I didn't get to fly a helicopter, but I got some time in a training simulator. It was a cockpit with an enormous wrap around screen. You felt like you were moving even though you weren't. That was a lot of fun.

The only helicopter simulation I´ve tried is where you fly an Apache Longbow on the PC...


Anyway, sounds like you had lots o fun! What was the occasion?

Occasion? None!

7-1.

Wow.

It's 20 hours later, and I'm still speechless.

Me too! I didn't grasp it actually when it happened....Never seen anything like it!

But happy i am...yaaaaay Go germany GO!

We caught a rebroadcast. Still stunned though I'd been told what was going to happen. Even the bartender could not get my attention. (Until the second half.)

Congrats Star! And good luck against Argentine.

I would have preferred a final between our countries but alas, Argentine was better.

I do hope Argentine won't get a whooping like Brazil did, it's a lot more fun to watch a game where the teams are evenly matched

The worst things for the Brazilians is they still have play the third place playoff....

Me too! And in the end, it was down to pure luck. I hate penalty shootouts...


My thoughts exactly. I really do not envy them!

Well I suppose some skill is involved in taking them and blocking them, I do feel the other goalie might have done a better job here like he did last time, but with no transfer left to the coach there was no other option.

But I share your dislike for a penalty shootout, I'd much rather have seen it decided in the game itself.


So, how do you like your chances for this sunday? Do you think you'll be able to beat them?

Shouldn´t we have a soccer thread for this? Not that I care, I just don´t wanna go into a favourite thread of mine and read about it...

Sorry, after this sunday I'm sure the topic will be shelved again

Well it's a WC final, so it won't be easy by definition. That said, I am confident that we have a good shot at it. My reasoning:

THEY have Messi.
WE have a whole team!

If Germany in the end wins the whole shebang, will you donate your copies of Battlespire and Redguard to me then?

Well, congrats Star, they did it!

Hope you're not too hungover from partying all night last night



Hm, I don't think any amount of alcohol would get him drunk enough to do that

Congrats to Germany on winning the World Cup!

Germania won?

STARGELMAN OWS ME BATTLESPIRE AND REDGUARD!!


At least he would if he´d agreed to my suggestion...

Thanks!

We watched until 1:30am and got up again at 6am. I'm not hungover but pretty sleepy. But it was well worth it.

They sure did make it interesting until the last minute, didn't they? Love the goal Götze shot, even if the rest of his playing in the tournament was pretty sub par. And that assist by Schürrle was even more fascinating, especially at that point in the game. Oh well. I think they deserve this title much more than the 1990 team which just blundered through the tournament and got lucky in the end.

Someone even fired some fireworks right after the game ended. 'twas fun!

Hm, yes, congrats.

Even if I did put a bet on before the comp started on Argentina to win... which looked like I was very clever for a while, until their blasted players kept shooting wide.... grump grump...

Best team won though, no real doubts about that

i'd like the praise bonerman Gotze for his amazing goal
