Whatever might be the polticial reasoning behind the US withdrawal.... Fact is that the US never ever dares to take a step forward, always protectionism of its own rights. Could someone please tell those american politician that this thing is not a kind bargaining game. There is a community of countries that want to change something for the future. Sometimes I seriously ask myself if the US will be the USSR of the future (in symbolic terms)? Â Â I say yes so you will say no!

I bought Soldier of Fortune yesterday, just for fun. I played it for a day and it realy sucks. Online gaming is okay but nothing damm special. Anyway, what a surprise, that SOF II from Activision 100% resembles MEdal of Honour. It is a bit like a stupid comic-film. (with very good AI though). In short, if you like a bit the realistic flair of weapons then buy global operations. AI sucks and the single-player modus too, but the weapons are incredibly realistic and there are tons of them. And multiplayer-levels are great. I only bought soldier of Fortune because it has better critiques in game-mags but they are all wrong as it seems

Please refer to the "2002 Worldcup Final Poll" / and dear moderators, could you lock this one instead. It worked realy well last time

I am gonna create one last poll about the match Germany Brasil, please post there

Jetzt gehts looooos, jetzt gehts loooooooooooos. Go Turkey Go!!! Run Brasil Run!!!

Damm hell everyone has this opinion. I realy dont understand why they dont implement it? You know this is really what I call stupid conservatism! But maybe there are more arguments to it than we know

Dont get the wrong impression by what you read aboutGLOBAL OPERATIONS in the magazines. Fact is that the game has an incredible amount of weapons all to be equipped with laser pointers, double-ammo, whatever. I guess that there is at least 70 weapons, including the newest and haviest AK but also good old small Magnum. There are already 8 different pistols if I remember well (also with silencer or laser pointer if you can afford it). The Ballistic is incredible. I often got shot by bullets that jumped of a wall. The level I played in the demo was one of the best levels I have ever seen in a game. Another advantage is that you must earn the money to buy guns, armor, torches, grenades.... After all I am sad that I bought SOF2, it might be a good game but just doesnt satisfy me IS there anyway I could find someone online to change, someone knows ways to change software?

Poor Seaman, he really didnt see this ball coming. And now the whole world admires Ronaldinho for his excellent goal. But it wasnt meant to be, actually for what he intended to do, the ball came down about 4 metres away. People overestimate Brasil and this you will see today against Turkey. And maybe on Sunday you will for the first time see Brasil against Germany in a worldcup final. If they are as good as everyone sais, they gonna slaughter us. But if they only beat us 1-0 or 2-1 they are not worth all this publicity. Even if spain and Italy were cheated, so what? All this protest wont change anything anyway, everyone knows that FIFA would never change a final result. But what they do is harm their reputation as sportsmen and they harm the reputation of SOCCER. Dont these morons earn enough? Everyone knows that Italy and spain are good teams. They lost but in 2 years they can try it again. I am pretty much sure England and Germany wouldnt have made such corruption accusals, we would have insulted the opponent, maybe, but not this.... Â Whoever is wrong or right I dont care, but it is the reputation of soccer. That is why I think the spanish and the Italians behave like children without self-control. Life is not always fair, but when you are a gentlemen you tell yourself." wait and see next time brothers!" and you leave the pitch with honour!

we need 11 wheel-chairs!

Dont you see how damm TIRED all of those players were? Champions League is 170% faster and better!

Fetish Fool, you are absoutely right about forum / fora n. I meant it as a yoke since not too long ago we had a discussion about it and we counted up all the mistakes you can make with the Plural of words (e.g Pizza).

Now I know why this forum feels so empty BRING HIM BACK OR I WILL TAKE HOSTAGES IN OTHER FORUMS (FORI) "

Yes, SWISS QUALITY RULES !!! Aehm...maybe...well....maybe I should have waited with this statement untill after the match!

That was the expression just lying on the tip of my tongue: "ARCADE"! Pearls of wisdom you speaking there. I feel just like someone playing Playstation (oh damm I dont like those games) or having thrown a coin into computer to play for like 3 minutes!

they certainly do! Bastürk rules

I think we can say that the worldcup favours certain teams concerning their groups and opponents (e.g. England plays already against Brasil in Quarter-finals), but not in terms of corruption. Do you realy believe that the REFS get money or otherwise blackmailed? Why do Refs have to maintain a second job then? I do not realy share the point of view of the Italians and the Spanish! And as Oliver Kahn said yesterday: "well that is soccer, of course the Refs make mistakes just like the players do it, but if they dont count your goal then you tell yourself that in ten minutes you gonna have to shoot another one. Games are not lost because a goal wasnt counted, thats not soccer! Furthermore I do think that the "corruption" accuse should not be blown from Spain and Italy but from an outside party. If the person that feels beeing cheated states it openly, it only sounds ridiculous. In the end, Italy didnt gain anything from their accusal, but ruined their reputation as sportsmen. Finally, (my last statement, I swear! Too many of you underestimate Corea and call it a "newcomer" and "underdog". The last time Corea played against spain in a worldcup (1994) they played 2-2. And Germany with the best team we ever had played 3-2. So please dont you think it should have been "such a weak opponent"

SHOULD WE CREATE A NEW POLL WITH ONLY 4 TEAMS TO CHOOSE FROM?

I am pretty sure, that the goalie would have been able to get the ball (he even pulled his hands back!<span id='postcolor'> Good point there. Two days ago, when I went to bed, this made me think for about 1 hour. Was the whistle so early before the last shot? Could the goaly have heard the whistle, and then just stopped reacting? I dont know! On the other hand, when I was goaly in hockey, I mostly ignored whistles, not because I wanted too, but because of my reflects, couldnt stop them.

Now I got the Israel thread all for myself!!!

First of all it was not a deliberate hand-game since he did not have his hand liften and secondly because he did not see the ball coming, right (he didnt move it either)? Now if he did not do it deliberately there is not penalty KICk, that is a rule. Secondly if a Ref is not too sure and he thinks of the fact in a 50/50 relation then he has to judge in discretion. So once again no penalty kick! There is too much useless wanna-be knowledge involved in the discussions about that game. Please people before you start debating, dont just paraphrase what you read elsewhere!

We are underdogs and we want to stay it! Now they call us "three times world champions" again so they can better bash us. I AM SO FUCKING FED UP WITH THE ENGLISH PRESS!!! I dont care if we deserved to win or not! But damm hell leave us watch the matches in peace. Noone here is arrogant about the fact that we beat the US. Our team sucks, we know that. Even damm BBC starts with the old prejudice again!!!

However many of the teams that are in the finals now are good at offense but crappy at defense (Senegal, Korea, USA..). So I think we might see a few goals <span id='postcolor'> Senegal is a killer, I have been on various soccer-boards and noone of them realy has anyone knowing the team and its strengths. I realy dont know what to expect from those "Speedy-Gonzalez of Africa". But they must be in a bad shape at least once during this cup. So far they havent!

But there is no Allies team!!! So they wont win!! ABout the results...aehm, I dont think we gonna see that many goals in the finals. Goals are rare and often teams build a total defense-wall after they shot the first goal!! England-Brasil 2-1 Germany-USA 2-0

Wow, back into action!!! I like it like that!! The fun part now is that all you gonna say about german soccer today will be used against you after tomorrows match!! Tomorrow at 3 o`clock you gonna watch 11 american players leaving the pitch de-honoured, downgraded, frustrated, embarassed, wounded........ a.s.o

HEY!!! What has happened to this forum? I am doing HARDCORE-FLAMING and dont get a quick ANTI-kRAUT response??? Damm, I hate peace!!
