    I know i'll be back on the EU servers when this goes live and help try get teams going [especially on the french servers] but cant really see THAT much of an increase EU side if im sadly honest. If they have got a new teaming mechanism that WW mentioned before in the works, then they do need to get it out NOW because once GR goes live, i can guarantee a lot of the current players will be using the current popular channels to form teams/events.

    Though after just recently purchasing all the boosters for my EU account, they best save it!
  2. Decent i suppose Just still unsure whether veteran rewards should be cut off now or not or be moved to 6 monthly [or more] veteran rewards from 75 onwards.

    Edit: If anything Spain had looked the more epic team from overcoming the refs leniency which was bad for them, all the fouls and still winning.

    Could you imagine if it was holland that scored the goal in the last few minutes though instead? All the headlines would be about how on earth half of their team werent sent off.

    Refs really do have the hardest job in the world of football.

    World Cup 2010

    It was an incredibly dull World Cup. Lots of very mediocre teams getting through matches by being very difficult to break down. I personally find Spain's football quite dull, I prefer the hectic pace of the premiership.
    While watching teams play the "beautiful game" is always great, how often do you see two teams playing like that and it being close? The only match i can think of like that is the arsenal/barca game.

    Teams like Ghana/England/S.Africa/France know they would be destroyed if they went up against a team like spain with the gameplan of trying to play beautiful and attractive football. They have to play the tactical advantage of playing the ugly route [though i thought that was the dirtiest final ever!] as the neutral would call it, its the only way they have a chance of not being on the losing side of a landfall loss.

    I personally loved the fact that Ghana got so far, even the other "lesser known teams" that didnt quite make it so far all showed in their passion as to how much this meant to them. If you took just a tiny bit of the passion some of those teams had and gave it to one of the many fallen giants of this competition then they would have gone a hella lot further.

    Great world cup i think! For enjoying each match as it is . . . . watching as one team defends like hell and the other goes all out blazing in the dying minutes to try and save their dreams . . . . . now THATS how a knockout tournie should be! Not one to be decided by half time

    Dont half feel sorry for Ghana still though They must feel well gutted.
  7. Hate people who go around stealing other peoples property, no matter what it is.

    Never an excuse to do it and those people that do do it, are often the ones that would go mental if it happened to them.

    Feel sorry for you, i hate it when i lose an item [from theft or just plain lost it] and lose everything on it that i can never physically get back. Like on my current phone i have pics from my nights out and always puts a smile on my face because you remember those moments.

    Priceless moments/memories pics are

    I really hope none of the players use that as an excuse. Their entire overall WC was nowhere near as good as it should have been. If they had put any effort in to their group games, they would have faced Ghana instead of Germany.

    Few more days and they'll all jet off to some sunny private island to "get over the humiliation" that they now feel . . . . . .

    Sorry but i have zero sympathy for them. Thinking they were world beaters when out of 4 world cup matches they only beat slov 1 - 0

    No longer can the Americans taunt us brits that they were above us in the league stage because they just lost to GHANA 2-1 lmao. Great result for Ghana.

    Lets hope England can follow Ghanas example tomorow and hopefully go for another 5-1 victory

    Ghana is one of my "lottery teams" so i have some money on them winning!

    Ghana in the quaters . . . who would have called it!

    You'ld be suprised at the increase in welsh speakers in the last few years. Over penarth/dinas powys side, i'ld say the majority of people here are able to ALMOST speak fluent welsh. Took me back quite a bit because like you said, i too was under the impression hardly anybody spoke a word of welsh.

    Now the welsh national anthem . . . . . . that i am ashamed to say to not have a clue about Except the

    Yup congrats to england in JUST finishing second in the easiest group in the entire world cup possible!

    Did you SEE how much every england fan automatically went in to "we were awesome, bring on the world" instantly? lmao gotta love the english football team fans keeping it real

    Edit: Gratz though on people getting the codes The 3 times i tried i was literally 30 seconds too slow for each . . . . . . and i thought i was pretty quick!
  17. Ok now im going to sound really stupid here today [more so than usual!] but here it goes.

    Today in work i was bored and thought i'ld start a little mini game, something i used to play as a kid in those long car journies. Where you all take it in turns letter by letter to go through the alphabet saying a word that starts with that letter. For example i said lets do countries so would go like this

    Me: Australia
    Person2: Brazil
    Person3: Canada

    etc etc,

    Now when it got to W somebody obviously said Wales however one person was having none of it since we wouldnt allow states and just purely "official countries", which got me thinking . . . . . what is the difference between a state and a country and does that make the UK a country or a mini continent as such since it has a cluster of countries inside it?

    Hey people in the WHOLE WORLD watch the world cup!

    No, in seriousness, this is good. This is a change that needed to be in the game from the very launch of CoV. It'll be interesting to see how the much more abundant hero coffers help the villains.
    Busted!

    Markets came AFTER CoV was released
