@geeeeee Next up the stress of watching an England tournament game Yeah that was a quick demise from Southend from a couple of years ago. I was looking at the National League the other day, it's like Div 4 from years back with the likes of Stockport, Torquay, Wrexham and so on! As to the anxieties I think possibly the promotion one's, possibly because the last day one's have fortunately turned out well, sometimes from seemingly impossible positions!
br0ther

we have, how do i put it
actually fun and enjoyable vidya games
been playing a couple exhibition games on literal vanilla PES 5 recently on evenings and it just doesn't get old
come now join the cult!

Ha haML Default Team after losing D2 Cup Round 1 to AC Czech, colorized (circa 2005)
I used to get really nervous when England were playing in World Cup’s etc…
I remember even crying (Gazza’s tears) when they were knocked out of 1990 World Cup. But i was only young then and used to watch all the build up, training sessions, etc…
But in 2004 some changes were made in my life (sounds deep i know) and i managed to root out any nationalistic pride that i had in life and also during national games.
So thankfully i avoid those feelings now during World Cups etc…but still get it bad during club games.
So the last two quarter final matches of the EUROs. Sorry @Flipper the Priest I didnt mean it to clash with your one. Interestingly, Denmark have already got the semis and England are featured in the quarters. Pretty similar to your tournament.
Spain (me) v England
Poland (me) v Italy
One thing a little annoying is that the team line up is not always shown during the build up to the matches. So I have to record the formation screen instead.
@Flipper the Priest the timing of this mate,my gf who works in Copenhagen just sent me this fine representation of a stellar Dane.
Got your red and white dynamite right there!

Ha ha i believe you.I'm from Scotland, remember. He's an Adonis by our standards. Pretty sure - statistically speaking - Scotland is the fattest country in Europe.

I agree!John Jensen's let himself go.
@geeeeee I must admit I struggle to get interested in the National team now, generally full of players who because they play in the Premier League think they are way better than they are. I always say let's imagine for a moment that all the money goes to the Spanish League and all the wealthiest and so called 'big' clubs are in Spain, exactly how many English players would be signed by those clubs? Very few.
Hell yeah!I'd probably agree say my own national team fans are not my cup of tea, either (there's something about getting all American'd up that these days seems cringey).
I must say though the expectation for the 2018 WC was at an all time low, no one expected us to get out of the group stages, then there we were in the semis. That'll be about another 20 years before the next one then.
I like how the final is at Wembley.. Shame we wont be there As you say Germany usually win. Take the 2002 WC qualifiers, when we beat Germany 5-1 in
Remember that game, so nice I have some sort of "support" for Liverpool I've always considered that Germany 1-5 Liverpool@rockstrongo

Munich, who at the time were pretty bad, but still managed to qualify and finished runners up. Got to be worth an e/w bet for euro20202021.
5th image in 1st line, from left to right, is a sepia alternation of Athenakos (aka Panathinaikos FC), the rest are too small and i cannot figure out, i think the 2nd one is Club Brugge???I was looking through the PES 5 files recently because I wanna learn how to edit them and going through flag files has revealed some interesting neat thingies.
First of all I think they were going for PES 3/4 flag format at first - there are files with 22x15 and 64x48 resolution. What truly peaked my interest is teams in Others A, there's so many different things in there I compiled some interesting ones on a very quick graphic:

What could the other teams be? I wish we could find out 🐑
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

As for Arsenal/Chelsea, North London/London FC i assume they did the preparation, in case they could not obtain the official license for them. The same for Djurgadren possibly?
Fun fact: Golympiacos seems more accurate for Olympiakos than Peloponissos, cause Pelopnissos is a different geographic region. To give you an example is like you want to name a team from London with a fake name, and you name them Yorkshire!
After a quick Google search, to check whats acronym and initialism in English language, it is an Acronym. It is pronounced as it is written exaclty , as one word, AEK (Alpha-Echo-Kilo), with the intonation in A, like "ÁEK".On Greek team names, I meant to pick your brain after hearing something during FA Cup final commentary.
AEK Athens, for example. Is it an acronym or initialism? I've always thought the latter, and pronounced the letters individually, "ey ee kay Athens". But I've heard people - like the commentator today - pronounce it as a word ie "Ike Athens". Which is correct?
I may have asked this before and forgotten the answer! It's relevant to clubs in other countries if others want to jump in on the AIKs or CSKAs of this world!

CSKA we greeks prounce it similar as you said, "tse-se-kά". DHL we spell it in english initials, "dee-eytsch-elll"well thats konami for you innit
at least they tried! better than xoaquaiovoyi and other arlstgdnsoha crap. I also thought Golympiacos logo looks a bit nicer, colour wise.
Would be quite a big thing to have your fake name changed mid-series, only example I can think of is Bayern going from Rekordmeister (what a name) to Isar in PES 5.
With CSKA and other teams from the Slav Zone I believe it's always individual letters. Mind you there will still be massive difference in pronunciation as the sounds are just incredibly different. CSKA would be, IIRC, in Russian, tse-es-ka-a, but Russian's bit different to Polish so might be wrong.
Sometimes acronym turns into a nickname. Several Polish teams with GKS (Mining Sports Club) change fro gie-ka-es (letters) to gieksa, lots easier to pronounce I suppose.
Either way it can get weird between languages. I remember trying to explain someone at work that I worked at DHL before. For me it's de-ha-el so I said that and they just look funny at me. Then I realized it's probably dee - eytsch - ell and lo and behold it was.
TL;DR willing to bet 99% of the time its individual letters in Slavic countries.
Sankt Pauli!Finally, since we got the education sessions, FC St. PAULI is fully named Saint Pauli or Sankt Pauli as it is spelled in wikipedia? Is "Saint Pauli" correct
pronounce?
