Well nobody was saying Latvia was better, I was saying they still played a competitive game and before the game I was saying they'd not be an easy opponent.

Quote from Mustangman759 :You can't win off goal percentage. Latvia's offense did a terrible job to retain possession. Canada fired a low goal percentage but I can count at least a dozen shots that were saved that were great looks. The truth is Latvia's keeper carried them and deserves MVP for that game easily.

How often do you watch ice hockey? I mean really? The goal tender is revered as a key player in ANY team.

Quote from Mustangman759 :the only thing keeping Latvia in that game was the goalkeeper. Score should easily have been 3-1 if not for that lucky save.
Canada shots 16, 19, 19
Latvia shots 6, 5, 2
the simple fact is single digit shots is not enough, especially when most of them were low quality like they were in the third period. All of the shots I saw Canada take were high quality as they looked for space or took advantage of breakaways unlike latvia.
why is a Brit claiming to know anything about hockey?

As we saw with Russia against Finland, what is the point shooting if you don't hit the target? And what is the point trying to shoot when you can't keep a hold of the puck? Although to be far Canada's containment play is the best in the world the point still stands. Just because you get shots off on or off target doesn't show the true impotent of a game at all. That's like saying the number of gear changes in a race is relative to how fast your average speed is.


Latvia held on in that game and were pushing alot in the final 5minutes. You need a bit of luck to succeed, and if Canada keep shooting at the goal tender how is it lucky if he saves it? Goal tending is as much about positioning than it is about reflexes.

Think of it this way, Latvia had a bigger percentage of goal to shot ratio in that game than any other team. The goal they DID score was some of the best link up play you'll ever see, they hooked a guy up and he was 1v1 with the goal tender and actually put the puck away, unlike Russia where we saw 1v1 situations all tournement long only for Ovechkin to fluff it into the crowd.

I'm right because I duly noted it wouldn't be a cake walk, and it wasn't.

Quote from Mustangman759 :Its Canada vs Latvia. But gg

Well I meant Canada but I like how you brushed it off like I was talking shit, but the reality is I was right. Latvia doing good and sitting 1-1 now and could easily break through.

Quote from deggis :That comparison is a bit hillbilly stuff.

Not really, the winter war is still huge in the mind of people.

Quote from Intrepid :Same could be said for 90% of the rest of the grid too. Considering he hasn't had millions spent on prior to racing cars like the rest I think he's doing pretty damn well.

He spent his fair share before he went into GT academy. Wolfgang Reip or Ordonez are way more worthy of the sponsorship tbh

Quote from EliteAti :Yeaa, feels like Russian players came to receive 1billion dollars each and then go home. 2 fantastic matchups coming up though fin-swe and can-usa cant complain

Well I wouldn't write off Latvia just yet, they still have a decent chance to disrupt the US a bit.

Dutch own speed skating, Belarus own the aerials and Norway underperform in the cross country skiing. Just another normal Winter Games then.

Quote from DeKo :The only thing stopping it from being a Porsche 911 GT3 is a license, otherwise it's identical.

Well a RUF is not identical to a 911. RUF have a different philosophy to Porsche, thats why they modify them so heavily.

At least aside from obvious g-force absence you can get properly immersed when driving race cars from the sound and the vibe you get. You don't really drive a road car in a sim and get immersed in quite the same way I think.

Yea but the RUF was never a GT3 car anyway, so the pace isn't comparable to anything other than the generic GT3 rule-set.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :or right. They are more concentrating on the driving first, unlike iracing where they force a release of a new tire model every 13 weeks. In that time frame the tire model is sure to be shit.

iRacings motto should be
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?

Quote from kars19 :I recommend 420 degrees

"Hotfix for missing cars upgrades just released."

I was using 440 and it still wasn't enough for me.


The overboost feature is a bit silly, but I imagine it's just something to help tie us over to when MP is done.

Mac feels good, felt like it needed to have a sharper steering rack though. It's like dealing playing cards as an octopus.

Quote from Kristi :Yeah, I guess doing a song for her and an origami is totally sending me to bankrupcy. I love seeing myself as homeless in the future.

Waste of time to do anything like that for anyone.

A woman will value you more as a person if you don't keep feeling like you have to give her shit to keep her interested.
