Because I have a demanding job that scr*ws my mind and when I get home there's an old sick person totally dependant on me who doesn't understand I'm tired and need sleep. The matches ends at 1AM and I have to wake up at 6.30 AM and I'm late everyday at work, etc. etc.etc.
ad:
I can't concentrate on the matches like I used to do and sometimes I close my eyes for a few minutes but I like to know what's happening and to talk to you guys. Makes me forget the troubles.
Except for Argentina- Nigeria I was here all the time and I think that only Ody managed to beat this.

Hey gadjo, I was just kidding, I know it can be hard work if you need to be at work early....
and nobody can beat ody when it comes to foot-watching....I and ody were up for every game during Euro 2004 - chatting+watching till Greece finally won it
Now I cannot watch all but have still tried to catch every minute of knock-outs atleast..Tito Vilanova = :champion:

An intriguing thing was pointed out by one of the commentators: the 8 quarter finalists are all group winners. So FIFA's seeding was pretty good.

3 of the quarter finalists weren't seeds. Both France and the Netherlands came from Pot 4 and Costa Rica came from Pot 3.
And it's also true that none of the 8 quarter finalists finished 3rd in the group stage either.
The 8 quarter finalists were ranked: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11 & 31.
It kind of seems a little obvious to me that group winners should survive into the quarter finals because presumably, they played better football. You don't win the group by not winning games and you don't make it to the quarter finals without winning the match in the Round of 16.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Too late
Remember the “narcissistic” picture of moi I posted on this forum?
I sent it to a couple jolie dames in private messages, only I included the bottom part as well.

This is a loaded question. The permit itself shouldn't be expensive in the grand scheme of things, perhaps having the staff to do it all would be. In the UK should be similar to EU, anyone can...
