Good luck with your new season pojat! May the best mies win!

I think you'll have a great season and hopefully it'll be nice and close. Let's see if Zinga's brave predictions come true  :lol:

All the best and I look forward to seeing the results of the league.

All's well that ends well

Laurent is indeed a very good organiser (he did a great job at the 1994 World Cup that I took part in), but his email was a bit unfortunate....ah well, at least nobody died!

So, good luck Suomelainen and have a great time.

Yes, good points Hönkki - you do have a better chance of going through in smaller groups I guess.

It's a bit funny having the smaller groups for the Open, and the big ones for the Veterans, but 8 more Veterans would've solved the problem. And 80 games is a LOT of games! Maybe they could've had 10 groups of 4, with the 10 first placed guys going through and the six best 2nd placed guys qualifying (on points then goal difference) for the 1/8 finals, but that is not very good either.

Oh well, you can only go with what they decide I guess.

Hönkki, Zinga, Marko ja Suomi!

Good luck on the weekend! Have a great time and play well!!

I read the email below from Laurent. It's a shame there is a last minute controversy, but personally Hönkki I think it's great you will get to play a minimum of 4 games in the Veterans.

And good luck on Sunday. Go Finland!!!!!

I'm sure you will have a great time and I wish I could be there.

All the best.

Interesting! At least I got the most goals  

We did play a lot of games, didn't we?

Thanks Vesa

Well done Suomi for getting so many guys in the top 1026  :wink:

I noticed that there will be someone from Australia in the World Cup.
Have you anything to do with that ?  :cry:  :wink:

Well, keep flicking and have fun!

Interesting results pojat! And lots of close games....good to see. But what happened against Zinga, Vesa??

I have dug out my old board and pitches (cotton, nylon and wool, but no Astro), but have not set up anything or flicked yet. Too busy unpacking and tidying up the house and garden!

Hope you are all well and enjoying the Finnish summer. It has been cold (for Sydney) and wet since we got back, but is sunny and about 17 today - not so bad!

Cheers.

Eliot

Sori Hönkki!

It could have gone either way, but at least we finally played the game, my last one here in Finland on this trip. And I think it was very fitting that I played you, as the Finnish Subu El Presidente and my very first contact here, in my last game...for the time being anyway!

Best of luck Puppe and Miku! Have fun and kick some Norwegian butt 8).

My apologies up front for the length of this post!  I am of course really delighted to have won the HeFi league this season, and finally to have won something after three previously unsuccessful attempts (the November tournament, the first Hefi season, and the Future tournament).

I did not however quite win the title yesterday in the way I had really hoped ie by beating both Zinga and Vesa on the final day to prove myself a really worthy champion. I was however very pleased that I fought back against Vesa in the final game, because at half time the title was Zinga's. It was a really tough game. Thanks also of course to Kaitsu for making life as difficult for Zinga as he did for me. .

I lost the title with Wille. Vesa blew it with Seppo. Intrestingly all players in places 4 to 9 got points from top three. Eliot is the worth champion with his idiot proof style Laughing. He made the goals like the machine and that resulted only four lost points against 4 to 12. That compared to my ten points and Vesa's fifteen point does not leave room for explanations!

But... is there someting wrong with the Autralian nerves?? Shocked Eliot nearly lost all games against me and Vesa.. ..or was he thinking that he would be too superior without giving us handicap?? Only man from the Australia knows the truth.. Wink

I was just trying to keep it interesting for you all :wink:

All the best and hyvää juhannusta!

Eliot

will of course play all 4 if there is time and I am not feeling completely dead. Otherwise, I guess I could finish my league games on Thursday

Not sure what time we start on either day.

If you feel tired, then we can play our game on Thursday, but of course it would be good to finish the league on Tuesday. We'll see.

On Tuesday we'll start putting the tables together at 16.30.

OK, thanks Vesa. Hopefully we can play today.....

We play also on Thursday, but Tuesday is still the official ending day of the season. We'll try to play all the leaguegames left on Tuesday, but if for some reason we are not able to play all the games on Tuesday, then we'll play them on Thursday. Vesa has more time on Tuesday than Thursday.

I would like to play with Eliot on Thursday if possible. We still have the easter tournament's final and that day is my absolutely last chance to play with him, as it is probably for some others too. Thursday could be a good day to play a farewell game with Eliot, if it is ok with him.

OK, no worries. If it OK with people, I will play the minimum 2-3 games on Tuesday, and will of course play all 4 if there is time and I am not feeling completely dead. Otherwise, I guess I could finish my league games on Thursday, as well as play some friendlies including of course our game Hönkki!

Not sure what time we start on either day. I have something on at lunchtime/early afternoon on Thursday, but could be there by the normal time (ie 1730 or so), or maybe a bit earlier.

OK. I put another message on the HEFI page about whether we could play on Thursday as I only get home to Finland early on Tuesday morning, but I see Masse can't make it on Thursday. If Tuesday suits everyone, I will be there....
