The captain of the UK team was caught cheating with another game site and will be forced to give up the captain's armband.

The Italian newspaper “La Gazzetta dello Sport” asked the Italian federation not to send any team to SST3 in order not to embarass the nation. The newspaper also pointed out how they are helping the environment by reusing the same negative articles they used before the 1982 and 2006 World Cups.

Domenech has declared that the French team stands a good chance to win the whole thing as two of the players are scorpios, one is cancer, and one is leo. He also suggested that French players wear gloves in order not to leave fingerprints on the ball.

When notified that Argentina was not included in SST3, Diego Maradona called Blatter a %$#^{%*, a #*&@#$, and a *$}&@%%. He also said he should suck his &%$#*&^.

The Irish Federation has asked FIFA to include Ireland in SST3 as the 33rd team.

An estimated 331,492 journalists will follow Brazil's games. It is believed that 45% of them will criticize the coach, 32% will criticize the team, and the rest will criticize both.

When notified that two U.S. teams are favorite to win SST3, President Obama said he was not surprised, then asked, “How do you play soccer, again?”

FIFA declared that the draw was fair and square. On an unrelated subject, he also announced that the model who performed the draw lost one hand to frostbite and was hospitalized with first degree burns on the other hand.

The Gay and Lesbian Federation said that they will support “Spain is Different.” Not that there is anything wrong with that.

The Asian Confederation has demanded that the number of Asian teams in the next SST tournament be doubled.

LOL! I had never paid any attention at all to any soccer World Cup, but if I had known it came with such great hoopla, I would have.

este deberia haber sido posteado en el PRESS CENTER…

pero..ya paso …da igual.

LOL! The media reaction to the Brazilian team is absolute gold! 8-)

Yes, the drums are singing the songs… Brasil, Brasil, Brasil, it is going to be gold again :)

I would have said that Obama's quote was “Yes, we can!“… ;)

Hahahahaha! Fantastic!

“The captain of the UK team was caught cheating with another game site and will be forced to give up the captain's armband.”

The Captain of Team UK (and Ireland) is from what I have heard is honest, intelligent, witty, kind hearted and a man of great integrity. Such reports I am sure have no basis in truth. Who is the Captain anyway?

“The Irish Federation has asked FIFA to include Ireland in SST3 as the 33rd team.”

No need - they are already represented as part Team UK and Ireland.

“Yes we can” is the motto for the combined USA/Bob the Builder team.

I knew one jokes about Polish people in the Ireland :D

The latest poll taken by the Government asked people who live in Ireland

if they think Polish immigration is a serious problem:

23% of respondents answered: Yes, it is a serious problem.

77% of respondents answered: Absolutnie zaden. To nie jest powazna kwestia. (what in polsish means “Absolutely not. This is not a serious problem.“)

So it's probably that even if there will be 33rd team - it will be more Polish anyway ;)

Hehe, my typos are also fun. “I knew one jokes” lol

Cheating, doping, illegal immigrants, astrology, models meeting (Brazilian) players and no news about the real scandal of SSTT3:

Some teams have hidden that they have female players in their team! Many thinks (Looser grammar) this is unacceptable but FIFA has officially accepted the rosters and cannot take back this puclicly announced and world wide advertised decision without serious legal and economic implications…

What is the problem of female players in the team? ;)

They distract the nerds. ;-)

btw, lol @“Looser grammar” :-D

I wouldn't know (what the problem is).

You have to ask FIFA about that :)

no problem, only fun while change of trikot :-)

11 days with no news is a loooong time …

What happened to the journalists?

They watch OG in Vancouver, I guess :-)

Belgium still best team in Tournament!

A look at the team statistics currently still shows

Best teams by match points

1. Belgium

They keep this title for two weeks now, since the beginning of the tournament. This overall gold title is even more astonishing as the don't show up in any of these other narrow-minded stats for this and that.

There are rumors heard this has to do with the fact that a team from Andorra was not admitted, but there's no evidence. shinnosuke from Andorra joined a world wide strike and uses a Catalan flag to express his protest.

However, the “World Wide Strikers” deserve to be listed as the worst team, if this “Best teams by match points” stats were expanded to 32 entries.

Let's see if they manage to improve and show up in the top 10 teams some day …

not sure if free space on the web is suitable for such historical documents

Striking news:

Hungary refuses to play against Spain!

Just one lone hungarian soul has the guts to show up in the round that sees the Spanish Bulls battle Hungary. Will Reemi win all his games and make the spanish players look like they are on a siesta?

(or has someone messed up the team statistics page? ;)

Striking news:

Hungarian strategy revealed

Rumors say, Ernő Rubik, the famous inventor of the Rubic Cube, is sponsoring the Hungarian team. All members are on a trainings camp in a non-disclosed area.

One member, by means of using state of the art HSPA mobile technology, keeps connected in order to analyze the playing strategy of their opponents.

Puskas' country would never refuse to play against the country of his favorite team, Real Madrid :-)

Puskas became a spanish citizen in 1962, and played 4 games for the spanish national team. Three of these were in the world cup in 1962 :-)

Striking news:

World Wide Strikers seize title “Best Team by Match Points”

With Mojmir's statistics update of February 28, 2010 20:09:21 GMT+1

the World Wide Strikers advance from position 32 to 1

They now are 3 matchpoints ahead of their next follower, Belgium.

But the tournament is not yet decided and there sure will be more movement in these statistics tables.

I have played all my games :)

Are there more players who only can hope and wait?

I wish my opponents were that fast.

where can I see the results?

thanks

SSTT-3 Results

Group 4 is almost done :)

1. German Golems

2. USA B

3. Norway

4. Nederland-East

The games aren't finished, but the results are almost for sure. (only USA vs Nederland-East could be different, but the chance is 1% or something like that :P )

Many matches have been decided in group 6 as well.

Quiz

A: which game has the biggest score?

B: which game has the biggest goal difference?

C: which game ended with 0-0 after 72 moves?

C. One of mine :P

I guess the highest scoring game also involves a French player, doesn't it?

Highest score could be me vs. IRI. the score was 7:6. 13 goals.

Biggest score could also be one of the 8 : x games.

8 : 2 gid=1159481, which is winner in quiz B as well, or

3 : 8 gid=1166288

C has two solutions, currently

more are possible in the future

As the captain of a not-so-mighty team I humbly inquire how often is miuek's SSTT3 page refreshed?

Hi FC Malaj,

I am trying to refresh result pages every evening (CEST+1), however there are delays in some cases (not at home, too lazy :-) etc)

Good luck in SSTT3

Thanks! Actually, it is good to see two of my better victories among the latest results. We might not be mighty but we are not losers either :-)

Cosmo vs. Spain (Group 1) comes down to the last game.

Cosmo leads 39-36

Nevermind (Cosmo) and Diamante (Spain) are tied 1-1 after 28 moves.

Winner of this match will probably finish in 2nd place and advance (loser eliminated).

NO PRESSURE!

We will have the following point distribution in group 3:

6 Canada/Albania

6 Switzerland

3 Romania

3 Italia B

What will decide who is first, the match Canada/Albania - Switzerland or won games : lost games?

Sorry, I finally found it:

(6) Position in the group is determined by (1)points, (2)total scores difference, (3) higher goals scored, (4)the result/s between interested teams;

First group finished Preliminary round

Group 7 finished their last game today. Congratulations to the winner: World Wide Strikers.

With the last game, lolkalolka won another 5 game points for Poland B.

The second place in group 7 remains with the team Italy A, who have 4 game points more than Poland B.

Groups 4 and 6 are nealy finished as well …

I would like to deny all allegations that the only time I've let in goals is when my hugely fat bastard of a goal keeper, who seems to take up 2 squares, waddles off to grab a few more buns. This cannot be true, as in some matches there were no buns available, only doughnuts.

Buns… isn't that what Princess Leia uses as earmuffs?

Nope, that's Danish pastries. However, my goalie has been known to be tempted by those too.

Hungary will advance into the playoffs! The total underdogs! Who would have thought that! Yess! :D

Which also means that we will play against the biggest favorite of this Team Tournament, USA A… Nice, we will be beaten in front of the watching world! :D

Two places / One decission left :

USA A vs. Hungary (except resign)

Switzerland vs. USA B

Poland A vs. Nederland-Southwest

World Wide Strikers vs. Czechia+Slovakia or Poland C (with zsom reaching 9 out of 10 left points)

Cosmo vs. Saturn Intergalactics

Canada / Albania vs. German Golems

Slovenia vs. D-BMMB

Italia A vs. German-BSW

=> Impressive Offense by D-BMMB and Nederland-Southwest

=> Impressive Defense by Poland A and German Golems

=> So, there is the Offense-Defense match between

Poland A and Nederland-Southwest

=> I think it is good to see that there won't be a national final

=> What are the betting quotes in London ? (@quartastella)

=> What game had the most spectators ? (perhaps clicks over result page?)

=> Will we start next round after all games or as soon as the last 2 teams are sure ?

2010-02-05, quartastella:

“An estimated 331,492 journalists will follow Brazil's games. It is believed that 45% of them will criticize the coach, 32% will criticize the team, and the rest will criticize both.”

And with good reason, it seems. Brazil makes sensational news by allowing 65 game points to USA A and losing to all three teams in its qualifying group. Brazil might not be able to edge out Belgium as the worst team in the Third SSTT.

And it also seems that none of the two Spanish teams will advance into the Playoffs, while all three German teams will. Now that should make headlines, too.

These were the quotes I posted before the tournament started (Feb. 5th):

4/1 USA A

5/1 USA B

5/1 Poland A

9/1 D-BMMB

12/1 Saturn Intergalactics

12/1 Switzerland

14/1 Finland

14/1 Italia A

28/1 Germany BSW

28/1 Poland C

40/1 UK & Ireland

50/1 Spain is Different

66/1 Hungary

66/1 Romania

80/1 Spanish Bulls

80/1 Canada/Albania

80/1 Slovenia

80/1 Cosmo

100/1 USA D

125/1 Nederlands Northwest

125/1 Belgium

125/1 France

150/1 Norway

200/1 Nederlands Southwest

200/1 German Golems

200/1 World Wide Strikers

250/1 Czechia+Slovakia

250/1 Poland B

250/1 Italia B

750/1 USA C-

1000/1 Nederlands East

2000/1 Brazil

Looks like I got the first six out of six and eight of the top nine (maybe nine of the top ten if Poland C makes it). The biggest disappointment (in my opinion) was Finland with the Czechoslovakians pulling (maybe) the biggest surprise.

I'll post the quotes for the second round when all match-ups are determined.

Don'forget about World Wide Strikers whose 1st placein group 7 is according these quotes as surprising as Finland or Czechoslovakians…-)

Don'forget about World Wide Strikers whose 1st placein group 7 is according these quotes as surprising as Finland or Czechoslovakia…-)

Well, everything is known now. The last team which got promoted is Czechia+Slovakia. I'll try to sum everything soon and put the schedule of next round matches on the forum. I think it will be done at the beginning of the next week.

Czechia+Slovakia qualified to the next round as a lowest seeded from promoting teams (except resign or lose on time)

yippee !!!

Actually, Slovenia was the lowest seeded (28th) among the teams to advance in the next round. Czecho+Slovakia was 25th. Congrats to both of your teams, anyway!

Among other lower seeded teams that managed to advance are WorldWideStrikers (23rd), Netherland-Southwest (21st), and Hungary (18th) :-)

And it seems Poland C is the highest seeded team (9th) that could not make it to the second round. UK&Ireland (10th), Finland (11th), Netherlands-Northwest (12th), and Spanish Bulls (15th) also dropped out.

Sorry, I relied on the order posted by quartastella 2010-05-07 (6 post before).

And also congrats all teams that promote to the next round

It is now official that only Ray Garrison and Diamante are holding up the start of the next round. Or can we start it anyway?

Closest matches of first round:

USA D 41, Nederland-Northwest 39 (Romania advances instead of Nederland)

UK & Ireland 41, Italia A 39 (Italia still advances in 3-way tie for 2nd place)

World Wide Strikers 41, UK & Ireland 39 (Italia advances instead of UK/Ireland)

World Wide Strikers 41, Italia A 39 (both still advance)

Czechia+Slovakia 41, Poland C 39 (Czech/Slov advance instead of Poland)

Saturn Intergalactics 41, Spanish Bulls 38 (three-way tie on 6 points if Spanish Bulls had won)

World Wide Strikers 42, Poland B 38 (Italia advances instead of Poland)

German Golems 42, USA B 38 (battle for first place; both advance)

Hungary 43, Spanish Bulls 37 (Hungary advances to 2nd round instead of Spanish)

Hungary 43, USA C- 37 (USA winless, Hungary advance with 6 points)

Cosmo 43, Spain is Different 37 (Cosmo advances to 2nd round instead of Spain)

Canada/Albania 43, Romania 37 (Can/Alb advances to 2nd round instead of Romania)

German-BSW 43, France 37 (Germany advances to 2nd round instead of France)

@Nevermind:

According to Looser's last post (2010-05-21 ) it's Looser himself who delays the start of the next round ;)

Let's hope it's not the current big flood in Poland that causes this delay.

Sorry guys for a delay. I haven't had a lot of time lately, only for automatically clicking my moves. But today I'll send to captains messages with instructions who should invite who. The schedule of the 1/8 final round right under.

1/8 Final Round

USA A(1A) vs. Hungary(2B)

Saturn Intergalactics(1B) vs. Canada/Albania(2C)

Switzerland(1C) vs. USA B(2D)

German Golems(1D) vs. Slovenia(2E)

Poland A(1E) vs. Nederland-southwest(2F)

D-BMMB(1F) vs. Italia A(2G)

World Wide Strikers(1G) vs. Czechia+Slovakia(2H)

German-BSW(1H) vs. Cosmo(2A)

It seems that the match between my team Poland A and Nederland-Southwest will be the hardest of all according to the statistics. I'm curious how our great defence will manage with finest offence. Good luck to all.

Piotr aka Looser

PS: I'm wondering how RoRoRo will predict the winners :P

A nice variation of the FIFA mode, avoiding the national conflict

1B (Intergalactic) - 2A (Cosmo)

Looking forward to the 1/8 final round !

I bet Hungary will have an easy win against USA A and Czechia-Slovakia against World Wide Strikers :-)

So who is the best individual player of the preliminary round? The statistics on miuek's SSTT3 page is not immediately clear on this.

I've just noticed that I paired teams wrong according to my last post here. Of course correct paring of 1/8 final are based on FIFA scheme as we decided and looks like:

USA A (1A) - Hungary (2B)

Switzreland (1C) - USA B (2D)

Poland A (1E) - Nederland-Southwest (2F)

World Wide Strikers (1G) - Czechia+Slovakia (2H)

Saturn Intergalactics (1B) - Cosmo (2A)

German Golems (1D) - Canada/Albania (2C)

D-BMMB (1F) - Slovenia (2E)

German-BSW (1H) - Italia B (2G)

The scheme of the next rounds you may see here.

Sorry for my mistake.

Good luck

There is a mistake again. Of course not Italia B, but Italia A. Forgive me.

Hungary leads 15-5 against the Dream Team of USA!

Toughest fight: Saturn Integalactics - Cosmo 35-35 and 2 games in moves 46-48 …

The Dream team USA, don't they play superstar street basketball tm?

Miuek's page is blocked by different filters (e.g. NoScript, WOT), probably because freelinuxhost goes through pages with dubious trustworthyness.

Is there any available mirror to see the results?

Hi all,

as Nevermind mentioned, it is not possible to access freelinuxhost site anymore.

Do you know about free web hosting with ftp access ? Pages are pure html, I need for hosting 10 MB space only

Mojmir

I have plenty of space left with my ISP for adding some more pages, but unfortunately I cannot give you access to my account. What I can do is to give you an ftp account to my ftp server, and I'll upload it then to my webspace. Not an ideal solution, but it may serve as an intermediate one

Thanks Richard.

I have uploaded files few minutes ago, could you upload them to your webspace, please ? Please let us know the URL for the pages

Thanks again

Mojmir

Congrats to Calle and the Saturn Intergalactics!

Hello, sorry for the intrusion. I just want to tell you that it's going to start a new Street Soccer Tournement, called LCL (Littlegolem CHAMPIONS LEAGUE).

We will create many private User Tournements, hopefully one for each country. Best players will be promoted to LCL. Every game will be RATED.

If you are interested, join us in LCL topic, in Street Soccer Forum.

Thank you for attention - bye!

Will Hungary score in the last minute agenst USA for extra time?

http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=1200838

33% chance for a 5 or a 6. More at 6.

Unfortunately I rolled a four… So everything depends on my last push against the savior of the Dream Team USA, Steven Pedlow.

1:1 in las game:D

So If USA win last game it will be

draw 40:40

and the same number of goals

26:26?

It is very close. You may be right, because with Ray Garrison's win against me the match stands at 39:36 for us, while the goal difference at zero (25:25).

With my equalization against Steven Pedlow, the goal difference is 26:25 for us. There are three options left: the match could be 40:40, if he wins 4-1 with one last goal, and the goal difference would be 26:26 – complete draw. The second possible outcome is that no one scores any more, which makes the match 42:38 for us, clear victory, with a +1 goal difference remaining(26:25). The third alternative is that I score the last goal, which makes the contest even clearer (43:37, 27:25).

So the big question, what happens if the first outcome is realized, that is the complete draw (40:40, 26:26)?

I think we, as total underdogs, deserve the victory. Full stop :-)

hehe :P penalty kicks :P

@FC Malaj:

Now ( after Steven's 56.1 ) you should finish immediately.

prob is 4/6 for you.

If you don't get it, you don't deserve it, even as total underdog ;)

Good luck !

Does This link allow you to have a look at your game as a visitor, without rolling the dice? Rolling dice properly requires full mental concentration, so feel free to prepare …

MichalX you sound a bit patronizing. The whole communication about the lack of tie-breaker rules was before Steven Pedlow made his 56. move, that is about 13 hours ago.

I hope that when Malaj goes online he will indeed score that last goal because he deserves it :-/

Anyway, this case shows that there is a need to make rules about tiebreaking that will have to be voted on.

Hollo, thanks for bringing up the word “patronizing”.

I looked it up and: you're right ;)

I came to this forum topic to announce our victory against the top favorite USA A, but I did not know that I could not score without the expert guidance of Michael X. My humble thanks go to you, Michael!

So the big news is that HUNGARY ADVANCES TO THE QUARTERFINALS!

Against all odds, none of the American or Polish teams could make it into the Top Eight. Instead, such underdogs as Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Slovenia have made their way to the elite and, together with the German teams, form a very strong Central European core in the quarterfinals.

Congrats!!! and thank you very much for eliminating the team with the greatest slowcoaches! Now the tournament will probably be finished in this decade!:-)

No doubt, Ray Garrison is the most circumspect and scrupulous player. His results speak for his style! But, I agree, we can speed it up now :-)

Congrats to Hungary! You all played well. The only game I won was against FC Malaj by the score of 3-2, a very close game. My other three games that I lost, I only gave up a total of 4 goals!! I lost 1-0 to Reemi in regulation, I lost 2-1 to Hollo in 60 moves, and I lost 1-0 to chianti in 69 moves!! Three very tough losses for me and for team USA, but Hungary deserves their win! Good luck in the next round!

Thank you Ray, all games were quite tough and all victories were hard fought, with strong defenses on both sides. No wonder it took a long time to finish the games.

I am one of the slower players, I'll admit, but Rumpelfamilie will be disappointed to find out that it was the 2nd slowest team eliminated. More than one Hungary player hadn't sent or responded to any invitations more than two weeks after the playoffs started (and after the first game finished!). It is no coincidence that the last two games both involved FC Malaj (with the two opponents being two of the other slowest players).

True enough, Steven, that I started out my games late because of some work deadlines and I lost many vacation days in the first half of the summer. But I made my moves rather fast in August :-)

We were lucky to start out with steve1964 who was in a hurry and we all finished our games against him at the beginning of July (15-5). Then came Phlegm who finished his games by the end of July (I was the first to win against him). We then stood at 26-16. And in an almost orchestrated manner, when steve1964 and Phlegm finished, you and Ray started to speed up your games. You almost won the whole match for USA singlehandedly but ray was a bit out of form. You two balanced out each other quite nicely. It was an interesting choreography.

Anyway, these games were quite exciting with lots of twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

I dont want to offend you, Steven! All I want to say is that I would rather play the whole tournament twice than spending double time for one. SSTT3 started in February(!), it runs like chewing gum. You dont have the feeling of one great event that I rather would like to have. In a foreign language argueing sometimes sounds a bit hard. I have a good dictionary but I dont know the connotation of slowcoach, in German we have a special term for this called Schlafmuetze, literally translated as sleepcap :-)! Its a harmless and friendly expression!

One important reason for slower transatlantic games is the difference in time of course! And as a top-of-the-pop-player you can certainly play as you like!

By the way, congrats for winning the championship!

Best wishes

Rumpelfamilie

Thanks, Rumpelfamilie. I'm definitely not offended. I wish our match with Hungary had not lingered so far after the others. Good luck to all in the quarterfinals and beyond.

next round start?

Invitations may start now. The Quarterfinals have begun!

Yes, good luck to all.

And please sign the petition for proof cameras, those referees were too blind in the recent street soccer games.

First team advances to Halffinals: German-BSW

Lets have fun in the next games - Looser, its your turn ;)

Please !!!

Don't let us wait until the last move in overtime.

I'm on fire to fight for the final !!!

and the last move has been played - both players had a 50% chance in the overtime but could not score. So the game ended 0:0.

grats again to Switzerland :)

You can find the links to our matches and the final results of the games in my profile as well

What is with the Nederlands and the Swiss? Do you wanna wait for an official post or start? Both is fine for me.

Okey guys,

First very sorry for not responding and I'd like to apologize to you guys. I told muggel_b that would handle the next round, but it was a while ago (over a week I think). I only say that I was really busy.

I gave a look to a Talizess's 1/2 Final post above and the scheme he used is a little bit noncompliant with a scheme I always use. But the differences are very slight. For example in my scheme Manou should invite klaash and Gerard, neptun should invite Willem and Richard and so on. Anyway if you have started your games there is no need to reschedule the games and the round may go on.

If any of you have a gmail account and want to have access to SSTT3 documents with schemes, rounds…, please send me a message and I'll join you and share them with you.

If not I will add the numbers of the games to the document used by miuek's to update his result page.

Regards

Piotr aka Looser

Tnx. My invites are out.

Thanks, mine are out too and were already accepted:

1278033

1278145

but I haven't received any invitations yet.

German Semifinal is going into decisive phase. Standing is 25:25 and 5 of the 6 open matches are undecided in the moment.

(All the games can be seen in my profile.)

Yes, that's definately a “small final”, very exciting. :)

I have just updated result pages, it does contain semifinal games

Good luck

Mojmir

Thanks to Mojmir.

I still haven't received any invitations yet.

use this link to ivite me!

Ok, once again I head to invite the others.

Please invite via the player's profile!!!

1286352 Willem Gerritsen vs maraca

1286351 Richard Pijl vs. maraca

I shut up now.

I've sent invitations to you twice. Same method that seemed to work with all others. No clue why that didn't work with you.

Games added. Good luck

Team German-BSW advances to the Final!

Grats to my team and thx to the Golems for the interesting and close fight!

congrats :)

If nobody in the Swiss team times out, Switzerland is in the final too. 40 points are sure then and at least 1 extra comes from neptun vs. klaashaas, so goals doesn't matter. Even if one game seems still not started yet.

has #1799821 (Willem Gerritsen - Neptun) been added already?

No it hasn't, I get an error for this gid. You mean #1284624 ?

That's right, no idea how I came up with 1799821 :-)

Thanks Mojmir. The 3 games that I've posted here seem to be missing, they are all finished already.

The finished games 1295428, 1295275 and 1295388 should be in the battle for 3rd as well.

Thanks for notifying, problem fixed. All six mentioned games have been added.

Good luck and lot of fun for all players :-)

just for the stats: the semifinal match Willem Gerritsen vs neptun is also missing. It was game #1284624. thx Mojmir :)

I was on vacation, but I am back now and started my games, as well as asking my team members to start any remaining matches. Sorry for the delay and good luck to all players still playing in the tournament. :)

Thanks for notifying, muggel_b. Game added

Decisive phase in the final:

Germany-BSW has now 29:26 points, 1 game is in over-time, Tali leads two times (2:0 and 2:1) and the team scored 5 goals more by now.

I think we should keep the beer cold now and someone can get the t-shirts with “SSTT3 Winner” out of the bus…

Some minutes left, but I think it is impossible for neptun to make 2 goals in regular time. The only thing that could stop us, is that Marc or me have an accident. Hopefully that won't happen, so, I'm sure Marc and me will finish the games.

I am ready to paaarty !

Me too :)

New Champion: German-BSW! Strike!

Tali rocks the final with amazing 19 points!

I also thank the other team members Toledus and Marc - great sport ;-)

And also thx to Looser and Mojmir for organising the tournament :)

Congrats!

Congrats

nice!

Congratulations to the champion team German-BSW and its members muggel_b, Marc74, Talizess and Toledus!

congrats :-)

thx :)

@Mojmir: Can you please check the homepage - for me it is not working (“Please come back in the begining of Dec to this page. It is curently not available.“).

Congratulations to the champion team German-BSW!

Thnx to all for organizing and partizipating in this great tournament !

I had a lot of fun, challenging and thrilling games.

Also at this point a special thanks to Cwali creating this fantastic game !!

Although it is only luck and cheating ;-) (- something for the press guys)

I wanna say “thank you” also to my sponsors,my family,…. - oh - that was my text for an other event…

Cu in 4 years (or how often are world championships/SSTTs ?)

Congrats guys !

Thx to my team Maraca, Neptun and Manolsson !

Does the BSW in “German-BSW” stand for Baeyer-Sud-West?

no, it's their sponsor BSW (http://www.bsw.com/). With those salaries, you need a strong partner to manage it…

muggel_b: Thanks for notifying. It seems there are some problems with webhosting, I am going to check some offers in few days

Hehe Aganju ;)

BSW is Brettspielwelt (www.brettspielwelt.de), where you can play real time about 70 Boardgames.

We know each other from there.

Mojmir: if you ftp the page to me, I'll refresh it on my site as well:

@Richard: page ftp-ed, thanks :-)

Mojmir: For the consolation final there are some games missing. The profile of figilano contains references to all games in this match. Could you add them to your page?

Battle for 3rd place - all games

I need to win all three open matches for the German Golems to avoid an easy defeat. :P

@Richard: Thanks for notifying, games were added and page ftp-ed to your server

Unfortunately I'm away for two days and have no access to my machine at the moment. I'll update it on the site on wednesday.

Just FYI (sorry for being OT :-) ), Monster result pages are located at http://www.mhanes.eu/molg/index.html

The FCGerard'91 : Figiliano game ended with goals 2:3 and match points 1:4.

Congratulations to Nederland-Southwest and its team members FCGerard'91, Richard Pijl, klaashaas, and Willem Gerritsen for winning 3rd place.

(Note: It seems very strange to report results 2:3 and 1:4. In America the custom is always to give the score as winning:losing. In StreetSoccer apparently the custom is yellow:red.)

You could have said “the game Figilano vs. FC Gerard ended 3 : 2” - I think the important thing is that the goals and names match regarding their position in relation to the colon. ;)

But yellow : red should always be ok.

Congrats to Netherlands-SW, it was a very close battle and fun to play. :)

When will SST4 start?
