Meh. Whoever won the World Cup is irrelevant. The bashing on RSS would happen anyway. In fact, the feeling here is that this year it has been softer than it would have been had a more polarazing team won (cough cough Italy cough cough). If this means this group is disfunctional, so be it. In fact, a fair case could be made in this regard. It has nothing to do with Spain winning or the reactions to it, though. > Instead, we hear about how the Spanish squad is "defensive", "a bunch of > divers" LOL Some very good arguments have been made in favor of and against the Spanish style and tactics. Some fair points have also been made about their cleanness or lack thereof. And yes, some senseless stuff has been busted out as well. All in all, another regular workday on Usenet.

From: KaiserD2 on 13 Jul 2010 08:27 I agree with the original poster and also have to say that the general level of the discussion is much lower than in either 2002 or 2006. Since I disappear between major events I think I can be trusted on that one. And while we're about that. . . . .there's the mystery of ms. Barrett. I remember she claimed to be a med student, and therefore, would now be a doctor. But a google search comes up empty (except for RSS) which seems to me impossible for an actual doctor. Curioser and curioser, as they say. . .

Since I disappear between major events I think I can be trusted > on that one. Seems the same to me. You always get trolls and newbs during the major tournaments and now we have the Bob creature. I could be wrong but posters like Werner, Clarkoo and Jordi were more vocal than in the past. I enjoyed reading their posts and the tactical discussions were excellent. You will not find this level of discussion anywhere else. > And while we're about that. . . . .there's the mystery of ms. > Barrett.

The general tone was much much more childish four years ago at this tine. > All in all, another regular workday on Usenet. True that. |
