?
Anyway, we need tighter control on whatever is the set of rules chosen to ensure the game remains balanced. The FIFA should at least come with directives. This has lasted too long, you don't know anymore if you can cheer for a team with a clean consciousness anymore.
Absolutely. And if Bayern and Dortmund did indeed dope, I am all for the harshest decisions against them. You don't win a competition thanks to means people cannot have control over. It's straight cheating.

Thanks, yeah it sounds like this one should be fairly cheap( a rarity for us these days). I guess we'll reunite him with Witsel too, might help with getting adapted. Strangely enough, lots of Brazilians play in Russia, considerably more, than say, in the EPL. Being mercenaries is in their blood, I guess.
Not Rio. He is a saint.
In fact I'm pretty sure every team dopes apart from Manchester United.

:lol fuck that would suck. Dortmund and Bayern eliminated due to doping, Barca and Madrid automatically in the final.
Remuntada is still possible. Platini pls.
Whatever works for him. Great player, especially if you can get him cheap.

Can't be all leagues. If so, then why are Russian players always so lazy and have shit work rate?
Barcelona are definitely dopers. And Valdes has all the information, that's why they're reluctant to get rid of him.

So true.
You should see them pre-transfusion, they refuse to even walk.
There have been significant differences in the way Germany and Spain have handled prior doping scandals. Both on a national level and on club/team level. The punishment and desire to move away from doping dominated German cycling throughout the past decade (Telecom, ZDF, Jan Ulrich etc.). The same cannot be said for Spanish cycling, and the Fuentes case has me wondering if it's a matter of mentality altogether and if said mentality also exists in football.
Well of course with a player like Messi, he's always going to have had that skill. But he wouldn't have been a professional footballer without the growth hormones, so even early on shit like that was prevalent you know? Not saying that had an effect at all, but just that physically they needed to make a change.
And then you see Barca pressing the fuck out of everyone with no lack of concentration, or Dortmund able to run all day. It's a bit suspect considering just how much money is in the sport. I assume it would be hard to cover up though as well, taking into account just how many people are at a football club.

If only we could manage to bottle the eternal youth that Arshavin has, then we can rule the world, one baby-faced assassin at a time.
As long as Jones keeps making those faces...I can't not suspect the club of taking some form of drugs before every match!
Liverpool.

Don't be jealous pls.
Also, under Pep you'd have a point. Our pressing this season has been shit. The steroids have taken their toll.

Inter.
Fiorentina Ljajic?! Would surprise me if he moved from there. Definitely won't if they get CL.

My favourite other teams are Liverpool, Napoli, Malaga and Bayern. I don't give a crap if they lose but I like to see them win.

Don't discourage, we wants the Wanyama.
And you are right. Dress, personality... all in all, Lulu is awesome.
Completely agree. I really wish it would have gone on with a new cast, but the same universe. And then concluded a second trilogy with another final of epic proportions.
Thanks for the congratulations. It was really a great game. Personally, I think it did Barca a world of good. They needed a decisive result to instigate some changes. If it was only a 1-nil loss they'd delude themselves into thinking "Messi will fix it next time".
I don't see it as a changing of the guard in Europe at all. But it will change the Barca team for next year. They'll be just as scary as they used to be the last couple years.
