Feh, during the 2002 FIFA World Cup I was supporting both Portugal and Japan.

Mainly because of the Captain Tsubasa/Oliver Atton animes, the very beautiful japanese kit, and also because of Hidetoshi Nakata (one of my idols).

I always liked my hair in the military style, but, in that summer I kept it growing and changed into Hide's colour. :pinch:

Hey my girlfiend is one of the top officials on Asian Cup organizing comittee!!! I don't mean to brag or anything but the whole thing would fall apart without her :p. She has been very busy. ALL the teams officials call her with every little minor detail as well as the reffs and the Chinese press. It's cool though because we can go to any of the games for free. If anyone in China is going, I'll see you at the opening cerimonies!!!

Inside news? I dunno. I'll ask her if there is anything interesting when she's home from work in a few hours. As far as exlusive pics, probably once the tourney starts. In a few nights we will go out to a dinner and the princes of Saudi Arabia will be there. Pretty cool :)

Well I have bad news for u..

No Cheerleaders in Soccer.. yet! Maybe in the future.. tell your GF to give them the suggestion :)

Here is the Asian Cup Prediction Game guys:

:cry: Damn, I was getting really excited. Asked her about inside info and she said a few things that are not interesting and not worth posting. Sorry. Mostly she just complains about her co-workers and what things they do :p. I'll give her the link and ask her to spread it arround the office. Not all of them speak very good English though so we'll see ;)

MetaLRasaM,

And his scoring abilities are not bad.. He started scoring headers this season which he has never done before.. He is improving!

Well I went to the opening cerimonies and the first game between China and Bahrain. I met the president of FIFA!!! I was in the VIP section so I was with all those important people like top Chinese government officials and the AFC officials. I also met some players from Indonesia. The opening cerimonies were pretty boring and the game was just ok. I was reminded of why I don't like soccer much :p. I'll be going to more games though and hopefully I can get into it. I don't have hockey here so I need a sport to enjoy ;)

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
