Title: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by Etch on 07/24/10 at 16:38:26 Disclaimer - This topic is aimed at voters who are undecided. I am well aware of those loyal to Lacey or myself so no amount of words can possibly sway your vote. Since this is the final match, I felt that I should at least address the voters and plea my case and let the chips fall as they may. I don't think you can change your vote but if you change your mind about either candidate in the next 2 days it's only fair to both of us. http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/7861/karter2010.png For a contest that took longer than the World Cup, we have finally arrived at the main event! It is a tale of predictable matches and some surprise upsets. http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/509/padz.png I didn't believe one vote mattered until this cunt above, who for protection purposes we will call Mack Jurphy, apparently casted a vote for me. Since the details regarding his controversial vote are being hoarded, it is often believed Kooper's Koin gave me the vote to avoid a tie and simply move onto the next round. From there it was smooth sailing but having to defeat Clark for a chance to win the entire contest was a terrible and cruel twist of fate. So why am I here at all? If the mafia games are any indication of people's read on others, upsets were inevitable. I'd like to think luck was a huge factor because the people doing predictions have no fucking clue. Don't hate the karter, hate the game. Like last time, I have promised nothing and given nothing back to the community other than the mkds site and time update help for mk64. For whatever reason, more than 50% of the voters felt I was a good choice each time. I don't know everyone here so for those voting for me whom I rarely exchange words with, thank you. Karting is our bond and time trialing is the force that ultimately holds this dysfunctional board together. A lot has changed since I joined 5 years ago and I can say for the most part I have enjoyed bullshitting with the various players here. For as long as I played video games, this whole world of competition was unbeknownst to me. If you are one of my bros, you know who you are and it's a fact I wouldn't be here without your support. No one in my position getting this far wouldn't want to not win it all, I think. ::) If you have no idea who the guy writing this post is, let's just say he karts and has had some success with it. I want to win this for Clark, Koopz, and everyone who was once a n00b and worked their way to greatness. It's the cornerstone of this community and our site records wouldn't be as strong without it. If you love the story of the underdog and the guy almost no one picked to win the finals then I am your man. I will be absolutely floored if I win this because let's face it, Lacey is your original mk64 god and helps keep the sites afloat. If you want to vote for me it is very appreciated and I won't hold it against you if you don't. It was never my mission to make friends or ass kiss as many people here as possible. The fact I don't do much aside from mkds and yet here I am still confuses me. Rest assured, as long as times are being sent in to mk64 or mkds I will be lurking about. I rarely ask for anything so if you are stumped who to vote for, well yea, I would like your vote! For my fans, don't be sad I if lose because the sun will rise the following day and life will go on. Until 2012... http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSFbt0M4OWM_alSxvCgexWSxrrpEa_cuyMA9Tx_Xps-WKwhvSU&t=1&usg=__Wj_JZgwMc79Ckk2c75uS01uZB_g= |

Surely the manlier attitude would be to say that they're both winners for reaching the end? ;D They beat a lot of very powerful mini-bosses along the way, like Coops and Clark and Superman. Finals can be swayed by various factors that are hard to calculate, such as English referees, or campaigns. If they fought against each other every year I doubt it would be the same winner every time. |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by oneshot1985 on 07/25/10 at 16:18:07 For the final time, Howard Webb had a fine game and obviously there can only be one winner the rest are just losers. |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by oneshot1985 on 07/27/10 at 09:27:26 So he swayed the game in Spains favour by not sending off two dutch players. GTFO. Most if not all the yellow cards were justified. I can understand why the dutch are angry as you lost the final of the world cup, I would look for excuses too. You can talk about the big mistake at the end, but that doesn't mean he had a bad game. England's dissallowed goal was a much bigger mistake and we didn't get much sympathy from you Karel. Holland deserved to lose end of. No hard feelings bruvva. I wanted you too win after all. |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by KVD on 07/27/10 at 09:39:03 If you think Webb had an ok performance you're either legally blind or completely retarded...or both. It has nothing to do with Holland losing, as I felt they deserved to lose as well with the way they played. That doesn't say anything about Webb's performance though. It's not just the not sending off of two Dutch players, which he failed to do, but a plethora of other things. It truly was one of the most horrible reffing performances I've ever seen; heck, he even admitted himself that the entire game felt like a ride through hell...and low and behold...that's exactly the impression he was giving to me. [smiley=thumbdown.gif] Webb after the game: "Sunday night was the most difficult two hours of my entire career. I am physically and emotionally drained.” That doesn't sound like someone who had something even close to an ok game, does it? ::) About the England goal being disallowed, that too was a effing mistake. But overall that ref made far fewer mistakes, admittedly one giant one, but still. It doesn't mean England deserves sympathy or not (same with Holland), it just means the ref made a giant blooper, nothing more, nothing less. Flaming Webb and having sympathy for Holland are two seperate matters, if you can't see that, GTFO. >:( |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by KVD on 07/27/10 at 09:58:54 Yep, and low and behold, those are all examples of wrong decisions, thanks for making my point! ;D Sadly, that's just a very small percentage of the mistakes he made as well. :-X |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by oneshot1985 on 07/27/10 at 10:01:36 But how can you complain when you would have lost severely without these 'mistakes', it doesn't make sense at all? |

I'm complaining as a football supporter first and foremost, he completely ruined the final for me (the #1 footie match to look forward to in a 4 year period), which pisses me off more than anything. In the end Blatter and his band of useless morons are the ones to blame though. [smiley=flush.gif] |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by oneshot1985 on 07/27/10 at 10:08:04 9v11 before half time deffo would have killed the game off. Webb tried to not ruin the final by not sending off players. Anyway, the game was terrible imo, the Dutch ruined it by playing like that, it was awful to watch. Anyway lets leave it now, I would be fucking pissed too in your situation. Fuck it. Football isn't life and death, its more important than that. [smiley=beer.gif] |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by KVD on 07/27/10 at 10:14:01 Nono you got it all wrong. If he reacted with a red card RIGHT away he would have given a signal to the Dutch team and the subsequent fouls would not have followed. It would have saved the game, not ruined it like now. And I'm not just talking about the two potential red cards, those are just the tip of the iceberg. Noticed the most blatent deflection of the entire World Cup, just before the Iniesta goal and no corner was given? ;D Just one of the many, many examples. [smiley=smokin.gif] |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by oneshot1985 on 07/27/10 at 10:23:51 You could be right but it's debatable, the way the Dutch set out to play was clear to see I doubt a red would have changed their minds. All, if not most of the yellows were justified, there wern't mistakes. Anyway I'm off, I hope you can come too terms with this loss in time friend.

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by KVD on 07/27/10 at 10:28:59 Meh, I'm fine, tbh I didn't even WANT them to win the game with the way they played. I was just hoping for an exciting final, like everyone else. This WC sucked though. I posted this rant on FB right after the WC ended: "This World Cup sucked! Regardless of what team Netherlands has performed (I love football itself more than I love the orange team), overall entertainment value was sub fucking par. The fact the eventual World champion only produced 8 goals in 7 matches probably signifies this more than anything. I say, roll on football ...without the involvement of FIFA, commercialization and defensive minded coaches..." Football is dying :'( [end of off-topic banter] |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by oneshot1985 on 07/27/10 at 10:38:00 Yeh worst world cup I have ever seen definitely, it never really got going. Although I thought 2006 was quite bad aswell. Germany and Uruguay brightened it for me. But the final killed it. Spain were boring. [smiley=thumbdown.gif] |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by Fababu on 07/27/10 at 10:44:39 Spain lost the touch they has when Aragones was the trainer. 8 goals in the whole tournamente, WTH? Hope to see something better on EC 2012. |

Maybe they should just ban football completely and replace it with the kart WCs. We can all earn the millions we wanted and live happily ever after. Problem sorted... |

Title: Re: THE FINALS (DEICIDE 2010) Post by Eoj on 07/27/10 at 15:43:31 I didn't get to see the finals match because I was heavily supporting the German team, and their loss really, really pissed me off. After that I was pushing for the Dutch, and the last video made me laugh out loud, literally... This is yet another reason why "football" (inside quotes as to not get confused with American Football) will never really get a decent following in the United States. BLATANT fouls like that are clearly grounds for dismissal, aside from all of the other "fouls" where people roll around on the ground for a minute, get taken off by a stretcher wielding team of FIFA nurses (I'm looking at you, Ghana...), and then subsequently get off the stretcher and celebrate with their team. And I know there's nothing you can do about faking an injury to kill clock time and ruin the world's biggest sport, but I'm just calling it like I see it. And I consider myself a "football" fan, so don't think I'm just another American hating on your sport... |
