In all seriousness, we might not have played the best looking football but I believe our players put everything on the field. The team wasn't completely solid in the begining but they grew as a team so much. I can't agree when people say we played anti-football for most of the tournament, we had a lot of chances of winning those first games, the ball just wasn't hitting the net!

This could obviously have gone either way, but to say Portugal doesn't deserve it is just stupid. Sorry baguettes, I know how it feels to lose at home, but this was looooong overdue. All portuguese people including me suffered so much during that horrible 2004 final, I'll never forget this day.

To win it, you gotta beat every team you face. If you can't beat them, you won't win.

Maybe it's different in Portugal, I don't know. But down here, 3 draws in the group, a 3rd place, lucky advance due to new tournament setup (you would have been out 4 years ago), again 2 draws that had to be decided by penalties, isn't exactly considered beating them.

They did grow as a team, I'll give you that

Germany played very attractive football for the last couple tournaments and still was succesful. Infact Germany often dropped the ball when our coach decided to play it safe like in the games against Spain and Italy.

I enjoyed watching Germany, Wales, Iceland and Belgium. So yes, there are certainly exceptions. Still, I feel the general trend is what I described earlier.

Yeah, it shows that football has changed. This entire tournament is proof of that. It's all about teams and not individual talent. Coaches don't take chances, they play it safe. Teams are defensive and careful. If France would have lined up it's two excellent offensive wing players from the start and put some pressure on Portugal, especially after Ronaldo dropped out, they should have easily been able to win.

Dutch football ain't like that and we, obviously, missed this change. I don't think we'll make it to the WC as well. Total Football is in our DNA and that won't hold up if everybody plays like this. Our mentality is that attack is the best defense and look where that brought us in this new football. Time to watch some highlights on YT and slowly drift into sleep dreaming about the glory days.

The most boring and undecisive country to watch wins the cup. Sums up this tournament pretty well.

Ronaldo is hurt and replaced within 25 minutes. That's a sad way to go. You don't wish that for anbody. I feel for him, I really do. He may be a prick, but it's the finals, he should have been there. That's like one of the highest achievements possible in football.

I just spend an hour in the alpha. The most MP fun I had in years!

I found this to be really funny. It only uses images of season 1 (as far as I can tell), so no spoilers unless you still haven't watched season 1 obviously.

Oh, I didn't know that since I never played it. Still, they say they've pretty much overhauled everything so maybe it's better now?

So, is Mapcore gonna play?

I feel you @KoKo5oVaR. I'm not saying it's a conspiracy but the way France reached the finals is questionable. I've lost all interest in the tournament because we have a final with two teams that should not have been there. Especially Portugal, which has nothing to do with my dislike for Ronaldo. I mean, they've only won one game and they are in the finals. German also got cheated yesterday, it's as simple as that.

Still, after all the troubles in France I do think it's nice for the people that they are in the finals.

This is looking good. Kickstarter page here.

Yeah, I did. Don't think about it and you'll see an enjoyable summer blockbuster. Think about it and you'll realize it doesn't make any sense and you get annoyed.

Oh, believe me, we did talk about it internally but I can't disclose anything of course

Never bought it, but if it's free, no reason not to give it a spin. It's sad for those that bought it though. I read that that you'll get compensated with a founder status and some goodies, oh whoopie fucking doo! Still, this might bring in a lot of new blood meaning you can actually play the game against real players, thus giving your spend money some value again.

I'm extremely disappointed. Even more so than when we didn't even qualify.

You all better start doing some ancient Celtic rituals, call in the Druids, bring out your charms and all that pagan stuff, because I'm counting on you to DESTROY Portugal. I want to see Ronaldo cry again. By King Arthur, make it so!
