CFC EURO 2004 Dreamteam Competition

[MrPresident]

By the way, the tournament starts in about 2 and a half hours, you can only submit a team until then, for obvious reasons.

The world is going to end and you're out of milk?

[MrPresident]

I would like to take this moment, in which I am kicking all your asses, to be humble and modest. It's not every day that one proves their vastly superior footballing knowledge but I will not take advantage of the glorious situation I find myself in and crow about myself tremendous achievement.

 

[Hitro]

You had the same luck as Saiz when it comes to Valeron...

 

[MrPresident]

Luck had nothing to do with it. Not that I'm bragging.

 

[Hitro]

Even more so as you didn't even pick Valeron...

But you picked Puyol, which makes it even worse as I kicked him out at the last point in favour of Couto...

 

[phoenix_night]

Yey! I have a point!

Two things really annoyed me while watching the matches today:

1. Portugal score in the very last minute. Why? You're still going to lose, and that's two points you've cost me!

2. Albelda getting a booking. Fool.

Oh well.

Hitro, is there any way for us to update the databases we have on our systems? Obviously I mean aside from typing it all up ourselves.

 

[Dell19]

I'm confused since I thought Baraja played for Spain and thus got me 2 points... 2 yellow cards...

 

[Hitro]

That sucked indeed as it cost Dellas two points.

Yes, I'll update it in the first post along with the standings. You can download today's database from there already.

Dell, as I also posted elsewhere you lost two points due to bookings.

IIRC you got:

Baraja & Andrade played: +5 points
Andrade conceded two goals: -4 points
Baraja & Pauleta got booked: -2 points

So -1 overall.

 

[phoenix_night]

Baraja got booked and thus only got you 1 point. Portugal conceded two and thus Andrade got you -1 points.

Edit: Already posted by Hitro.

Oh, and also, I missed your Pauleta booking...

 

[anarchywrksbest]

My 7th place is down to hard work and determination. Not the fact that none of my players has had match yet.

 

[Dell19]

Damn it! The forum had to have a page not displayed error, otherwise I might have edited that post first, thats twice now I've gone back to edit a post to see replies already. Slow down.

 

[Karl Lenin]

Loskov, Joaquin and Deco started on the bench and the guys who played instead of the them were worthless, while Raul managed to miss at least a half-dozen of good opportunities. Outrageous!

Btw, how does the scoring system work for subs like Deco? 0-1 for one half = 0 points?

 

[Dell19]

I thought you got the appearance points as long as they appear on the pitch?

 

[Hitro]

Any player who plays gets the full points, both for appearence and for conceded goals.

14. fcz                     zenga                -3

Zarth and myself surely liked the overtime of the France match...

 

[Dell19]

Well at least I'm not last anymore but 3 points turned into -1 in 3 minutes...

 

[phoenix_night]

Shouldn't Henry get 2 points for an assist? He won the penalty...

 

[Hitro]

I refer to the official UEFA statistics. They seem to give no assists for "winning" a penalty. They also gave no assist to Beckham, which I personally would have done for the free kick that led to the English goal. I'll watch if they change it, but if they don't I'll keep it like this.

EDIT: "Official" as in "on their website"...
