beats me... but our Coach has made more weird decisions this tournament, I'm sure he's getting fired too.

anyways, yeah portugal was better and deserved to win.

lets see for WC2006 in germany! I heard that german coach dude didnt take up the offer to coach the national team?

LMAO!

@Def: yes I heard it to, but let us wait ... there is still no decision !

Agent Orange, that's a nice picture! but I can't understand what the guys on the left are doing!

Time to get the cup!!!!

hahaha fucking great Greece!

congratulations!!!!

what a surprise!

I hope Greece win the final, although I can't see them beating Portugal. Portugal have got better and better as the tournament has progressed and I can't envisage them falling at the last hurdle. Well done to Greece though, they've beaten Portugal, France and now the Czech Republic. I told you all that they had potential!

Agent Orange: That picture's good but an English tabloid did a better one - they superimposed handbags onto the hands of the Argentinian players! I'll try and track it down and post it.

__________________

Portugal will play great, but Greece will make the goals !
that's the tactic of Greece, and it works ! I am really surprised about this final. In think it would be nice if portugal woulb be the winner, because they play at home, but it would be nice too if greece would win this because nobody thaught that they are in the final.

Hellblaster - 666, you are going to to watch the final in portugal ?
Or you watch it at television ??

__________________

Unfortunately I'll watch on TV,cause there was
too much demand for the tickets so there weren't
any.The only way was to get to Portugal and then
try to find tickets there and there wasn't any real chance of
finding.

I think we'll lose tonight( I say this cause everytime
I think we'll lose we win and everytime I think we'll
win,we lose).

If we win I'm afraid the whole country will be set on fire!

you guys deserve it, i like it when the underdogs win

*nods*

agreed, this EC finally put Greece on the soccer map, Portugal was lucky countless times, I hope you guys humiliate them

you only said this because Portugal had beaten Holland !

__________________

no, because portugal are a bunch of lucky bastards

they where lucky against England when Rooney was taken off with an injury, I'de rather see us play against England then against the host country with a home whistler. we even got a Swedish guy to ref Holland - Portugal, what the hell where they thinking? (I know really, but don't tell me...)

so now both Holland and England where screwed by a ref.

well at least the Gonzales Ref guy was sent home by the UEFA

I just don't think its well deserved, Portugal doesn't really play that well and where lucky all the way, thats why Im rooting for Greece, they never achieved anything in soccer, so its kind of a new thing for them, it would be cool if they win, and a shocker!

oh, and don't you start you silly German without a coach

But another german coach could win the cup tonight !

you had to mention the coach didn't you! at least the german team is shit!

remember south korea and guus Hidding at the world cup last time? that was a DUTCH coach big deal, its still the team that does it!

I see, the best team can beat the greatest players

Greece plays as a team, not as a bunch of ego-trips, thats what got thjem this far

I was at the local pub with some Greek folks from the local Greek restaurant, they asked us over for Raki and Ouzo after the game friendly folks those greek folks, gotta love em!

here's to Greece, the new european champs!

this is exactly how the game image was!!!!

__________________

true, he should get his ass of the pitch if you ask me

I wonder who the next coach is gonna be.

i hope cruijff , but he won't do it. I think van Basten has a big chance of getting the job

__________________

what about Neeskens, Hiddink and Van Hanegem himself?

I hope for Van Basten though... or ''El Salvatore'' Cruyf, but he's not gonna do it, he's won everything there is to win in his days. (14 prizes as a coach too..)

my dream team

G:Buffon
LD:Lizarazzu
D:Campbell
D: Desailly
RD:G.Neville
RM:Beckham(awesome passes...forget the penalty)
M: Deco
M:Zidane

F:Rooney
F:Baros

Havent thought of a nightmare team yet...but definetly wil feature seerdof and totti

__________________

Hahahaha! You could throw David Beckham into the mix also - surely the most overrated footballer the world has ever seen.

__________________

yeah, then you're done

but you should have picked Bulgary instead of Spain, since Spain has some decent players in it!

you where lucky against Holland, but hey, at least nobody won so no hard feelings it just showed how bad both countries did this tournament, at least we're not the only big countries that fucked up, look at england and france... and fucking italy! from the big soccer countries Holland didn't even do that bad, though everybody fucking hated the way we played. our match against the Czechs was our best and we lost it because we where fucked by our own coach and the ref Gonzales(who got sent home by the UEFA)

our coach has been fired though, and the german coach resigned right? looks like where in the same boat, ya silly german!

for all soccer fans:
http://metaltabs.com/forum/showthre...9510#post149510

I don't know if you are interested but ... this game is fantastic.

__________________

doesn't look bad, but how's the gameplay? kinda like the FIFA games?

no, this game you can't compare with FIFA. You play only ONE player. So it's real teamplay. It's a game like no game before!

__________________

oh wait, so you really have 22 people playing at the same time?

sounds pretty cool! how does it work with skills and stuff? I mean if your a slow defender you're not going to have the ball a lot right?

hehe no ... not 22 players at the same time, that would end in a choas ...!
matches will played 6 on 6 , that means 6 players each team (5 on field, one keeper). When you are new to this game you will have real problems to understand it and to get the ball often but when you play it a bit you will understand how it is working. Every player has his favourite position and u get the ball a lot. And when you play keeper you hope that the ball is far away from you !
A match goes 30 mins. The rules are nearly perfect ... offside, penalties, freekicks,corners, goalkicks ... everything is in it . But the community is a bit small, but we have a few clans (10-12 I think) and we play some tournaments. My team won the IOS premier league one month ago ! And we play this year a worldcup at the first time !
http://www.iosleagues.com/
I'am in team germany and my nick is Craig, but I think it is necessary to register to watch the team but you can watch the currently standings.

The gamehandling is quite easy: With the arrows (or W A S D) u move your player, with the mouse you look around ( and it's aimint to shoot, look up, you will make a high shot. look down you will make a low shot) Mouse1 is for shoot, mouse2 is for pass, both mousebuttons together is for powershot and diving header. then you need a button for jump, takle and trap that's it.
If you played it, you will learn to dribble, to curve the ball and to score wonderful goals !

__________________

Germany still got no new coach! No one will do it because the next worldcup is in germany and they won't get blamed!

__________________

ROFL can't blame them!

we don't have no new coach either, but he just resigned, so its gonna be ok, I hope for Marco van Basten or 'El Salvatore' Cruyf.

I gotta check out that game, sounds fun.

Germany talks about Hiddink!

__________________

Hiddink

yeah he did well with Korea but I don't think he can get our players to work together, simply because they don't respect the coach.

they look up to guys like van Basten and Cruyf, so I guess they can get them to play as a team.

Euro2004 was really crappy, only game we played well was against the Czechs, the first half, the rest was shit.

germany played not better :/

__________________

I agree, we where both crap, hence the 1-1... that was really crap for Holland haha, but hey, we'll get a chance to do better at WC2006 in germany, I'll definetly go and see some group matches!

I do it too, I think! Maybe I meet you xD! maybe at the match Holland:Germany !

woah, its Kshitish!

don't bitch about van Nistelrooy you fuck, he did score four times + a penalty

I don't understand why figo and van nistelrooy ??? Both played a really better tournament than beckham!

__________________

You speak the truth. Only Raul can compare with Beckham for an amazing tournament of underachieving drivel. But at least Raul can take penalties...

__________________

and Pauleta ! He played a bad tournament too I think!

__________________

i find most of the real madrid & man utd players overhyped

yes, that's true! a player make one real good game in one real important match and he's immediatly a superstar.

__________________

Real doesn't play as a team.

Manchester does.

thats a big difference, Real is just a bunch of the most expensive players walking around on the field

true, true ...

__________________

Well, they used to, but nowadays they're losing the team spirit they had a couple of years ago. I think the sale of Beckham (even though he's over-rated) was the trigger - the rest of the team saw that the team is gradually being dismantled (Keane doesn't play as much, Giggs is getting old, Butt is getting sold) and they couldn't cope. It's fucking brilliant!

Beckham has a hot wife.

She's a skinny fucking dog! She could do with a good pan of Scouse down her for a start, and then she needs to get the delusions of pop stardom out of her uni-cellular brain. Good Lord, she is the least attractive woman in Britain.

Well Jordan isn't technically a woman - she's a big lump of plastic. Ugly plastic at that too, so I can see how one could rate Posh as marginally less ugly. They're both kennel-dwellers if you ask me.

Anyhow, the new season starts in 4 weeks! Benitez is going to lead Liverpool to the top of the European tree this season. He's a great manager and if he can't motivate this Liverpool squad then nobody can!

BLS: I didn't know you were such a fan of the Spice Girls!

but still, he didn't play that good, just luck!!

Roy Makaay is like much better, he always scores...!

He should be in the dreamteam, J. Stam played very good as well in the european championships...

the rest of the team was like shit.

Hope during the world championships, holland has a better soccerteam by then.

I hope that too for the germany team !
still without a coach! xD

Fuck!Did you know that Olympiakos
got Rivaldo?

At least there is hope!

I heard Jurgen Klinsmann's name being linked with the job.

__________________

Yes, that's true. Today he arrived Germany to talk about it. but he's an unexpierenced coach I think. Don't know if he is really the right man for the job!

davids and overmars also kicked ass

I like the Denver Broncos

True. I hope he gets the job

Hahahahaha!

has the player of the current season been decided?????

__________________

Yes, yes, yes! Pre-season is well under way and there are only three weeks until the start of the Premiership. Liverpool are going great up to now with 2 friendly wins out of 2. Cisse scored two against Celtic last night and looks to be a scintilating player - the rest of the Premiership had better watch out!

__________________

Overmars quit today as a proffesional footbalplayer

__________________

He's only 31 as well. Surely he's a got a few more good years left in him (he can come to Liverpool!)?

__________________

Germany has a new coach now: Jürgen Klinsmann.
He get help by Oliver Bierhoff who will work as team manager.
These are two unexperienced guys, don't know if it was a good decision. :/

__________________

Finally they've got someone to blame
after the next world cup ends!
I wonder what Klinsmann was thinking!

PAOK will play with Maccabi Tel Aviv or Helsinki
in the qualifying round for Champions League.
I think we'll probably qualify,those two teams aren't so good.

Hey John you're playing with Banik Ostrava.
It will be difficult for you to qualify.
See you in the group phase!

__________________

germany had only one way to qualify for WC2006 and thats HOST IT! hahaha!

we have Marco van Basten as a coach! haha hell is gonna break loose here at the first upcoming game!!!! van Basten is a legend!

shame Johan 'El Salvatore' Cruyff doesn't want the job though

I think we're playing AK Grazer from Austria. They won the double there last season. Either way, see you in the group stages!

__________________

really?I wonder why I thought it was Banic Ostrava!
Anyway good luck

The Bundesliga season just started today and the old winner Werder Bremen won their first match! But I hope any team get the cup but pls not Bayern München!
Do you hate it too if there is a team in the league who wins the league "too" often (like Bayern München or Real Madrid)? that makes everying boring ...

__________________

Yeah, pretty much everybody in England hates M********r U****d. But, as far as I (and my dad) can remember, they've always been hated whether they win the league or not.
