Actually, at home while I wait, I fortify myself with a tot of Laphroaig. Just to tide me along you see.


I'll have to be content watching the Euro 2004 game between Portugal and Holland...with one eye on the email in case the DD ready is posted on the forums

I was all beefed up for a good Euro 2004 until my two teams (France and England) got the heave. Sort of lost it's lustre after that!

As far as money is concerned, not as rich as I would like to be. Unfortunately I still need to work. Am rich in other ways, however. A happy husband is a good thing, even if it means only seeing the back of his head staring into a computer screen for days and nights on end.


Umm...I dont wanna be too straightforward or anything, but...umm....can you guys adopt me??!!

Yeah a bit strange the major teams (Italy,Spain,England,France etc) are out when you would have put money on them being in the competition a bit longer.Oops forgot Germany as well..

Lowland, you're of the same mindset as me! That's why I gave up watching, France didn't seem to want to win and England played so well, to see them both go was just one step closer to a coronary for me.

Personally I'm waiting till the first issues are ironed out, I don't think that will be a very long wait all the same.



I'd considered doing this, as well, but...I'm just too darned impatient..I'll surely hold off PBEM until a patch or two, but, the game's a must have. From the manual to the practice games, I want to jump right in.

Exactly that would put all the rest of the teams off.By playing crap we are lulling all the other teams into a false sense of security just waiting for the right moment to strike

Obiously the Scotts are the most optimistic people on earth. At least the Russians have a relistic view of things. There's an old soccer joke....

A Brazilian, a Brit and a Russian go to see God....

<Brazilian> Lord, when will Brazil win the World Cup again?
<God> Next year.
<Brit> Lord, when will England win the World Cup?
<God> My child, you will not live that long.
<Russian> Lord, when will Russia win the World Cup?
<God> My child, even I will not live that long.

AGREED: SOCCER actually use feet as an intrinsic part of the game, more so than football.
AGREED: More people globally watch/play soccer than football

However, I've never been one to value ANYTHING on the basis of how many other people watch/play/read/eat something. Example: More people watch AMerican Idol than the History Channel.

While soccer isn't my cup of tea and I much prefer American football, I don't feel compelled to somehow denigrate soccer and it's fans, nor self-deprecate myself and my fellow ugly Americvans as to how inferior our tastes are as compared to the more refined tastes of the rest of the world.

'nuff said?

Not trying to start a football war...mostly just an overdose of caffeine and an underdose of WitP wearing down by defenses.

As to my own predelictions, recently I have found that downing a fine single malt is the best - maybe the only - way to follow the travails of my own favorite team, the NY Giants....but with the new season coming up, hope (once again) springs eternal....

Keeps getting thicker.
If it is not out by tomorrow at 300 PM then there is no way for me to get it before tuesday.
I'm going off to Santa Fe with the missus.
I'll check out the Bataan museum, and get a better pic for my thing.

Geez.... I've been lurking on this (and several other) game sites for years, and it took the EXCRUCIATING pain of this interminable wait to bring me out. I've been wargaming for 34 years and computer wargaming for as long as there's been home computers, but I've NEVER wanted a game to arrive as badly as I want this one.

BTW, Tasker ain't bad, but give me 16 year old Lagavulin anytime.
