    If today you still don't know Germany's 4-2 to Costa Rica, then for sure you don't care about the result being spoiled, don't you think? :)

    I'm just looking out for the unfortunate futbol-crazed sap who spent the last 20 hours in a coal mine and has no idea what's going on, and can't wait to get home and fire up the TiVo, but first must check the Lounge to see what exciting discussions he may have missed on his favorite Visual Studio .NET programming site.

        I don't follow the World Cup, but as a courtesy to those who may not yet know the outcomes of the games, if you're going to post results in your message, please put a "spoiler" warning in the subject of your message. Glad your teams are playing well. Best wishes for continued success. :rose: Jon Sagara When I grow up, I'm changing my name to Joe Kickass! My Site | My Blog | My Articles

                      So fellows, are you all following the World Cup? Although they lost, Costa Rica did a good game against Germany, Trinidad and Tobago won their first point in a World Cup (T&T 0 - 0 Sweeden) and Mexico won against Iran 3-1 (I'm bustin with happiness with this). We now only need a victory from U.S. to make an almost perfect start of the World Cup for the teams representing the Football federation of North and Central America and Caribbean. On the other hand, two of my three teams -Mexico, Germany- won, and only remains a victory of Spain -my third team. How are your teams doing?

                          Not really. I have a vague interest in Spain winning because I picked them in the office draw. Other than that I'm not going to sit down and watch the games and I do wish the news coverage would keep it down to the final scores rather than attempting to interview the masses of people watching on a big open air TV screen.

                            Kult is a horror rpg, many say the best. It plays in our days in out world and says, the things are not what they look like at all. So horror can be found everywhere. DSA - "Das schwarze Auge" or in English "The black eye" is a classic low-fantasy setting. Prost (Primary ROleplaying SysTem) is a universal system, we got a high-fantasy world for it: Pyramos. This world is a four-sided dice (tetraeder) with four nearly independet worlds on it. Every side is differs from the others in most points. There is a earth-side (fantasy), a air-side (high-fantasy), a water-side (a kind steam fantasy with martial elements) and a fire-side (dark-fantasy). In near future there are other settings available for Prost, too. We designed Pyramos to be unique (and all review state that this is true), a new special world with many peerless playable folks. Ok, sounds a bit like an advertisement, but you asked :->

                                    Nope. I'm also avoiding like the plague any bars which have televisions in them... ;P Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

                                    Why's that? Worldcup keeps us from thinking on real life problems and situations.;P For example, watching the Worldcup stops my mind from thinking that next july 2nd we'll have president and congress elections...

                                        This year......Switzerland will be coming home with the world cup... Now jokes aside, I think Argentina have a great potential.

                                        Well, they have chances. Indeed, any Europe team is a de facto candidate for winning the Worldcup. On the other hand, Swiss guys won against La France in the classification matches, didn't they? A polar bear is a bear whose coordinates has been changed in terms of sine and cosine.

                                          Actually no, they had 2 draws, but being in the french side of Switzerland, I get all the french TV channels and from what I see and hear, the french team has some internal problems. Another interesting point is the fact that they do not allow any journalist to approach the castle they are staying in now in Germany, with contrast with other teams who are far more open and in good contact with the media. Tonight la squadra azzura is playing, more problems for the italians as there have been numerous scandals concerning tricked matches in the italian league. So let's wait and see...play starts in 10 min!!
