Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on June 30, 2014, 08:48:52 PM ok, a wager...
for the first to respond only (before the match)... I bet USA will beat BEL...10QP for 15QP... This bet means that if Belgium beats the USA, I give you 15QP and when the USA beats Belgium, y'all give me 10QP... Title: Re: World Cup Post by: raphael on July 01, 2014, 04:14:37 AM Already a lot of disappointments, so why not? Count me in.
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Go, go, go, Belgium! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 01, 2014, 07:00:34 PM it was a good game, though...
...sigh... Title: Re: World Cup Post by: raphael on July 01, 2014, 07:51:58 PM It indeed was good. Could've gone either way.
Thanks for the 15 QPs. :) Wanna bet some more? Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 01, 2014, 10:04:28 PM I'll let you know...
Title: Re: World Cup Post by: JoolzVern on July 02, 2014, 12:58:17 AM Hold on... Belgians play soccer? That's not fair. They should be disqualified for eating performance ennhancing waffles. Everybody knows Belgian waffles give you super speed.
Title: Re: World Cup Post by: Dadds on July 03, 2014, 12:12:51 PM and the US of A doesnt play soccer. Dumb bet to be honest. pity i logged in late
Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 03, 2014, 10:16:33 PM And now I am given an insult from 'he who shall not be insulted' :))
If the USA doesn't play soccer, why does FIFA rank us 13th and AUS 62nd in the world? Before you even start to 'diss' the Yanks, please show me how the Socceroos are better. USA vs AUS head to head: http://www.11v11.com/teams/usa/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Australia (http://www.11v11.com/teams/usa/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Australia) (edit to note that this is posting number 666 for me... ...giggle...) Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 03, 2014, 10:41:08 PM WAGER CLOSED
and ok, a wager for my pal Dadds. I bet 25QP on Germany against the field (and for another 10QP, I bet that they will play Argentina in the final). Sadly, this wager is only open to my Australian friend. If anyone else has a wager, please post it here and maybe someone will pick it up... (edit to state that this wager closes at the start of (kick-off, as it were) the France/Germany match at 09:00 PDT on the Fourth of July, 2014 (http://<img src="http://smileys.emoticonsonly.com/emoticons/f/fireworks-1678.gif" border="0" alt="Fireworks" title = "Fireworks emoticon" />)) (re-edit to show that the wager is no longer valid) Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 03, 2014, 10:46:13 PM Hold on... Belgians play soccer? That's not fair. They should be disqualified for eating performance ennhancing waffles. Everybody knows Belgian waffles give you super speed. There was a restaurant (a 'pancake-house') here in Oregon that advertised they will not serve 'Belgian waffles' (a lot of people went there for a late lunch to watch the match)... Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 04, 2014, 12:05:07 PM DING!!!
and with the ringing of the 'time-bell', the previous wager with Dadds is closed as not accepted in time. (edit - ...After all, you cannot bet on a horse after he has left the gate... ...If anyone has a wager, post it here...) Title: Re: World Cup Post by: Rostin on July 04, 2014, 01:25:32 PM There was a restaurant (a 'pancake-house') here in Oregon that advertised they will not serve 'Belgian waffles' (a lot of people went there for a late lunch to watch the match)... Was that pancake house international? Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 04, 2014, 06:05:35 PM no, it wasn't a chain, it was local. Been around almost as long as I have...
Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 04, 2014, 06:20:27 PM ok, right now, for the first to respond, I bet that Germany will defeat Argentina in the final (10QP)
I also bet that Germany will win it all (25QP) both bets must be accepted no later than the 13:00 PDT kickoff between Germany/Brasil on July 8, 2014... Title: Re: World Cup Post by: raphael on July 05, 2014, 08:05:10 AM naja, ich wollte auch auf die deutschen wetten. :)

Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 06, 2014, 08:29:01 PM What paper do you read with your morning cuppa? And, do you read a real printed newspaper or the electronic equivalent?
I read the 'Oregonian'... (...and the Onion...) (edit because - oop's, look up there ^ Dadds) Title: Re: World Cup Post by: Rostin on July 06, 2014, 08:33:34 PM I read the onion's articles that they share on Facebook. But in print I read USA Today and the New York Times (we get them free at my college).
And I watch Brian Williams online Title: Re: World Cup Post by: sargas on July 06, 2014, 08:41:40 PM good Rostin, it is a 'feel-good' type of feeling to actually hold newsprint and read hard copy...
Title: Re: World Cup Post by: Rostin on July 06, 2014, 08:42:24 PM I agree, though I still have yet to master the art of 'folding-each-page-as-I-go'

We were friends until you decided that I wasn't agreeing enough with you. Is this why my friendship with Kristen ended? Were YOU involved in that? 5I know precisely what I said, but nobody else really needs to go back and read a lot of crap because they need to read the quote that you are too lazy to reveal.

The one i typed was U.S. of A but didnt include a stop after the A. well there is the dot....you want to call it an insult that i missed a dot? sheeeshhhhh. i give up.

...to be fair and give all a chance to voice their opinions, futbol (soccer) is the worlds game... Why would the UK (or anyone else) care about the 'World Series', or the 'Super Bowl'?
