I know that being Star Trek fans often don't like sport, but I'm not one of them, so I'm announcing a "Clash of the Titans"(well not really), in four days there will be a friendly match between Croatia and Wales in football (soccer for all you Americans)

Croatia is currently ranked 9th in the world, Wales is rated 75th.

So what do you say? Mine and Zeleni's people against our evil overlord's people. Who will win?

VOTE.

Wales will win of course. Nothing can beat the land of my fathers.

To be honest, I don't care about sport of any kind. And I can't believe Wales is ranked 75th. There are actually 75 countries that play rugby?

Well not rugby, soccer(football).

75 countries play football?

*Edit - is the poll actually working for you mate?

Not really, I don't know why

I'll delete the poll and redo it for you. I've told Jig about it as well.

Ok, it's NOT something wrong with the thread, polls don't work at all. I deleted this one, reposted it, and created one from scratch. Neither attempt worked.

Could it be a bug in the software Jig?

Try now ladies, as you can see i have managed it

No, and Croatia is a great football nation.....

Weird wonder why it works for me, i`ll have to check the code tommorow guys

Still doesn't work for me either.

I'm using Chrome, might that make a difference?

*Edit - the forum time is totally wrong as well. The time is 22.26, but it says I posted this at 21.44. The hour difference could be explained by daylight saving, but the minutes can't.

Hmm... I don't understand. The poll is working just fine for me. I can see the one vote put into it.....

Oh, and I have never really had a preference for sports, so I really don't care. But the poll works .

Oh God I love sport, trek, girls, smokes, exclusive liker...and so on there is lots of good stuff out there

and It will be easy win for Croatia

Well, both Croatia and Wales suck!!!!

Greece rules!!!! (Euro 2004 winners)

PS The poll worked for me. Can you guess what I voted?

Greece is in our qualifying group for the Euro 2012.

So we'll see about that......

Greece is also in the World Cup Finals in South Africa. So, where's Croatia? Oh I remember, they're playing friendly matches with Wales

well, we didn't qualify for the first time since our independence, and because of England's revenge(they let Ukraine win)

Also, I believe that this is my proof

I really love these sports discussions

So, it seems we will have to settle our differences in the Euro 2012 qualifying games:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_ ... ng_Group_F

The first game is on September 7, 2010, so let the best Greek win

hehehehehehe, me too, we'll just have to wait and see.

Can't wait

It seems that Croatia won it's first match against Latvia while Greece barely drawed(is that a correct expression?) against Georgia.

Hmmmm, what were you saying about Croatia?


Your move.

I believe the correct term is "drew".

Anyways, enough of this sport. Icky, horrible stuff. We're all supposed to be nerdy couch potatoes that hide from sunlight and fear anything that involves physical effort.

I fear physical effort. It makes me tired. Sports? What's a sport? Honestly, its been so long since I actually played a sport or watched a sport or participated in sporting events. Hmmmm... thinking now, I AM simply a nerd that everyone relies on for uninteresting tidbits of random knowledge. Oh well, I suppose the truth was going to surface eventually... anywho, its back to work for me... yes, physical effort. Ugh.

Playing sports and watching them on TV (while wolfing down a giant pizza and a couple of beers) are two different things

Well, congrats about winning Hope to see you in the finals!

I couldn't imagine life without sports both watching and playing them.

The perfect moment for me was watching the FIFA World Cup 2010 with a bunch of my friends on a trip to Czech Republic with bunch of beers in our Hotel room.

Or when my team won against a team Americans this year. (They have annual visits to our highschool and teach computer science, but primary it's so that we learn how to interact with people from a english speaking country. We also have friendly sports matches against them.)

Also, eventhough you drew against Georgia, I know that the match against you will be difficult and I'm certain that both our Countries will qualify to the finals because they are by far the best ones in the group.

Big game tonight. Good luck and may the better team win.

Indeed, it's D-day today! Good luck to both our teams and may the Greeks win

Hehehehehehehe, we shall see.

Oh c'mon, draw is not a fair result, we were better and we deserved to win.

Who said that life or soccer are fair

A great victory against Czech Republic. 4:2
