Returning to the point, I do not think we need yet another forum, as we have far too many of them already. I don't even like the SHIV forum.

You'd rather see WW2 refought in the soccer area in numerous threads all over the board? :D

Seriously a World cup Soccer sticky thread would probably be all we need.

:lol: Yes, everyone should be forced to stand impressed with my awesome aptitude for tactical command.

Not to take us too far away from course, but my problem with the SHIV forum is that nothing of features or technical data has been announced. All we know is that a game is in development. This generally acts like a magnet for everyone with a gripe or half-baked idea. What you end up with is a board with a vitual neon sign that says 'Flame Here!'

None-the-less, sticky the football stuff. Good idea.

THATS IT ! ! ! ! I just monitored 2 days of the the NFL draft and I now I have to hear you call that silly girly man sport FOOTBALL ! ! ! ! ! Knute Rockne is doing backflips now !

:-j :-j :-j :-j :-j :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well as i'm sure the Euros will explain soccer is indeed a ball game played with the foot. In fact much moreso than NFL Football.

Well, a sticky football thread would need a radio, of course. Here it is:
Football radio fc.45 from Berlin/Germany brings you football songs from all over the world on 24 hours 7days a week, yes: it is a 24/7 football radio!
On the start page you can find a nice collection of football album covers which are worth a look, football Zeitgeist in a time capsula.

Life is hard, Kamerad/Comrade.
Not always the best team wins.

Thus, apart from football voodoo dolls, we would probably need a chapel that meets the spiritual needs of the desperate football fan.

YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE
“When you walk through a Storm.
Hold your Head up high
And don't be afraid of the Dark.
At the end of the Storm
Is a golden Sky
And the sweet silver Song of a Lark.
Walk on through the Wind.
Walk on through the Rain.
Tho' your Dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on
With Hope in your Heart
And you'll never walk alone.
You'll never walk alone!�

***

Abide with me
“Abide with me - fast falls the Eventide.
The Darkness deepens Lord with me abide.
When other Helpers fail and Comforts flee.
Help of the Helpless. O abide with me…�

The organ in the chapel would be played by Chief Inspector Dreyfus.

Tribal !! Its bloody warfare by another name :o

...So I can't make fun of Joey Harrington in this forum? :dead: (now currently working at McDonalds.... :up: ...now that he has free time.

OOPS, wrong football, sorry :|\

PS, Go Brazil :-j :-j :-j in World Cup'06
:/\k:

Don't worry if the Euros and Latins get their soccer forum/sticky thread you know Neil will oblige NFL fans come this fall.

No, no and NO. Leave it in general...however AFL is a different matter :|\

AFL?

Australian Football League or as we call it, Aussie Rules.

http://afl.com.au/

But it could be another type of sport. :-?

Ok, time to grab the ball again.

“Brazilians are either footballers or transvestites!�
“How dare you! My wife is from Brazil�.
“Oh really? For which team does she play?�

How long takes a football match between Colombia and Jamaica?
Not a minute, the Colombians snort the white lines and the Jamaicans smoke the grass.

Why does the Turkish team never end a game with all of its players?
As soon as they get a corner, one of them opens up a kebab shop.

Comment on "doping in football":
"Doping in football makes no sense. The players need the stuff�.

Why has the world cup 2006 to take place in Germany?
If they had to qualify, the Germans could not participate.

Sign reading at the Arnhem zoo I visited on Labour's day on Monday:
.Slecht ter been, Stoel te leen".
My conclusion: it must be an old Dutch football saying.

Soccer should be forbidden, or atleast let the clubs themselves pay for police protection of the general public. Why should the tax payer be good for that, is their private soccer party, no more no less.
What you think will happen when I call the police and tell them I need 5 platoons riot police because I am having a subsim party ??? hahahaha
