As far as I am concerned, we deserved to lose this game. They always underestimate opponents like this, and always they are suprised when that underestimated opponent puts up a nice fight. So Dumb, so stupid...
I also think most dutch soccerplayers are far too arrogant. Hopefully they have both of their feet on the ground again, and hopefully they won't make the same mistake ever again (however: I doubt that. I suspect some players share one IQ).

Well, for now:

GO IRELAND!!!! I will have a nice bottle of Murphy's tonight.
 
Hippo, you just became Enemy of the (Dutch CFC part) State #1!

(In a barely disguised attempt to stir up some trouble):
Why don't you have a multiplayer game of Civ with each of you as one of the countries in the European qualifying group 2? (Good luck to the person who gets Andorra!) Yeah: EIRE, Holland, Portugal, Andorra, Estonia and Cyprus. Someone put together a scenario where the map looks like a football pitch or like a footballer or something and then you can edit the civs each time you get beaten in real life and have your revenge with marauding cavalry replacing Zenden and Overmars. Cool! If only I could be bothered to make my own map then this'd be cool!

------------------
in vino veritas
 
You know, I was thinking of making a football modpack! Maybe it's not that a bad idea after all!

Btw, Holland could still make it. If Ireland wins of Portugal, and Cyprus doesn't loose......and Holland wins both games.......or if there's a civil war in Ireland or Cyprus..........It couuld happen you know. In '95 Holland qualified because Chez Republic lost 1-0 of Luxembourg! And th Danes know that civil war comes very handy for others........

You know, the chance that something happens in Ireland is greater than something else.....maybe the violence jumps from Northern to the rest of Ireland?

Naaah, that's not good of me to hope......c'mon, kevin, think of all the people suffering......but on the other side....think of all the dutch suffering right now!

OK Willem, State Enemy #1 here
biggrin.gif
, why don't you go tell Northern that Southern said that their beer sucked! I'm sure that would start a massive nation-wide brawl in no time

Ah yes, what a treat it will be to not have to watch those bloody Dutch

In the first post I said that the Netherlands isn't in the WC for the first time ever, but in '86 we weren't in too. And we won the EC two years after that.

I actually had a football modpack about 30% done a few years ago (I had done many of the graphics and the entire pitch, complete with the brilliant "officials"/"supporters storming the pitch" civ, two "changing rooms" and white lines made of modified rivers), but a hard-drive crash wiped out that and another scenario I was working on. I'm waiting for Civ3 before doing anything new, though.
 
Tell me more, it might come handy. Though I have a scenario to finish first, and have planned two other modpacks. It'll probably take a while 'till I have time to create something concrete.....

I've heard the same, and it's true. Holland out in the first round? Don't think so! Even in the worst year since long, 1990, we got through to the 2nd round, where we lost of Germany.

Finland - Greece 5-1!
What is it with Greeks!? Just 6 months ago we losed against Cypros! Or is it just us?
That will make clear when we get our masses beaten against Germany.

We won 5-0 of Estonia yesterday, but Portugal won 3-1 of Cyprus, so there's no hope anymore, except for a war......but one may not hope that.

Shadowdale: During the WK I will support Denmark. That is, if I'm still here because, willemvanoranje, there is only one solution for us: <IMG SRC="http://home.hetnet.nl/~maartencl/images/smilies/suicide.gif" border=0>.

Okay, more on how I envisonaged the Football Modpack/Scenario:

Map: A relatively large rectangular pitch made of grassland (graphic left intact), surrounded by water (graphic blacked out). Mid-pitch on both sides of the field would be a corridor out to a "changing room" which would be the sole city of the two respective teams. In the middle of an ocean would be a barren Island which served as a base for the "officials and supporters" faction. As mentioned before, I changed all the river graphics to while lines and used them to draw up a proper field.

Units: "Goals" consisting of mid-defence, immobile units. Once they got defeated they'd be replaced by a new version of the same unit through the macro language. "Goalkeepers", high-defense immobile units that would have to be defeated before reaching goal. "Defenders", high-defense slow units, "Midfielders", mid-defense/mid-attack fast units, "Strikers", high-attack slow units (I was considering putting in real player attributes, but hadn't decided yet). All players would be replaced when defeated using the macro language, in a different part of the field. Sadly, Civ2 didn't have a "capture" funtion so a ball unit was out of the question. A "referee" unit, extremely high attack and speed, whick could permanently remove players from the field by red-carding them. Four directionally-facing "Grandstand tiles", immobile units that would surround the pitch on all sides and release "angry supporters" if anyone tried to attack them. These mobs could also be the result of a random event. "Armed Guards" or "Gates" that would block players from entering the opposition's changing rooms.

Injuries and Substitutes: Handled by random events during an attack. The new player would have to come out of the changing room.

Scoring: Since the Civ2:FW macro language had no counters (which I believe ToT has), I solved it by creating three "goal units" per team, the winner being he who defeated all three. Stupid method, but I couldn't think of a better one short of manual counting or a series of scoreboard unit.

Sounds: I was going to sample commentary for it. "And he's been given a red card!", that sort of thing.
