i havent played either one in a few months, but looking at the current records Huka looks more dangerous. of course any game can take any number of strange turns. funny things happen in football!

then we have Mig!

20 minute games huh? theres gonna be a lot of blood sweat and tears in the playoffs.

hey wait, did Beatbox knock himself out of the playoffs?! i was looking at the standings yesterday thinking this was a possibility. wacky! :lol

:lol Nah I wouldn't do that! Actually thanks to my double teams and Sriders unfortunate connection issues you have a playoff spot! Thank them and stop making fun of me darnit! I owe Garrickk some thanks as well - Czech wouldn't have stood a chance in the playoffs.

First round Vs Hayami who beat me by one and tied the other game against Brazil. Looks like I need to get some practice in with Brazil before we battle :D

damn i havent played Huka since season 1. now i get to face the second place team in the first round of the playoffs. :D (when are you free Huka? PM me?)

We had some pretty damn good games iirc, should be fun. I can play tonight around 11-12est if you're free.

20 minute halfs, yikes forgot about that! Hard to feel too safe with an early lead when the game is that long, or out of it even if you fall behind a couple goals. Should be interesting to see how the games play out with these high powered national teams. Going by the bout Fifty and I had last time somebody might hit a 10 spot. ;)

Well it's not that much longer. I just figured that it'd give people more chances to come back. Sure it might make blowouts blowoutier, but since it's only one game we might as well give people more chances to catch up.

Oh yeah I dont think its bad or anything, I like the idea. Plus it gave you the chance to use the word blowoutier. :lol

anyone done the 20 min halves yet?

i dunno. 15 feels a lot longer than those 10 min matches. i think 20 could be pretty big. im down for it though. should be interesting.

Anyone on track to play their game? At least we're all taking our time, and it's not just one pair slowing us down. I just had to bail on my game with Socreges this afternoon....so I'm no shining example, but hopefully games can start trickling in.

Yep, Daigaro and I are set to rumble tonight. Hopefully digital Kahn eats some bad wienerschnitzel and has a gray arrow. :D

Holy shitsticks. 31 shots?

Fifty, I could do wednesday evening roughly between 9pm PST and 1am PST. Maybe more like 9:30-10:00 pm PST.

Thursday is no good, unfortunately

Friday won't work with your hours, I dont think. Could you start a game at 4pm PST?

Saturday, I could start a game as late as 5pm PST. Earlier should be OK if that is better for you.

Sunday is very open, if it comes to that.

k, sounds good.


But not good enough to make it. I feel like the fat girl alone in the corner at the prom.

Shame if you show up soon...but 15 mins is the longest past the scheduled game Ill wait at 1am.

Osorio and Socreges have both gone away. This is the second time Socreges can't play a single playoff game after playing more than 15 regular season games. Tragic. I'm tempted to give them both losses if they don't show up soon to just get this over with.

To begin with, last season there was an incredible gap between the end of the regular season, which I finished up on time (as opposed to many others), and the playoffs (1. i had a bye, 2. people took forever to play just a couple games). By the time I finally had a game, my life was pretty hectic.

This time, wednesday was unfortunate. Let's not project that into the future, although I sort of understand your line of thinking at the time since I wasnt here to explain myself.

Wednesday was a **** up all the way. Im sorry that I wasted some of your time. I didnt forget and was trying to get home in time, but lets just say that due to personal reasons it was impossible for me to make it. As for thursday (yesterday), that was never a possibility. Crazy day.

What times do you have available? 4pm PST friday? Some time on saturday that isnt during the World Cup and is at or before 5:20pm PST (i could start a game at this time)? Morning or afternoon on sunday?

gg Huka (days later). ggs all. thanks, it was fun for the most part.

Good season man, sorry I caught you a bit rusty. Better game next time.

Hmm, things sure screached to a halt here. Again. :(

Viva La Zidane~!

Sorry, even the best commishes have their bad weeks. I'm just going to concede my match with Socreges. Our schedules never worked out..No point in arguing with this, Socreges!

Unless Osorio and Mig play tomorrow I'll most likely just give Mig the win because Osorio never got in touch with Mig. So basically I'll create the two semi final matchups on monday.

SPAIN 3 - ARGENTINA 2

YES! They've done it! Great game, Mig. Somehow you withstood 39 shots to only allow 3 goals. I thought we were headed into PKs, but damn. Good game!

Good to see some action in here!

Hayami - did you save all of your shots for the playoffs? :D Dang.

Spain's been up there in total shots throughout the cup, but these 20 minute halves are doing wonders for me.

That ****er Torres was schooling me in the 2nd half. I'm going to say that only like, 5-6 of those shots were in the 2nd half. The other 33-34 were in the 2nd half/Extra time.

Man...I should have lost that game in ET by like 3-4 goals. I got bailed SO many times.

Torres is the MAN, what else can be said? I did whiff on a TON of those shots. Huka/Socreges won't be so lucky!
 
Wow, congrats on completely thrashing me Socreges. Your sleazy Italians ran over me like they had the game fixed or something (;)). The lag in the second half didnt help as it seemed like everything button response was a half second late, but considering you scored two goals against me in the first half when your connection was lagging I dont have shit to complain about. Hats off amigo, have fun in the final guys. Thanks for the fun league everybody, and to Fifty for holding the fort.
