  1. Well considering the last worlds and the Euros this year I belive 2006 will be very interesting.
  2. Well What can I say. The Greeks played excellent, they had their gameplan and they stuck to it. They never panicked or lost their nerves. I think its time that we stop telling ourselves they got lucky. After bringing down Portugal twice, drawing against Spain and beating France and Czech its a pretty much well deserved win. And stop whining about their defence. The reason the old style mano a mano markings (that the greeks used) became obsolete and replaced by the zoning after the 70s was that the football evolved. The offense became less static so it was impossible to keep the mark on
  3. Its Portugals backyard. They also had longer rest before the finals. Not to mention they are on the roll, playing better for every match. Scholari finally have a working team as well after benching a couple of former has beens and convincing Figo to run. Every singe factor is in Portugals favor so I fully believe Greece will become the new champions.
  4. Yeah I recall that game at the olympics, havent been updated since. That was mainly were my impression of basketball came from. Lots of weird things happened at the worlds 2002. Altough the finals were between trademark countries Korea and Turkey went wild. Japan also did a pretty good show I believe and Senegal. Just like Greece in the Euros. In the end I think its great because it makes the field more open. Was it just me or did Davids stand inside the goal with his legs crossed, leaning against the goal when Portugal scored the first time? Tonight I am utterly convinced t
  5. Yeah not to mention basket, american football and wrestling, all which are quite rare outside US and not really up to american standards when they can be found. Altough former Yugoslavia did have a good basketball team. I think its Croatia now. What I meant however is that altough the best hockey clubs are in US and Canada a large number of players are from Europe. Its similar to the situation in football where the quality of leagues and clubs arent always reflected on the national teams because of the large number of foreign players. For example Spain. Well altough the interest have b
  6. If I´m not misstaking the US football team (soccer) was pretty good when they hosted worlds so they might be upcomming. But lots of americans knows about hockey, which also is very big in Europe. And the NHL league had many great imports from Europe.
  7. Well I think Greece has the best overall strategy so far. Portugal are simply put lucky to be there altough you shouldnt underestimate their supporters. Holland seems to be playing good recently but had a really bad start and are know for being severly uneven. The Czech seem to be the most stable team so far. I wouldnt expect Greece to make it, just like I didnt expect them to make it against Portugal, Spain and France. Portugal and Holland tonight will be a great game but in the end I expect Holland to win. Portugal has bascially performed as badly as Figo and the only reason they
  8. Holland and Czech seems like the two logicial choices for a final and its gonna be a great game, just like the first game between them. In that case it will be pretty open who wins. Its a bit sad I was really hoping Greece would make it, but I dont think they will get there. Unless they are underestimated again for the google time this tournament, but then again the Czech can come back and win a game even if they´re behind one or two goals. Actually I hope they meet. Their game in the qualifying group was one of the best this championship.
  9. Yeah forgot Spain, Probably because Spain havent done a decent tournament since there were four teams in the Europeans. England did at least get a medal 1966 I am upset about the loss. Not because our close chances in the OT, not because the hyped Zlatan miss his penalty, but because some lardhead have Mellberg to do the most important one. That guy have never done a penalty the last 10 years or something But really. Holland started out really bad but grew stronger, we did the opposite. Altough Bulgaria isnt really a good measure. So I guess it was comming. Now I have to
  10. Its interesting to note that the four largest footballnations are gone now (England, France, Germany and Italy). The remaining countries have all less then 16 million inhabitants. Arjen Robben=> Mikael Nilsson = Fortunally it seems to be the tourney of underdogs.
  11. Jag har också hört att man måste övernatta i Moskva på hemvägen och det kostar ju också pengar. Flygplats hotell är ju sällan billigast i stan heller. Jag åker nog ner efter sommaren, jag hade tre veckor i januari så det är ingen brådska plus att jag jobbar hela sommaren. Du jag har hört rätt dåliga saker om maten på Aeroflot?
  12. I´m flying standby now but the standard going rate is 5-6k SEK for a roundtrip, if you can plan ahead some. If you´re going during the highseason with a late reservation it probably gonna end somewhere around 7-8k SEK usually. Have you had any experiences with Aeroflot etc?
  13. CheshireTom Perhaps the girl is working in Tesco as an cashier only. Not go with man... ;D
  14. When in Thailand this year I saw lots of cheap clubs etc. Would anyone know if there is some quality to be had in Thailand, the prices were attractive?
  15. Dingo Second that. To purchase 12.500 miles will cost you 250 USD
  16. The Thai carriers are somewhat unpredictable. Its often they stop working for a day or so. Also every time I call in the morning (thai time) its never a problem but should i call in the evening the line often breaks up because of the many callers.
  17. Sorry Perhaps I´ve been confusing. I meant Baiyoke Suites hotel at 130 Rajaprarop Road, Pratunam
  18. I like Majestic Suites. Rooms are very small but the hotel is in quite good shape with good bathrooms, something that shouldnt be overlooked. Also Landmark hotel is very good altough more expensive. I also stayed at the opposite side that I forgotten the name of... anyway theres enough hotels in the area. Actually Nana Hotel is ok for a couple of days nonstop action. I will stay there next week again to see if the new pool will add the value.
  19. Thx sound great. They had a better deal at Radison then our own staffprices which got me curious.
  20. Anyone here tried them? A coworker of mine have used them and he says everything worked just fine with payment and vouchers etc. I booked a room at Baiyoke Suites for $26 per night for the end of this month so cant tell you yet how it worked out.
  21. From what I hear they have improved the food so its basically ok, not any highlights but really not much worse then most other companies. But the staff at both the Moscow airport and the flight attendants are said to be a throwback from the cold war. And going to/from Thailand you often get to wait at Moscow airport like 5-10 hours or overnight,
  22. approx 07:00 (am) if someone happens to be there at the same time.
  23. There are some pros and cons but nothing that will cause a problem. However you might want to include some asian hangouts in your prowls.
  24. Turbo You can also buy GBA games in Pattaya at the second road were you buy DVDs. Not as cheap as Pantip Plaza but cheap enugh
  25. There are lots of travelagencies in Pattaya so just spend a couple of hours and check them out.
