World Cup!

Very helpful, thank you guys!
I think I’m going to order the John Keegan and Erwin Rommel books.
Thanks again!

The NFL will attempt an overseas adventure with an team, i can’t say it will work or not. Worth a try, better than a small U.S market city. The London game should have been better teams, first class teams like a Dallas Cowboy and Oakland Raider match up.

@frimmel:

I think that your are incorrect on the schedule regarding length of playoff series.  :| The schedule is made assuming all playoff series go the distance isn’t it?

I’m not sure, and couldn’t find anything detailing it.  But from what I’ve seen the World Series schedule didn’t get released until after the divisions finished.  Check this link for an example:

@whoman69:

I wouldn’t at all say stomped.  In fact he was not defeated, merely not able to further advance due to the logistics.

Logistically, beginning the overland journey from Boston to Quebec City in September was a dumb idea to begin with, but Arnold then lost the part of his army that hadn’t died from disease or exposure in his attack on the city itself. The city was held with the loss of only 5 of its defenders. Arnold should get credit, however, for having his men going into the attack on Dec 31st knowing that their enlistment was up the following day…

@Soon_U_Die:

CC,

Back to the original post/point.  I only got to see half the game….the first half.  LMAO.  How’s that for bad luck?  Everyone is raving about it so I am hoping to get a tape to watch of the second half.

SUD

lol
that’s funny in a bad way.  The first half did drag a little bit.  But you absolutely gotta’ see the second half and the overtimes.  Some wonderful drives.

I hope I am not the only one here going to the WBC this year. The week long gaming convention features literally hundreds of incredibly fun boardgames. Axis and Allies is among the largest game played there, with scores of players participating in a 6 game swiss match.

The WBC lasts from Tuesday, July 29 to Sunday, August 3. The Axis and Allies matches are played throughout Wedsday and Thursday. Its a blast, and I highly encourage anyone who is free that week head down.

The convention is held outside of Baltimore, Maryland, at the Hunt valley Inn. information about signing up and joining can be found at:
