For me, I could only choose entertainment over results if I were watching a match in which I was completely neutral, which is very rarely the case.As long as there was a team I slightly favoured, I'd always go for a win regardless of the entertainment quality of their football.

    Results :stuckup:.



    No seriously, you can't expect all(most) football matches to be that entertaining. Especially the CL or any other high-stake match. Football clubs are more and more like big businesses(sp?) competing, with the single goal of profit. Though that profit could be in money or throphies.
    So for the clubs itself, the results are more important. And no offence Nicole, usually (the lack of) 'entertainment' is an easy excuse for the losing team.

    Anyway Andy was spot on, there is nothing as entertaining as following your favourite team.

    I must say, the game really is good fun though :D

    Rico is gay? thats new. Its more soap opera with a hint of men in underwear 'fighting' more then anything.
    He prances around in pink, and has makeup on, so whaddya think? :D

    About the soap opera thing.. yeah.. I remember all the alliances and the traitors etc. and all the bullshit they have to make up just to get through one week.. I guess they ran out of "quality plot" :)rofl: that's a riot :rofl: ), and just started pleasing the rednecks in the audience...

    Thanks, and yes Nietzsche very much. jeez, someone my age who actually knows him. We are a match made in Heaven :D

    I could never be a surgeon. I dont like the sight of peoples innards.. but its great to save lives. All the best with that, I have no doubt that you will become a good surgeon if you really want to be that. :)

    Heh, you should meet my other friend.. he's crazy 'bout the philosophy books.. :D
    And about the people's innards thing.. I have that problem too.. Just one of the obstacles I have to overcome before becoming a surgeon.. :D (again I'm kidding.. I actually think that the inside of the human body is fascinating.. and wouldn't you just like to cut somebody up one day..? :D)
