Can anyone take over Denmark for me? I am just not enjoying this game much and need to return it to Gamefly. I was going to keep it and pay for it, but I am not "getting" this game and it's no fun losing every game 3-0. The controls just feel very sluggish and "delayed" to me when compared to playing any of the ProEvo/WE games.

Sorry guys...I gave it a shot.

Aw Jack! Give me a chance to at least play a few games against you too boost my record a bit:) Kidding!

Sorry to hear you're not "feeling" this game. It definitely takes some getting used to if you're coming over from the PES camp. If you want I'll play you in some exhibition friendly type games and I'll give you some pointers here and there. Sure I'm not the best player in teh world but I can hold my own. I know how you feel though cause I took a long hiatus from soccer games and when I came back I felt like my fingers had become retarded. Let me know. I'm free pretty much all weekend.

Important League Info
Seen as it looks like overall interest in the league has run its course I'm suggesting that we either end the regular season and call it a day OR have the top four teams play a single elimination playoff series according to the current standings. If everyone else is OK with this then we'll have the following match-ups (see below) that need to get played whenever you can get to it. Congratulations to the teams that made it into the post season.

Probably the easiest way to do this would be if the post season teams all figure out a time when they can play their games together and that way the final and third place game could get played right after.

Thanks to everyone who joined and competed. It was a lot of fun.

Semifinals
Game A
RobVarek (Slovakia) v. FB (Switzerland)

Game B
Macca (Rep. Of Ireland) v. TheTruth (Bulgaria)

Third Place Game
Loser Game A v. Loser Game B

Finals
Semifinals Winner A v. Semifinals Winner B

The winner gets to imagine themselves holding aloft the following trophy in front of 200,000 screaming fans.

FabBastard, I'll be on tonight after 10:30 or so if you want to get our game in.

Macca, when do you want to get our game in?

Hey Rob... sorry I dropped off the radar there for a bit. How about either Tuesday night or Thursday night?

Hey Truth,

I'll be online tonight after 10pm EST if that works for you. I've been playing lots of Winning Eleven on the PS2 recently so I'm ripe for the taking!

I should be good to go around 10:30 est...if kids cooperate. I've been playing a lot of top spin, so at least you've been playing the same sport!

Oh, and you are DrMacca on xbox live correct? Just making sure as I didn't see your gamertag in the first post.

Semi-final result in:

Bulgaria 1 Rep. Ireland 4

Trappatoni's plan to send a keg of Guinness to the linesmen and referee worked as the Irish lads triumphed on a rain-soaked pitch over Bulgaria with more than a few questionable refereeing decisions.

Good game, Hogz. I need to go rent Top Spin!

Good game Macca. I knew I was in for a rough time coming in and you took advantage. That second half was brutal. I definitely need to work on my pushing and run you over techniques.

See you online with Top Spin.

After the Rep of Ireland's thrashing of Bulgaria (sorry Truth) its going to be Macca's irish heading into the finals to play against either FB (Swiss) or Rob (Slovakia). I'll update the main post as soon as the final semi-final game between these two gets played. Good luck guys!

I haven't heard back from Rob yet... but I should have time this weekend if he can't do tonight.

I've been online each of the last 2-3 nights. I will be on tonight after 9:30pm Central or so, if that works for you. I need to get it in ASAP, as I'm leaving for a week's vacation on Saturday. Let me know, bro.

I'll try to be on at 9:30 central tonight.

Since you didn't reply I didn't have any reason to go online. I don't play lobby games with this thing.

Semi-Final Report

Slovakia 3 - Switzerland 0

Good game, FB. It's hard to go back and forth between FIFA and this game without going crazy.

Professor Macca, I'm ready for my whipping. If you can play tomorrow night, I'm game. Otherwise it's going to have to wait until I get back in town next Saturday. Either way is fine with me.

No no you've got it all wrong! It's just a creatively shaped "a" that's all. Use your imagination damn it

EURO 2008 Final :

Slovakia 0 - Rep. Ireland 2

I would say that there will be drinking all night in Dublin but this wouldn't really represent a change from the usual baseline.

Regardless, Trapatoni's boys did him proud with a hard-fought two nil win over those pesky Slovakians on yet another rain-soaked pitch.

Good game, Rob - have fun on your vacation!

Mac - thanks for organizing all of this, you did a great job and it was much appreciated.

RobVarak · Post by **RobVarak** » Sat Jul 12, 2008 1:11 am

Great game, Macca; Congrats on the championship. My creative plan to take things to penalties fell apart like Slovakian currency.

Thanks to Mac for setting up the tourney and to all you guys for playing!!
