As title said, it sucks!

For Americans , its soccer or "sucker".

For the rest of world, OMG, its FOOTBALL!!! Soccer World cup is like a holi-month for them.

Sad, A-net is an American company. probably 98% of its staff are not fan.

I hope NCsoft which is a Korean company give A-net staff some pressure, make them put a soccer event in GW for this holi-month of soccer fans.

What does soccer have to do with GW?

Unless you're a fan of the Red Devils (like myself) I wouldn't push it

What do Halloween or Christmas (Wintersday) have to do with GW? The World Cup is a world wide soccer event. It's the Superbowl and March Madness rolled into one, but for the whole rest of the world. Even though I'm American, I follow the World Cup and love watching the games...though I admit, I enjoy the Women's World Cup even more.

Halloween and Christmas aren't sports.

Only sport in GW is killing each other. I take that over football any day.

World cup isnt a holiday though.

Not particularly interested in football myself either.. its so boring, chips and gravy.

*walk into Taco Bell*

You: Do you have burgers?

Guy behind counter: No, this is Taco Bell. We have tacos.

You: Other fast food places I go have burgers!

yesitsrob · Jun 09, 2006, 02:54 PM // 14:54

I don't see what the big deal is.... it has nothing to do with GW.

If they did something for the superbowl though then I'd probably be a little pissed.

And, considering footy is one half of my life (other half being gw) I just don't see why it would be an event

<-- pretty avatar, ty frog ^^

So we should only celebrate things that have nothing to do with either GW or sports

I for one want a Joe Cole mini-pet

I love the Avatar yesitsrob too BTW. Union Flag - nice touch.

What really happens:

You: Can i have the angus burger with bleu cheese?

Guy behind counter: *looks at menu, looks at you, looks at menu, looks around* i have to call the manager

Manager: Hello can i help you

You: Ya i wanted the burger with bleu cheese.

Manager: *looks at other guy, looks at menu, looks around* I dont think we have that...

You: It was at the other Taco bell i went to.

Manager: Hmn..maybe its new. *calls up coroporate headquarters*

30 minutes later....

Manager: Im sorry we dont have that.

You: Oh ok...ill just get a taco supreme.

I dont know about the World Cup, we have enough arguements in game already, PvP vs PvE, Luxon vs Kurzick, now you wanna add a World Cup?

Think of the riots!

Lasher Dragon · Jun 09, 2006, 03:00 PM // 15:00

So we could get what, a soccer-ball helmet? Color me bored.

Tongloid Tarthwood · Jun 09, 2006, 03:04 PM // 15:04

Well, what would you suggest?

I think we should have some sort of contest between melandru and lyssa. You get footy skills and you have to use them with a head or something.

Duly Thankful · Jun 09, 2006, 03:06 PM // 15:06

Well I am English and I can't stand football. A dreary boring game in MY opinion. (please note the 'MY'). I much prefer rugby and I look forward to the end of the World Cup and a return to sanity.

And I don't think that any sporting event should have a place in GW or any other online game. One is RL, one isn't. Enough said.
