The off topic thread

[Thistle]

Yeah we had 16 so 2 teams each. Also made it that you win some money if your country suffers the biggest defeat or are the dirtiest team (most cards) in the group stages so every nation has a chance of profiting, even Australia

 

[Loonerty]

I got Russia. The first three teams drawn were Spain, Germany, Argentina...

 

[Dirty Bird]

I did one in 2006.
Got Togo
Never again

 

[Gak Attack]

Got England and Italy in mine at work. So hopefully Suarez can't get up. We're paying for most goals conceded in group stage too.

Ouch.

My name was second out of the hat and got Spain haha was very lucky.

Just about the only bad results were people who got runner ups in weak groups.

Wow Glass, that was unexpected.

 

[strauchanie59]

Gee. Sad to see him retire but what a defender. His and Barry Hall's battles in the 05/06 years were brilliant.

Just looking at all the kickoff times for WC...I don't know how I'm not going to lose my mind with the sudden crazy changes in sleeping pattern to watch certain matches.

 

[Cruyff14]

What is sleep?

If it wasn't during exams, I would've reversed my sleeping pattern.

Look, you can all call me a bullshitter, but I have very good inside sources with word that next July Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool will all be travelling to Melbourne to play in a series of friendly matches. Similar to what happens in the USA at the moment. Manchester City are also a chance but at this stage it is those 3 mentioned. Bag me all you want, but I have very good inside sources that say it is looking very likely.

 

[Cruyff14]

Let's hope you're right!

Message to My Girl might be my favourite Split Enz/Crowded House song. Amazing.

They have penned quite a few good tracks.

I love Weather With You, Better Be Home Soon, Don't Dream It's Over (duh), Fall At Your Feet.

This is another great live performance - the whole concert is outstanding.

Who else are you into mate?

 

[Loonerty]

Who else are you into mate?

Right at the top would be Arctic Monkeys, Muse and Radiohead. Beyond those three, there's a big number. Foo Fighters are up there... really there's a lot.

Mostly newer stuff, but I grew up listening to Crowded House.

 

[Cruyff14]

I do not like Muse at all. Not really familiar with AM, Fake Plastic Trees and High and Dry by RH are fantastic.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

I got Russia and Argentina in my world cup sweep at work.

Crowded House are fantastic

Not sure what you'd think of AM, I feel like you might like some stuff from their new album more than their earlier stuff. Do I Wanna Know? is a good place to start.

I absolutely ****ing love them, speaking of good songwriters Alex Turner is up there.

I think I've heard some of their songs, and didn't mind them.

Fleetwood Mac

It's OK. Doesn't do much for me, though.

Tempted to flip my sleep pattern to sleep at 8-1am or something to get through work AND watch the knock out matches once exams finish.
