My aim nick is "theEconMASTA". Hopefully Srider, Rorschach, and Daigaro can all get in contact and play with me tommorrow. I should be online at maybe 10am and I will be in and out until probably 3pm. So just let me know when you guys are good to go. The earlier the better for me and I imagine the servers will actually work.

Thanks....I know that game must have been heartbreaking. I finally seem to be playing OK......if only I could take the first third of the season back.. Anyway, that was a pretty thrilling game. Lots of good runs on both sides, it really felt open. Considering what shit Ronaldo had been playing like prior to tonight's two games, I was surprised to see him get that goal. I guess he was just due. He's no Iaquinta, that's for sure.

Damn, probably just missed ya. We got a couple gaffers in Lobby 5 right now if you're still around.
Alright, I've seen many of these folks post but do not know anything about your plans to play your games. They have to be played today, don't forget. If I missed a post where you scheduled the game for today, no worries as long as it gets played today it doesn't matter:
FC Barcelona (kpop100) vs. AC Milan (Socreges)
FC Bayern München (FMT) vs. Valencia CF (Miguel) (Srider PMed me his game w/ FMT is scheduled for Tuesday b/c of conflicts but I have not heard about this game)
AC Milan (Socreges) vs. FC Lokomotiv Moskva (sefskillz)

If anyone who has a game against me is around today let me know. Either here or on aim (Mrjellybeanct). I've got a bunch of work to get done so I should be around for the most part looking for a break.
I can't explain this roll of mine. I was getting bitchslapped every game....Just a couple days ago I was assuming I'd lose. Then Ronaldo tied his magical boots up and came to town. #2 in scoring with 9 goals...(8 of which in the last few days) You had a nice goal there with Del Piero's header.

With a team like Real you really need to just shoot a lot because with their talent they are going to do some things that some other guys just can't do.
And Fifty and Astro, submitted my stuff so let me know if there was anything missing. I think I got it all in there though.
And finally, does anyone else here use Comcast or is WE just laggy way too much? It definitely changes the play of the game sometimes. I just want to know if it is Konami's fault or Comcast. Because I have played my games on two different connections (both using Comcast) and the lag can be pretty annoying at times.

Well as long as it's scheduled for early next week it's fine (this is what FMT-Srider did). What I don't want to have people just saying "oh we'll play the game some time next week hopefully" after the deadline has passed (not saying you're doing that, but just want to make clear that if it's impossible to get in by the deadline, be sure a firm time is scheduled for early in the week), or even worse people saying "my schedule is just crazy, I'll get them played soon I promise!"
Also, people who have busy schedules such that they can't get in three games a week should really take advantage of the fact that the schedules are released on Friday and the deadline isn't until the following Sunday and try to schedule those games immediately at times they know they will be free within the next ten days.

not a problem brutha. i know ill see you soon. we still have a week to do this anyways.
yeah i should be around late night (after 12AM EST) Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. i have time in the late morning early afternoon too. i might get in a few games now.
ill check back here late night and post when im logging on to play. usuall GAF meetup time works for me these days.
Hayami said:
was this all in one sitting? one thing you can both try is shutting off the PS2 and just rebooting and loggin on again. that worked for Asto and i when we tried to connect like 6 times in a row one night.
otherwise try a different day if there is time. im sure you'll be able to connect eventually, i hope.
Alright, time to give out some Midseason Awards since most people are at the midseason (minimum six games).
Top Striker
Vincenzo Iaquinta
The man is just lights-out. Ten flipping goals in six games, making up over 80% of Udinese's offense. Now that's dominance.
Top Keeper
Sergey Ovchinnikov
Four Clean Sheets in six games. Along with the Lokomotiv defense, he has kept the team in the Division D race. With his propensity for shutouts and awesome ponytail, not someone any team would want to see in the playoffs.
Dirtiest Player
TIE: Ferrari and Jermaine Jenas
Ferrari has accumulated two red cards, while Jermaine Jenas, "the baby-faced assassin" has picked up two yellows and a red. The battle is sure to heat up when games get more intense as the playoffs approach, but these two look like they'll be the pacesetters the whole way through.
Top Team
TIE: Newcastle United and Real Madrid
That Magpies and Blancos (as fifty likes to call them, or Galacticos as I like to call them). Newcastle have had a solid run to start the season and are certainly looking forward to a matchup next block vs. likely opponent AC Milan to see if their Championship dreams are but a mirage. Real have come on very strong after putting Ronaldo on a strict diet. It's very likely we'll see AC Milan and/or Real in this spot at the end of the regular season but Newcastle's enjoying the ride. Dark horses are Lyon, Udinese,and Manchester United, but of course with the playoff format almost everyone has a real chance.
Hard-Luck Team
AS Roma
Beatbox has three 1-goal losses, and only one blowout loss in his eight games, but is the only player in Conference I without a win. Odds say the luck will normalize and he will pull out several wins in the second half and make a serious run at the last playoff spot.

Boom! Made the list twice. The chatter in AS Romas clubhouse is on the upswing as the media has assisted in lifting morale throughout the team.
Ferrari's comments after hearing of his shared award - "That nancy boy JJ better watch out for my tilted crane kick. I'll kick him. Fo Rills."
Cassano - "Get the hell out of my way - I gotta go."
Totti - "The enemy will never win if the enemy can't see."
Mancini's special friendships will continue to make the opposition uncomfortable to be on the field with him.

Yeah, I had the problem with Osorio at one point and we were able to correct it like that, so I figured this would be the same thing. But here, we've tried on separate occasions at different times, re-booting each time, and we've still got nothing. It's been a real bummer.
The final deadline for week 4-6 games is thursday at 11 PM eastern. That includes
Socreges/Kpop
Socreges/Sefskillz
FMT/Srider
PM either commish if you are having problems reaching someone, if they're not expressing interest to play, or if there is a mutual problem that is beyond your control getting in the way of the game(s) being played. We do have backups ready to join the league so don't just assume we'll save your spot forever if you're not getting the games done.
