Football (soccer) important national games.
by Spinnaker1981- 11 replies
- 1.2k views
I have noticed I am not the only one that enjoys football here. Our own national teams are the ones that really lighten our hearts and their wins brighten our days. This thread is for all those games that are not big European or world games but that are important for us locally (not only in Portugal, but wherever you are, whatever teams you support). Today is a big game day here in Portugal. The 2 biggest teams will play for the championship (whoever wins will most likely be the next Portuguese champion). 2 points separate first and second, Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Futebol Clube do Porto, in Benfica´s home. 4 matches to be played …

SO what do you do for fun when not playing video games? For me. at one time I was a paintball player, semi pro in fact in early 2000's, but a severe knee injury off field took me out of the game. I have pics I will edit in stored in the computer at work. Now I fly RC airplanes and currently working on one with an 8 foot wingspan that will look like the Sprunk version of the GTA Mallard when done. In reality it is an Extra 330 3D stunt plane. This pic is of my B-17

Last year I ran a payleague thru NFL. Com and we had a few crew members participate I then filled the league out with work colleagues. I would be more then willing to once again setup a league if we have any crew members interested. Just like last year while it is a pay league it will only be a 20 dollar fee to join and all transactions are free. Use this more as a fun league but the winner will walkway with 180 dollars and 2nd place will get there money back so 20 dollars. The league will be for 10 players and I have a PayPal account that can be used to send me your fee or if you prefer I can give you my address and it can be mailed. If the interest is there I will iron …

A lot of guys here are investing a lot of time in the creator and organising events that are worth a lot. Since I am not really the guy to invest hours and hours to contribute in that, but do take the pleasure of wasting my time in those things, this is my thing to make up for it a bit: I will give some good tips on what to bet on, on a regular base. The best bets will often not be there, as they are made on the fly in the middle of a race and change faster than I can even post them. There are still a few though where the odds don't change for hours, or even days. These will be the ones I will show. I'm sure no one will believe me that they can win money of…

Poker - Analyse my play

I thought it would be a good idea for us to post our plays and for us to analyse it and give feedback which should help us all improve over the long run. If you want, add a backstory of how the opposition has been betting so we can see the bigger picture. Please quote the persons play you're commenting on so they know they've received feedback and know which play you're taking about. What do you guys make of this play?? (Edit: it might be worth putting a poker subforum on the site as I do have a few other topics to talk about and I'm sure other would as well)

Selling RC Dragster

I have this listed on a few sites, figured I would offer to the US crew members (cost to ship across the pond safely would be quite high) It is a Megatech Dark Thunder dragster ready to run. 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds. I got it used not running, I rewound the starter and rebuilt the carburetor, runs good now. 2 speed transmission with adjustable converter (can set to launch at near zero throttle to full throttle)/ Needs and air filter, the old one was bad shape. This car has some age on it but has little use on it, plastic is all in good shape, comes with original manual. This thing is very fast and will cover alot of ground quickly,…

Ok, so I know what your thinking. "Isn't it a little early to be talking Fantasy Football Leagues Complex?" To be completely honest, it is not. Today is April 1st. April 28th, 29th, and 30th is the NFL's official draft. Plus, I only tend to get a feel for who would be interested, and also to put the idea in your heads. Let you think about a little bit. Let some of us talk trash on how you're too scared to play in a REAL MENS (or womens) LEAGUE! Just playin. On the real though, the NFL releases it's 2016 schedule here in less than three weeks also. Ok, so to the actual post.... Truelife and I have discussed the options of Fantasy Football as a crew. I…

Well, like John Miles said, 'Music was my first love and it will be my last'. Just like that. And the only sports for me is Transports, because of...being a truckdriver you know? And every now and then I like to do a bit of abseilling (rappel?) from the Euromast (spacetower) in Rotterdam. Only from a height of 100 meters so that's pretty safe. As a 48 year old drummer I've seen a lot of bands come and go (looking for a new one at this moment) but here are a few examples... https://youtu.be/5g0beME91qQ https://youtu.be/qfoCuHTQ4pk https://youtu.be/h-HEP6jZok8

A new sport in rc flying that @dead_x_12 is looking into getting involved with as he prefers quadcopters (the correct name for drones) over airplanes. Looks like fun, and has recently been picked up by ESPN and is new enough of a sport that now is the time to get in on it before a mass of wanna be's do

I saw a old post from dodge about a fantasy football league but decided to start i new one. Use this thread if you are in a league and are need members to fill it up. Or if you want to start a new one. Also use this thread to post your team and get others opinions. Its a nice spot to brag or get advice. I will start i usually do multiple leagues every year but my main league is a work league we have been doing for 10 years now. By end of season usually over 1000 dollars in the pot to be split between 1st place (70%) 2nd place(20%) and toilet bowl loser (10%). I personally have finished 1st 4 times and 2nd 3 times. So basically for 7 strait years i made championship wi…

It's an rc plane I am restoring, these have not been made since the early 80's and only came in kit form as far as I know, meaning each piece had to be glued together, much unlike the ready to fly planes of today. They are rare to see. This particular SnL has been in my barn for nearly 3 years waiting for it's time to come to fly again. I am hoping to have it up by the end of August when my flight club is having their giant scale fly in. It features a fuselage which is quite over built by today's standards (built like a tank) and an 86 inch wing that looks like you are carrying a surf board. Structurally it is very sound, a few small dings in the …

I reckon it deserves it's own thread, don't you think? French on strike, terrorist threats, drunk supporters, ... let's hope all goes well... Started with usual scenes already: What are your predictions? Who are your favourites? Without knowing results from any qualifications matches or pre-tournament friendly matches, I give best chances to Germany, Spain, France, England and Belgium with minor chances for some eastern countries like Russia, Poland and Croatia (they can do extremely well or extremely poor). Btw, is this their first Euro for for N.Ireland and Wales?

Going off the coin collecting thread, what do you collect as a hobby? Mine is RC airplanes, I'm up to 24 now, the last few are control line planes from the 70's that won't ever fly again but will be garage queens. And B17 memorabilia along with WW2 aircraft stuff. Odd maybe, but I've seen much odder.

I watch mostly Premier League, MLS, Champions League, and sometimes Bundesliga. I pull for Team USA even though they'll never win anything, LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders, and anyone playing Chelsea because I think Diego Costa is a bit of a dick.

Scale Models

My #1 hobby as a child/teen was building model cars and trucks. I would watch my dad build when I was very young. One day he bought a kit I liked at a car show. He built the axles so the wheels would roll, then gave it and his xacto knife to me and said I should finish it for him I was hooked from that first kit. Built dozens of them through the years. My parents had a freezer in the shed out side and I used it for painting. That poor freezer was a giant rainbow of various colors. I built them off and on through my 20s as time allowed. One day in 2000, I heard of a website called eBay and realized I could get all the old OOP kits I could ever want. At that point I t…

With the Tug finally added to GTAO it seems like now is the perfect time to share this with everyone. I documented this on an R/C forum years ago so I'm just going to copy it here. Well, here goes. This will be an after-the-fact build log of the Pono harbor tug from Harbor Models. I built this in 2001 and took a few photos along the way, it is still not done. I collected a lot of information on the real Pono and will include that for future modelers who would like to build this kit. The real Pono is in the Port of Honolulu, Hawaii and is operated by Sause Bros. Inc.. Man, that's gotta be a tough gig, working on a Tug in Hawaii. Below are some of her specs. …

213Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Emilia Perez (2024) dir Jaques Audiard A multi award-nominated musical about a Mexican drug baron who always felt they were a woman born in a man's body. She fakes her own death and has gender reassignment, plus a lot of other plastic surgery, to start a new, better, life in a new identify. She is assisted in all this by her lawyer, Rita and tries to re-establish some sort of relationship with her wife Jessi and kids. Emilia is played by Karla Sofia Gascon (a trans woman) and has been nominated for best leading actress in the Oscars and Baftas. But I would say it is Zoe Saldana, as Rita, who is the main character. Both she and Selana Gomez, as Jessi, have picked up (supporting actress) nominations, as has the director, makeup artists, composers, producers, writers and others in technical roles. It could win all of those. I don't think it will, but I haven't seen that many films released last year yet. It seems to be one that you either love or hate. I suspect a lot of the hate is coming from people who are anti-trans and can't see past that aspect of the film. I liked it, the music and cinematography in particular. The acting was good, but I'm not sure if it was award-winningly good. I also think the script could have been better. It's just over 2 hours long but because it has so many musical scenes that, as is usually case in musicals, don't advance the plot the way spoken dialogue would, it felt to me like it ought to have been longer to fill in some missing details. The musical numbers were good though, sort of similar to a Baz Lurhman film, in that the actors singing them do not necessarily have a great singing voice but also with some scenes that just burst into a massive dancing and singing show that then goes back to dialogue afterwards. And a lot of it is not musical at all. There were a couple of cheesy scenes; one in-particular in a Thai gender reassignment clinic that Rita is checking out before finding the right one, did not make much sense to me. Maybe they were trying to say “this is the popular image of a s*x-change clinic, but in reality it's something far more serious”? Another slightly weak plot element is that Jessi does not recognise her former husband after the surgery. Of course that surgery has made some massive physical changes, that was the point, but even so, would you not pick up on some characteristics of a person you have been married to for years and had kids with? I can forgive that though, put it down to artistic license, in the same way I forgive William Shakespeare frequently making his characters unrecognisable to their friends and family just by doing their hair different and wearing a hat! 8 / 10- 3
