One night in Paris achievement done. Major pita since it seems latest patch made it so you can't integrate France when you have a personal union. At least they kept breaking free before the 50 year wait was up, despite me having high relations with them. Ended up having to break them apart piece...

Here in Australia we have match review panel that looks at games and issues penalties for simulation. Much easier to setup in a smaller country / competition though

That sucks, but don't forget it's got until forever to make some money! And I'm sure as you build more onto the grander world, people will come back to sky island.

Winning the 100 years war is such an epic pita.

Pretty sure Tottenham is the team he's after. Even when they finally make it into a champions league spot they don't get to have it due to the universe conspiring against them

Howard still MOM. would have been 5/6 - 0 without him

First book was awesome and I couldn't put it down. I probably put it on the same level as Rothfuss, which I consider to be below Asoiaf but above Way of Kings. Can't wait to read Tower Lord and see how it continues.

Ouch. Pretty harsh on the greeks. Penalty wasn't a bad one, just brought out a great save. They really needed to finish the game in extra time to avoid the lottery.

Seems like subs should be incorporate to account for any injury, health or just unforeseen circumstances, but would you also allow tactical substitutions? Swapping players in and out of different matches during the tournament because they might match up better?

Do not buy this game. It will suck hours, days, weeks out of your life, with nothing to show for it but huge stretches of the world laying subjugated under your iron fist!

It's so hard to love American Football when you support the Dolphins 8(

This is what happens when they have breaks in the world cup games!

Awesome book. Quite different to the King Henry ones, though you still see the similar writing styles.

Love the tropico series, but like everyone has mentioned, they are all pretty much the same. I think I preferred 4 the most, had a slightly smoother UI setup than 5 and fixed the bugs of 3. A lot of the DLCs are cosmetic, giving new buildings that you rarely use.

Pretty great article. Gives a lot of insight into where his madness comes from which doesn't excuse what he's done of course but helps explain it a little bit.

Free to use spoilers in this thread?

Any HD versions of it yet?

That's some serious bullshit. Ref costing ivory coast a place in the knockout round

wow, huge call. and looks to be the wrong one

btw, I'm not defending or condoning what Suarez did, I just don't see how people see it as the worst thing a player can do and deserving of the harshest possible punishment. Anyway, no point derailing the thread any more than it has been. The Ivory Coast v Greece match is proving quite...

so biting an opponent is worse than kung fu kicking a supporter? Seriously? I do like how now everyone who handballs is a cheat. And naturally can't mention Suares without bringing out the racist myth. Funny how good old John Terry doesn't have the same stigma attached to him.

You kick someone and deliberately break their leg on the street and you get charged with assault too. Do it on a soccer match and it's a three game ban. I can't believe you condone people breaking legs or ending their careers.

Match fixing, drug cheating. Deliberately seriously injuring people. Roy Keane should have suffered a lifetime ban from football after he admitted as much. Biting seems well down on the list of things done on the field that should be punished harshly, and anything beyond 5 - 10 matches seems...

I get that biting is disgusting, but don't understand how people can think 10 games to year long bans are appropriate when career ending injuries, and even ones forcing players out for months still only get 3 matches. Especially from those perpetual hard men who do it over and over. Nigel de...

Why no foul for Chiellini's clear shoulder hit into Suarez s mouth?!

What about calling all the US yanks?

Don't forget to call them the Dutch!

Pretty sure the guy's name is Jeep

Great play from the socceroos again, but just a defensive lapse allows Spain to capitalise. Lacking a real threat up front as well, so hard to see how we can score atm, even though we're seeing a lot of possession in their half

Cmon the Socceroos! ps, wish I had setup two TVs for watching both games 8(

Michael Crichton was a master of blending science with storytelling. Wish he was still with us and writing more books.

to be fair, Portugal are officially ranked 4th in the world. Given that Spain can't be considered #1 on current form, you could say Portugal are 3rd. All that does is highlight how flawed the rankings are, not to mention they also list England at 10!

A draw isn't bad, and before the match I think most people would have taken it, but given they were a minute from winning and guaranteed progress to the next round, it's a kick in the nuts and feels like a loss

Guessing everyone would be happy to see 90 minutes of kick to kick in the middle of the park next game!

Wow, talk about heart break. Now USA need to get something against Germany to go through

Poor Christina is going home!

This could turn it around for the USA!

Nani makes his way in to the middle but what the fuck is the point because it's Ronaldo with the ball!

Wow. That was close. Easily their best chance
