  1. Re: Hattrick

    I've been playing hattrick since 2004 and I'm not bored yet. Addictive and fun when you see as your team develops. Xcout maybe a friendly game? ;) But first I must be knocked out of the cup .
    The friendly game sounds like a nice offer, just as you said, we have to wait to be knockout of the cup. But indeed I will love to have a friendly against you. :)
  2. Well I am here to introduce you to a vice, this football simulator, put's you in front of a team of 11 players. You are in charge of economy, transfers, orders for the match, and hiring specialists. You give the orders for the match and just watch as it unfolds, the good thing about this game is you don't have to be online at all time. Just to arrange friendlies and to send the lineup for the game. You play in a league format, with seven other players, winning the league awards you a place in the next level. Really adictive. You can start loosing and learning about the game, but later when you catch the way the game is play, you can start winning and it gets exciting.:loon http://www.hattrick.org Getting a team can be a time wait but it dependes on the country you are. Be patient :wall

  3. Re: Germany vs USA Well yes USA prove their reserve team isn't up to the taks of taking a full Germany squad, just doubtful because Taylor Twellman is consider to be in the final list of Bruce Arena. So some doubts will arouse as he was unable to score. But I coincide PR Germany can't be consider contendant material because as stated it was USA reserves, still some names are heavyweights in USA.

  4. Re: Germany vs USA Really nice thread set up here, being from this side of the world I will like to put my point of view. For those of you who think that USA will fall against Germany, well it is true that USA will have many absences but also take in cosideration that the league in USA haven't began, they are in pre season and they lent the players to the National team. Also from Europe: Kasey Keller (Borussia Moenchengladbach) Bobby Convey (Reading FC, England) Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96) Gregg Berhalter (Energie Cottbus) It is true this aren't great names, but Keller and Berhalter has already being in the national team. Statical: Usa vs Germany All time record 2W-0D-5L With Bruce Arena USA has against Germany 2W - 0D - 2L Hedjudk and Donovan absences, but consider that Taylor Twellman, together will the other MLS players have a playstyle that the national team uses, that's why the league was created for, to generate players that have capabilities to play in the national squad. So for me, USA apart from FIFA ranking is a good team, and the game will be hard and rispid. More by taking into consideration Germany is going with all their stars and USA have considerable absences (still they have important players to cover them). So I think that a draw is possible, still one coach said that when Germany is hurt in their honor they are very dangeours, still that is his opinion. So I will sit down and watch the result of the game. But for me really it can go either way. I will take risk in the end and go with USA +1 7/[email protected] Pointbet

  5. Re: International Friendlies (28 February-1 March 2006)

    1-0 final score so winners all round' date=' nice way to round the day off[/quote'] the odd thing, Guille Franco had said that this wasn't a good time for the national team call up, and also club Villareal was in disagree with it. But it was Guille Franco who score the goal fo Mexico. And then he receive some kicks.. that was the only bad things..:@
  6. Re: International Friendlies (28 February-1 March 2006) I will take USA with 0 AH @ 1.95 at poitnbet 10/10 USA have take change of this FIFA oficial date and call any available player in europe soil and take in consideration that isn't one or two players only, 10 players that play in Europe where call. And their preparation is being one that resembles the one in Korea 2002, with matches being play in the country where the World Cup will be. This match will be play in Germany. For Poland I didn't find a lot of information, but somewhere I read that they are still forming the team, and my point of balance is that USA likes to play quick and also that their players play in competitive leagues in europe, premiership, bundesliga. So it would be a rispid game, but I expect usa to win (altough record is against it, it wasn't until last 5 yeras that USA became a serious soccer thread) or in case of draw, stakes are given back.

  7. Re: International Friendlies (28 February-1 March 2006) Be careful with mexico, the have problems with teams with speed, and Ghana as africans have speed. Supposly LaVolpe should learn from defeat against Corea, but I don't know if this is the case, he was expecting Carmona and Osorio to be lift their punishment. But they aren't so he have to find quickly players to take their place. So I wouldn't touch this match.

  8. Re: If this loses I QUIT I was thinking and comparing this situation with the one in Mexico, here if Mexico losses against USA in qualification round and that means no World Cup, problems for the coach, because the sponsors will be angrey, and that's what happen in England after N. Ireland game. Sadly to see but also in national squad money interest are there. So arriving to the World Cup is a must for many teams, due to history and economic benefit, imagine you are an english brand that supports the national squad, having the team in the World Cup can help you get the exposure you desire by placing and ad in the stadium they will play. Economic benefit!! So I think that if England clear the group stage and then lost in a close game Sven could stay in his position, but if the team is outrun in that game or someother posterior to stage group, he could be gone. Also take good care, when Mexico was facing USA in the World Cup 2002, and before the match, everyone in Mexico knew that coach Javier Aguirre will leave the team and go to Osasuna. Before the team was eliminated from the World Cup. So you can figure, remember Real Madrid supposly is with an intern coach, and maybe they could go for Sven.

  9. Re: World Cup Quals America Wed/Thu 12/13 October

    You're right, it's between T@T and Guatemala, both playing teams with nothing to play for, BUT T@T and Guatemala have really terrible H2H records against them. I personally know nothing about relationships among the nations. Mexico, if no "political" instructions come into place, look too big @ such a price.
    You could said Mexico has nothing to play, still mexico population may not receive very well a defeat, I will wait for news unfold today and tomorrow before saying something. I consider the price to be huge for Mexico and in AH a 0 for 1.99 is a very nice price. You are right Jack Wargner could send instructions for referees in T@T vs Mexico, but still I will doubt it. I hope to hear soon that Mexico would play will all against Trinidad and Tobago. "kikin" fonseca and Guille France play very well against Guatemala.
  10. Re: World Cup Quals, South America (CONMEBOL and CONCACAF), Sat. 8/10 well I couldn't find them either in gamebookers or pointbet, so maybe on one more day they will release the odds, due that they play in the weekend. But I think is a nice handicap, still Mexico is really motivated and they have call naturalized player Guillermo Franco (argentinian) to the National Squad.

  11. Re: U-17 PERU World CUP

    Good luck - only Conf Cup saw regular sides' date=' not U17, which is several flights below (as for age) and those young sides are rather vulnerable from the pshychological point of view. We'll see.;)[/quote'] That's my point, I don't see this team vulnerable in pshychological, altough losing and with time up, the players have time to make (I don't know how to said this in english, to lift the ball above the players to gain it again). It was irresponsible, but I see in this ilusion, and love for the game. Which I really think they have great possibilities.
  12. Re: U-17 PERU World CUP Well, i didn't include AH in my preview because it was unavailable to see. I have check now, and it is a nice 2.065 in 0:0 AH. So I think I will go for this option, because is the safest one, and the price is rathers high. I don't think Mexico game is hard to call, it is because mentally we gave great importance to Brazil, but remember Mexico has beaten Brazil, in Confederations Cup (twice, one in 1999 Final, and in 2005). As one friend of me said it is 11 vs 11 in the field. Yes but I see Mexico better. It is just that.

  13. Re: U-17 PERU World CUP Well, here I am taking on Mexico U17 vs Brazil U17. In Bet365 right now the price is a very nice 2.87 I will advise taking it, here are the reasons: It is true, it is Brazil, but coach Jesus Ramirez is not mexican, I don't mean about his nationality, but of the way he thinks. He is sure of things and have work since the creation of this squad 2 years ago. All the players doesn't have in mind what most mexicans think about their squad, that they will fail in the most important movement, what U-17 squad is thinking is to me come back with the cup. Jesus Ramirez is sure of winning, in Mexico media is said we have the possibility of being champions, come on not only possibility, there is big probability, like an 80%!!. But Jesus doesn't watch mexican media, which made me trust him, he is not poison by the media. Who has brought all the country attention to this match. When at the beggining no one was interested when they play against Uruguay. I was with them since the beggining as this forum can testify. No one was interested Sub-20 when they didn't qualified to the U-20 World Cup early this year. Also didn't give coverage to Toulon Tournament, where Mexico U-20 pass group phase and arrive to semifinals losing just 1-0, you can check my picks of that tournament in fcbet.com, in which pick I bet against Mexico, but I was aware of their ongoings. So it really hurts now that everyone is talking about the national squad, it gets me sick. Mexico is playing solid soccer, the players know each other very well, and try to innovate with the defense in order. They have score 13 goals, and receive just 3, for a great +10 goal average. Their defense is really solid and they can adapt their game to play in counterattack with great results. They have a great group, who know what they want, and know how to achieve it. They have great players, in Giovanni Dos Santos, Carlos Vela, and also Evar Guzman. The bench is realiable, and altough just this names have like fill the media, there are many players with huge capacity. They came with a task in mind, it wasn't a easy one, become champions, and they are just one game from doing it. They consider Brazil to be an equal not above or below them, and that is important. So it would be an good game. Brazil is another team, with huge potential offensive power, and many important players, but they are lacking of a great defense, They have score 15 goals, but receive 8, and where force to win their last game in order to qualified to the next round. I am really concern about the brazilian defense. So I am sure and in tone with Jesus Ramirez, Mexico will be Champion and win this game. If you have read this trough here thanks, just one last tought, reading trough Fifa.com articule, it was stated that this is a "Gold Generation", indeed it is, but they have to leave them continue the process, some retarded shout in a restaurant that Giovanni should be in World Cup 2006. I think that not, he needs to continue his process and continue his evolution, there is plenty of time to take this squad to SouthAfrica 2010. Where they would have 22 years. Still I know how they manage things in mexico, and well I hope Vela get to Europe, because in Chivas they are going to make him play in the top team and that could hurt him more than help him.
