In football the goalie is included in the eleven players, the substitutes are not.

Juan Antonio Samovar .... Juan Antonio Samaranch ...

[armandobronca 0]

Juan Antonio Samaranch was not a football player.

From the wikipedia

Samaranch, born into a rich family, studied commerce at IESE Business School. He had been the chef de mission of the Spanish team at a number of Olympic events, before he was appointed as the Government Secretary for Sports by Spanish fascist dictator Francisco Franco in 1966, also becoming the president of the Spanish National Olympic Committee and a member of the IOC.

Also:

Samaranch was a controversial figure as the head of the IOC, receiving sustained criticism from a number of former athletes, politicians, and most notably British journalist Andrew Jennings in a series of books and television documentaries. Samaranch was a senior bureaucrat and (arguably) politician in a fascist regime, and many people found such a background repugnant. According to critics, Samaranch was autocratic and intolerant of dissenting voices both within and outside the organisation, with a culture of secrecy surrounding its decisions. A number of incidents of outright corruption of IOC members occurred under Samaranch's reign, which critics claim was indicative of a widespread culture of favours extorted from bidding cities by IOC members. Samaranch did, in his last years in the organisation, take steps to curb some of these excesses, but it is argued that Samaranch must have been aware of the culture for much of his reign and only acted after media pressure, much of which resulted from the scandals involving the Salt Lake City Winter Games of 2002.

So, no thanks.

Soccer (football for europeans) was already partially implemented in OFP1

The soccer ball has zero gravity and you can kick it by just bumping it.

oh seriously?! man i never though of trying that, hehe i just tested it like a few times shooting it or blowing it far far away with a satchel charge i know totally overdoing it but if thats what it takes

[dinger 1]

The goalie does look a little stiff in his posture -- almost as if he were waiting for a bus.

[Commando84 0]

maybe he is in a animation "waiting for ball"?

Just thinking about the Blog and the interaction with people in Sahrani. I like the postcards, the views on life and the perspective of S. Saharani being this peaceful paradise. Kind of makes you care about it and not want the destruction you know is coming. I think this approach, and possibly some news flashes would be a great way to advertise ArmA on the large scale. Different to be sure.

Thats quite a neat idea, could set up a fake 'News' site and have it linked on wills site. He can then say things like 'im sure youve heard of the recent (linky) news' and just have some mock up news story on the situtation on the island etc..

Meh.. just an idea.

You should have used Colonel Klink's trawler, that nice transparent bluish water and McNool's island in the background instead of that RL pic but nice anyway!
