Damn.


Sorry for not being more into this, guys..I was until the last week or so...Real life just catches up with you (it caught astro after only 1 season!) It's been fun..The 2 seasons especially.

Yeah, this was especially fun, doing it during the real WC and all. But ahhh... we didn't play yet, so it's not over yet!

Ahhhhhhhhh I didnt even get home last night. Our bosses took us on a boat cruise during the afternon where there was free booze. Instead of going up to the school to research, we kept the buzz going at someone's house. I didnt have a mind all day.

Same time tonight?

-edit- actually it would have to be a little earlier, like 10:30 pm EST. Cool?

Since Hayami spanked my ass I gotta root for him to take it all! Can't cry about losing to the champ. Don't let me down! Sorry Socreges - but good luck anyways :D

Fifty - hope all is well in that real life you claim to have :D

I came home -on time-, believe it or not. I rushed home to get our game in, in fact. But I came home to drama. So, an hour later, I came on the computer at approximately 11:30 EST to see if you had resigned yourself to my earlier suggestion, but instead found you angry with me. I'd be the same way. No matter what the reason, this is inexcusable.

Since my schedule is so crazy right now, I've been tempted to just forfeit. But it is the final and I would feel terrible to end the tournament that way. It is not fair to anyone and most importantly not fair to Hayami (or Fifty, the commish). I will continue to try and get a game together (no longer agreeing to times that would be shakey) if Hayami is willing. I also think it is fair if Hayami just wins by default since I have ****ed up twice and frustrated him so much.

If you wanna try a third time (ugh im awful), can you play mornings? I will have wednesday, thursday, and friday morning (any time. i can wake up, play, then go back to sleep..). Friday afternoon and evening as well.

Ahh it's cool, it's just a game. Mornings are awful, since I work 9-5. Is Saturday/Sunday morning not good? Hell, tomorrow night? I can free myself up, so long as you can.

No wins by default!

Saturday morning would be best since it is one time where nothing can go wrong. Could you do 9am PST/12pm EST or is earlier better?

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2006 World Cup Champions...

SPAIN! 2 - ITALY 0

Yes, it was a dramatic game, one marred by lag in the first half (for both sides... somehow). Valeron sent an amazing kick in the 47 minute from outside the 18. Italy was poised for the equalizer on a penalty kick, but once again Casillas came up BIG for the save. (Casillas had 9 total saves for the clean sheet.) A dubious goal in the 84' by substitute Luque sealed the win for los Espanoles!

I actually pressed left (as Totti would), but it went straight. Maybe because of the lag, I dunno. I hate when that happens. :(

Good game, though. It took about 20 minutes for the first shot on goal to happen, but then they came at a regular pace, back and forth. I think I actually hit the crossbar in the first half, but I dont remember if it was a shot or a header or what.

So, congrats! Well-deserved.

I'll have to back out of any future seasons. I'm going to be very busy. Even when fall comes, I'll be going to school full-time. :( It's been fun, though. Thanks to Fifty for organizing everything.

Congrats Hayami.

There won't be a season 3, at least not run by me. I need a break and I'm getting busier. It's been fun. If the interest is there to run another season and someone wants to commish it they can PM me for instructions on how to operate the site.

I'd take over commish duties... if we've got enough interested. Sucks to see Astro, Socreges, and you gone, Fifty--you guys are among the best. And so long as I don't get banned during the season again I could handle the duties just fine.

Congratulations! I was eliminated by the champion. A victory for me as well :lol

I'm definitely down for another season and can be your sidekick co-commish if needed :)
