    ... Oh my. Can England play out the completest great escape from a boring draw ever?

     

    edit: To explain: First four days of the Pakistan vs England test match (played in the UAE because of the instability in Pakistan) was boring as hell. Pitch wasn't doing much of anything, so the bowlers were just toiling for ages with little result. Pakistan scored 523/8 (declared), and England went better then that, 593/9 (declared). So the first four days plus a bit of the fifth day saw 1116 runs scored and 17 wickets taken.. and there was no odds that you could get that the match would end in anything but a draw. But Pakistan go gillooly in the fifth day, and collapse to 173 all out in their second innings. It gave England a chance if they could score fast enough to score an unlikely win (needing 99 in scheduled 20 or so overs).. but sadly, bad light forced the game to a premature end with 25 runs to get.

     

    Boring first four days, insane last day.

    USA beating up Cuba in Olympic Qualifying, 5-0.

     

    US qualifies for the semifinal with a win.

     

    Canada will likely need a draw against Cuba in the final stage to get in the semifinal as well.

     

    The final two teams qualify, and third place playoff winner goes into a qualifier

    Newcastle score the first, and looked to be taking a 1-0 lead in to halftime.

     

    Then Sergio Aguero happened

     

    Aguero 42' 1-1

    Aguero 49' 2-1 Manchester City

    Aguero 50' 3-1 

    (De Bruyne 53) 4-1

    Aguero 59' 5-1

    Aguero 60' 6-1

     

    So, five goals in 18 minutes. Impressive. Not quite a full Lewandowski, but I think a .9 Lewandowski.

    Canada gave em a run, but Italy wins.

     

    England are on lifesupport after declining a last minute penalty that would've drawn the game and kept them in front of Wales, and when they failed to score, will likely need to beat the Aussies to advance

    My quick review of Blood Bowl II

     

    If you've played the Blood Bowl series, it's got a massive graphical upgrade. Still some AI issues, but that's to be expected. Disappointing to only have 8 races at launch (two, Wood Elves and Lizardmen will be DLC shortly after release, and you get one free if you preordered), compared to the 20+ of Blood Bowl Chaos Edition, but I can understand that not every coach will want every team. As long as you can play AGAINST those teams without having to buy, I'm fine with it.

     

    Other notes.

     

    The Campaign is mostly aimed at new players, as the first four matches introduce various things to the new coach (the stats, making blocks, etcetera).

     

    I do like the fact that scripted events happen in the campaign (for example, in one of the early games:

     

    Ogre Mobsters unhappy with one of your team's star players incite the crowd to invade the pitch repeatedly


     

    I also set up a competition which can be done in single player or multiplayer mode. Maybe we'll set up a small DVDVR competition if other folks buy it
