Ooooh oooh aaaah ahahhhhh ahhhh!!
I don't think the refs were after the USA I just don't think the dipshit had a clue on how to regulate game play. There's not much more I despise in sports than a ref who has more impact than the players. There have been a number of games where the refs gave out too many yellow cards, it's bullshit especially when it leads to players missing matches.
I'd like to see that game played over again and I'd also like to see that ref's head on a stick.

It is surprising, the wole group is really interesting. really enjoyable as I am still trying to make Remote SL to work... BTW. thelike I didnt give up entirely Electribe though I sold my MX already tested it with Jomox Mbase which should be made illegal and 303 Will Systems that i got recently and it is interesting, so I just ordered ESX and will see how it will work.
The game is as crazy as Remote SL and as unpredictable, I think Spain will win anyway.

Yeah, the Jomox is that good for you? Those Xbases are staring to turn hands for around $400-$450 used on Ebay... I may have to jump on one soon.
So you haven't went Future Retro yet? I just picked up the Korg Legacy collection (late in the game I know) but what an amazing sounding plug in as much as I love hardware, this synth collection sounds beautiful. I really like the MS 20 controller that comes with it. Mini-keys do not bother me as I don't "play" them anyways. Plus my fingers are skinny enough. I could see if you have fat fingers, then the mini keys would be too diffecult to play. Lots of fun as well...
As far as the electribe, I still like the EMX haven't touched it in about three weeks as World Cup/Korg Legacy have temporary taken over my life!
Spain down 1-0 at the half...

EEEEEEEESSSSSPPPAAAAAAAAAAANNNAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:1
and I nailed the Novation SL problem!!!! So tripple score
If the ESX works as i expect i may look for Airbase too, and have 3 analog modules driven by Korg seq which is better for me then jomox or MD as seq - I like longer patterns, have my beloved touchpad arp and the whole thing is the most compact of all sequencers.
Anytime I want good sound I endup with legacy, maybe the niceset sounding software in general. I did compare hardware Wavestation and legacy 1 to 1 and there was no point to keep the hardware, cheesy keys and pain to program, some people like even the sound of software more. I use more Poly, MS20 and Cell though
Espanoles son de Pinga! Spanish team is great. Adelante! Uno mas!
Penalty ! in the last minute ! !

I went over to Spain last year while they qualified for the World Cup! They beat Slovikia. I had just got of the train from Barcelona back to Madrid.
I seriously love that country and think I would very much like to move there some day. Loved Madrid more then Barcelona but wasn't in Barcelona long enough to make a totally fair comparision...
Madrid is gorgeous though... If I had more time I would have loved to have gone to Toledo and Segovia and see those Spainish castles and breath in that fall Spainish air...
I was with my girl and in love...

Oh man, I just ate cut out the smarmy stuff, ewwww...
Good game, both sides seemed to fixate on the long through pass onto net after Espana scored with it.
I think I'd love Spain, nice weather, siestas, late night parties, must go there someday.

I fall in love everytime I go to Spain, going with a gf to Spain...... never. last time I didnt feel like going back to Frankfurt mainly because of Colombiana strikingly similar to Shakira- I am not really talking about face. Will go as soon as my current project is ready.
You should check the coastal area Valencia, Alicante. I will be definitely moving to Spain as soon as have my work organised to operate from there, in Spain itself music making is not well paid.

So what's up with the doubling up of games for the rest of round 1?!?!
I was wondering... on the field in these international matches what language do the teams and refs use to whine to each other about? Is English the common language or would it vary? I'll start lip reading and realise I'm being a dumb American lip reading a guy from Ukraine yelling at a player from Saudi Arabia with a Czech judge.
Only been to the US, Canada and Jamaica.

the refs all speak the language of 'stern face'.
players swear in their own language unless they are stupid!
David Beckham who stupidly asked his teammates at Real Madrid for some good swear phrases when he first arrived in Madrid. After his first caution he called the ref a 'hijo de puta' and was promptly sent off. Using the english version to an english ref would merely get a disaproving glare.
better stick to swearing in a language the ref doesn't understand eh?
problem is if your native language is English and the ref is from Euro-land where most refs can speak a good deal.
see
kewel vs markus merk
'According to Merk's report, Kewell "several times" called him a "fucking shit" '
I've been to quite a few countries, 15 or so . Spain is a good place, I like the mentality, I like Barcelona lot.
