Same old, same old. It's y'all who were missing the point of evil.one's post which is a counter to all the pre-emptive moaning, whining and general hand-wringing if RL should lose Div 1 Xball at Namacolin since the excuses are already built in and were being bandied about whilst anxiously awaiting the results of yesterday's Ava match.

Mags, I guess that goes double for all the Eurokids who live vicariously off every "triumph" of some other Euro team. Course if they were to shut up the post count around here would drop into the negatives.

Actually BL it was a simple question. Simply curious.
I checked the MS web site and it only went back to 02 and it was all US.

I could care less, I hope the EU catches up.

I didn't ask for excuses, explanations or promises, just an answer. I mean seriously Pete, what was that all about.

Man you guys pissed me off today.

Let me tell you something. If anyone knows how hard it is, its me, I tried for 10 years to 'raise' a team to the top.
-for the record, I beat every pro team in events. But I never won a us pro event so I keep my mouth shut... Cause in the scheme of things, I know where I stand.

This tirade everyone jumped into over a simple trivia question blows me away... I just wanted to see if my memory served me.

Okay, A. My bad--I apologise for putting words in your mouth but the general Euro attitude never ceases to amaze me. I'll own everything I said however.

So Kids, do you think American ballers are tearing their hair out and weeping over RL's sudden death win whilst y'all jump with glee? And if not, why not?

hey Father, i think the Americanos will give RL muchos trouble. you folks invented this game and play with lots of love. of course it'll be hard for the RL to win (games). and i guess theyre not used to handle even matches either. oh, and maybe those meals at Jack in the Box will make'm slow.

don't base the ''general euro attitude'' on a dozen orso posters on this forum.

I bet you a lot of euro kids adore the So-Cal baller or many other teams in the sweet old US of A.

The kids here are 100% Infamous, Dynasty or Arsenal fan,
if one of them wins we have to hear it for days.
The americans are the rockstars and everybody knows it, maybe
it's just a bit of jealousy you are running into...

Aaron, Magued wasn't have a pop at you, he was reacting to Baca's inflammatory post, as was I.

And Paul, vicarious eh ?

And you personally have won what exactly and played at what level ????

And as for built-in excuses, I don't think I have indulged in anything that hasn't been stated honestly, it seems to me that if there is a systemic problem in adjudication, then whether that is used for a built in excuse or a post game observation, it by no means invalidates the problem.
As for all the other advantages the Americans enjoy, you telling me you ain't got a thousand times more players?
You telling me the yanks do not get significantly more finance
than the Euros?
You telling me the resources you guys have are soo much better than ours?
You telling me Rodney King didn't get a kicking???

Jeeeez, don't cheapen or insult us by inferring we are always looking for excuses when all I am doing is logging differences.

Now I may well be misinterpreting your tone and line of attack here, and if I am, I apologise up front and you can enlighten me as to what you really mean but if I am reading you right, then this post stands in its entirety.

1--so "Guess nobody wants to tackle this one. I wonder why?" is a challenge to y'alls collective manhood, is it? You lot rile up pretty easy, don't ya?
I do note that the responses, once inflamed, was the usual "reasons" plus, oh yeah, shut up. It's worked so well for you in the past no wonder you stick with it.
2--unlike you PB isn't my whole life or how I justify my existence. It's a game, for God's sake. I could as easily switch the "challenge" to the weight room, wrestling mat, the basketball court or an IQ test or a death match of Quake. BFD! One might have imagined the notion of the forums was the exchange of ideas, views, opinions, etc. Apparently only if they aren't unpleasant.
3--all your "reasons" are irrelevant whether they have any merit or not. The fact that y'all always--ALWAYS--fall back on immediately making excuses when challenged tells me you're fighting the wrong battle and that your attitude sucks. Psychologically too many of y'all are primed to lose and rationalize it after the fact. You can disagree with that all day long -- and as I said elsewhere it doesn't apply to all Euros but it applies to a major chunk.
And, no, you're not just logging differences--you're giving peeps a way out and in doing that you're not your Euro compatriots any favors.
Do you think Ava sat down to dinner last night and explained away losing to RL? Or decided it was okay given the circumstances?

Feel free to talk amongst yourselves. Here, I'll get you started--"Baca, what a dick!" "That's telling him, Robbo." "And the Americans wonder why we hate them, jerk." :)
