It was actually the oopossit with tanks. allies had the best tank (T-34) and the numbers (by far) while the germans had the skill. About the planes, I think late war allied planes were as good as those used by the germans. The allies had the advantage of numbers and (at least the western allies, I'm not so sure about the soviets) training

Any movie from the Die hard series (but specially the first one).

I think there are 14 buttons+2 rotary controls+1 slide control+mouse controls (ministick+wheel+mouse buttons)+3 hat sitchs (max 8 positions each switch. One of them is usually the POW control, so we can count just 2, unles you have TrackIR). And there are 6 modes for each one. So just imagine. Only problem is who needs all those functions and who can remember them all? (unles you want to keep several configurations in a single profile or something like that)

The championship left mixed feellings for me. On one hand WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS :clapping:and not only we won, we also deserved it (doesn't always happen). On the other hand, the FIFA gangsters and their lackeys (refs, of course) are killing this game. Thanks to them, senseless violence has become as important in football (soccer if you are from USA ) as skill with the ball.

Only 107? Raymy, my advice is "make your own profile". I tried downloading them from internet at first (specially for EECH), but I never felt comfortable with them.

and specially both teams wanting to play football (or soccer for USA) instead of some sick martial arts contest.

¡OLE Y OLE Y OLE! ¡Que les den a los de la naranja podrida!

Only 80 years? It looked like we were still at war (at least the dutch played like we were)

Esta final parece del siglo XVII. Piratas ingleses y holandeses contra España

Me encantaría tener tu puntería. Sobre todo para ajustarle las cuentas al calvo hijo de la gran puta que nos está ¿arbitrando? (la patada al pecho que le han dado a Xabi Alonso es de las de sanción a perpetuidad y el tío lo ha despachado con una tarjeta amarilla) en la final. (Está claro que hoy es el día de "Árbitros británicos, joded a los españoles", porque lo de esta mañana en Silverstone...). En fin, perdonad este lenguaje pero es que estos hijos de la gran Pu... digo Bretaña son siempre iguales.

I don't know who is the greatest son of a bitch, the english ref or the dutch butchers. I don't think we can win against 15 foes (11 dutctmen+4 refs) while we are just 11

Lo cierto es que yo estaba pensando sólo en los ¿periodista? deportivos, pero tienes toda la razón.

¿Por qué será que no me sorprende lo más mínimo?:no2:

Y no sólo los argentinos. Dudo que algún periodista deportivo en el mundo haya acertado tantas veces como el pulpo. ¡Pulpo presidente!

¡ES-PA-ÑA,ES-PA-ÑA,ES-PA-ÑA! Y el domingo, se van a enterar esos rebeldes flamencos herejes de lo que vale un peine.

Next sunday (I hope)

En eso se parece mucho al Real Madrid de estos últimos años :angry2: Pues amí Holanda tampoco me ha parecido para tanto. Puede que me equivoque, pero en el partido contra Brasil (el único que he visto de Holanda, puede que lo hayan hecho mejor en el resto de partidos), los holandeses estaban prácticamente K.O hasta que los brasileños se metieron gol en propia meta y perdieron la cabeza. E incluso entonces, creo que lo de Holanda fueron más ganas que calidad. Robben (que pena que este hombre necesite un balón para él solo) y Sneider son los únicos que parecían saber enviar la pelota donde ellos querían.

I agree. Lucasarts have released special editions of the Monkey Island games (at least the first 2) so why not XWing special edition? I'd buy it.

This kind of disasters are usually "forgotten" when they happen in wartime. Very much like the Leoppoldville (a belgian ship that sunk with nearly 800 american soldiers).

Unfortunatelly the "powers that be" (referees) seem to enjoy this kind of game. That or (as I have suspected for a long time) they are simply football player wannabes who suffer a case of extreme jealousy to actual players and take their revenge by allowing them to be kicked time after time by martial artists disguised as football players. Think of it: players who usually hit rival players more time than they kick the ball, can commit a lot of fouls (and I mean fouls the ref saw and signaled) without being punished; but as soon as a good player commits a foul he gets a yellow card (at least). If that happens we should try to scare the dutch by wearing shirts with the face od The Great Duke of Alba on them.

I think they were lucky. They were dead until Brazil self scored a goal. Then it suddenly looked like the brazilian players were the dead ones.

Tal vez te interese esto He votado por España porque siguiendo la serie mal-bien-mal-bien... este año toca bien (en Alemania hicimos el ridículo contra una banda de jubilados). Eso sí, teniendo en cuenta que en nuestro caso "bien" significa llegar hasta cuartos de final, nada más.

Handball, not basketball.

Before the championship some people complained about the ball, and after some things I've seen I think it might have something to do with the poor playing of some teams. I've seen several players make very unusual mistakes (specially spanish players like Villa or Navas). It's almost impossible to see anyone send the ball to a teammate over long distances, and long range shoots are always missing the goal. Of course players are not perfect, but good players usually don't miss so often. About Spain, they played well, but they missed too many chances. And Xabi Alonso should have kicked the penaltie shoot. He is the best for that in our team.
