World Cup: USA vs UK Do my boys have a shot?

[Stu_Ungar]

but my bet only goes now, you gotta say yea now, not when England is 7-0 lol

Id love to say yes but TBH I have never played HU in my life so I don't really think I'd stand a chance.

American Football is played in the USA,canada and where else, Japan?

Baseball- USA,Canada,Few Caribian and latin countrys and Japan.

Basketball, Ok sure its played in most country´s but only in america and canada is it any where near the most popular sport.

Football(not soccer ) Played every where in the world, more country´s are a part of FIFA then the UN.
There is a reason why its called the universal game.

against me you would

OK no blind clause

just heads up

I follow a lot of your posts, and have great respect for your opinion. I, on the other hand, am barely out of the fish phase. So I dont stand a chance. But lets do it different. You name the game, but with a money limit (tbh, you can probably kick my ass in any format) just to make this interesting. If the US loses with more than 1 goal - 2-1 we are good 3-1- I lost - you and me play, and you chose the game and the limit. But you also have to give me pointers after the game...ok? ( And I get a sweat session from you, with in reason, if I win..)

OK not the limit; i mean the money lost or won till we are done, like 10$... oops I almost killed myself with this lol

How do the penalty cards work?

how many cards/colors till eviction?

 

[fletchdad]

on the other hand, maybe I should just watch the game and keep my mouth shut. I play poker like US plays soccer, so all bets off.....

but thanks anyway stu

you shoulda taken my offer, free dinner for you..

 

[CheeseConey]

Goooooooaaaaaaaal!!!

 

[CAMurray]

1/1

 

[jbatesm]

Thanks for the encouraging comments

I honestly dont know how to play HU.

Id say "lets play FR" but the problem there is the table dynamics, part of playing FR is picking tables where everything is working well.. so if we both sat at a FR table, I might decide my BTN was too agro and move whereas you might be in a seat where the table conditions were prefect and want to stay.

HU is something I want to learn but not until I have FR mastered (well 6max would be my next step) but eventually I would get to HU.

The best way to get feedback is to make a video. If you make one I'll happily go over it for you. I find they work better than sweats because with sweats you never really play youir usual style because of the prompting and when someone prompts you, they dont really have time to explain why they prompt you do do something... so they say fold but never really get to explain why because something else always comes up.

If you want any tips on making vids etc PM me and I'll help you out.

Yellow is a caution, red is a sending off.
2 yellows=Red.
But u can also get a straight red for very bad fouls.

Also, lol at Green.
The 3 reasons England never win anything:
Useless goalkeepers for the last 20+ years.
Complete lack of good left wingers.
Penalty shoot outs.

Id go further and say this.

England have one of the best, if not the best leagues in the world. However many of the players in the league are from abroad so when you watch premier league football you are watching a higher standard than national level football.

 

[fletchdad]

sorry, all bet off 1-1 !!!!!!!!

or I should say "all bets on"

For sure.
The PRM also plays a part in the fact why u lack a quality keeper and left footed winger.
If there where not so many players from other countrys playing there, young players with potential would be playing week in week out with quality teams(oposed to beeing loaned to league 2 teams) and the national team would have more players playing regularly to pick from.

The fifa 6+5 rule would have helped that but it obvs goes against EU regulations.

Imagine if Kirkland,Carson,Hart(and the other potential future keepers for England in recent years) would have be playing every game with PRM team.
Im sure they would have reached there potentials better...

 

[Gr3atness]

Outside of the first 4 minutes the USA didnt play too bad.

Yeah our goal was lucky but the play was somewhat even from minutes 5-45 and so is the score

We have a chance! USA! USA! USA!

TY for this stu. I will get you a video (will PM as am not sure how to do it)
and very much appreciate the offer!!!! I believe you are mainly a cash player, and I am just starting to get into cash games (me a sng and mtt guy) so need ALL the help I can get, thanks!!

But I gotta say this at half time....1-1..........

 

[S93]

Caragher in for King.
I guess King is still injured? Upsons obvs rubbish so Carra gets to play.

 

[CheeseConey]

Damn, our defense looks weak. Giving England too many easy chances.

 

[CheeseConey]

I'll take the tie. Not a victory, but definitely not a loss!

 

[CAMurray]

YES!

 

[Maid Marian]

I hate ties, but this is better than a loss...too bad they don't do overtime as they do in American football to avoid a tie situation! Go USA!!!

Thanks for the info, sindri...I did wonder about that!

 

[NCfoldem]

Okay, then .. U - S - A !

 

[cAPSLOCK]

point taken, and dont forget one of basketballs best, Dirk Levinski, a German...

Yay for the USA not losing today! haha.

It was a fun game to watch.
