This rule has been there since ages, dont know the exact time.
The reason for this is that the olympics are not on the official FIFA-calendar so they originally limited it to young players (whioch are not always key players in their clubs). But with time the pressure on the FIFA increased from IOC site and that rule got a bit spongy...allowing 3 players older then 23 years...and because there is so much money around with a football tournament with the best players there will definately be an olympic tournament with those players either 2012 in London or 2016.

Same for Russia and Brazil
How did you know that?
You are actually not to far off with your guess...
but it would be hard to reach an average time of 2 if i would look it up
And why do i have a cross in Firefox and a cursor in internet explorer? Its easier in FF if you know where the city is

Yeah! Its done
Big run tonight with huge croud on and off the track. They had to split the 5,4 km run in a business-cup and a solo-racer-cup. I managed to get a 19:16 for 5,4 km, thats a 17:50 time for 5 km (new pb). In the end it was place 19 in my run and place 26 out of 1600 finishers. The result is ok, at least the first woman was behind me ...there was also a lot of traffic on track, i started to get stuck while lapping at the end of my 2nd lap (out of 3 laps)...and the bratwurst after the run tasted soooo good
Now will have a week running break and then see what the next goals are

Like many others i would like to see more contents and more tracks in lfs for the fun to have a brighter variety as playground. Nothing better then racing some real tracks with the lfs physics. It would sure be great for leagues and coverages.
But i do think we have to see the other sides. LFS is for me unbeaten when it comes to physics, because the devs had the physics on a higher priority then new tracks. If we get more and more cars, it gets more and more complex for Scawen to addept the physics and the balancing for all those cars and tracks, more cars, more work, slower development of physic features. People already moan about classes not good balanced and a hell lot of time spent on that in the past.
We still have to see if more and more tracks and cars would really improve the online gaming and could easily be the slow death of good online gaming. We all would spread on more and more servers with more and more combos. For example I would maybe just want to race the FBM at silverston, Dan just a touring car on the nurburgring and we would never come together to play. Then people would start moaning, ahhh lfs has good physics but the online play is bad, there isnt really one packed server. Or people would come here complainining why nobody is racing their favorite car. We already have this. People come here complaining why noone races the LX's or BF1, why there arent 100 packed servers with every combo.
I really think this a point to think about.
I know my english isnt good, but i hope you understand my two points.

2 1/2 - 3 Month training is coming to an end for me on wednesday! Finally there is the event i have been training for. the last 1 1/2 week of preparation havent been very good. 8 days ago i did a very small cross-run here, which i won, but unfortunately i got a distension in my right thighs and if that wouldnt be bad enough... i have been in bed with a flu for the last couple of days...the good thing is its getting better since yesterday. So i am positive to be able to start wednesday. I dont think i can reach the goal i first had with finishing top20. Now my goal is finishing top30.
I will do a last easy tempo training this evening and then hope that everything goes well on wednesday evening. Its always a quite good atmosphere at that city-run, the 5k run is doing 3 laps in the city. They actually count with more then 3000 active runners this year. So i think there will be a couple of spectators more this year.

I pick Menchov as tour winner as he is always better riding his second GT in a year. Somehow i have the feeling Evans will drop out with a broken collarbone after a crash in a descent. Unfortunately he is alway good for these sort of things 
Well deserved win ...unfortunately...
...great tactic, great play, great passes, great finishes...we didnt took our outsider chance
Edit: Bernd Schneider was missing!

Yeah man! Big congratulations from me!! 5 minutes is a word
Really nice pacing, you got faster and faster towards the end!
You have burned a little more then 1000 calories, so you can eat a big fat pizza tonight

Reason : i am stupid
So how is the preparation going for your run? Are you confident to beat the goal you set yourself?
Last weekend i came close to my biggest success in running almost winning a 5 km city run in a town a nearby (finished 2nd). That result also meant i took the lead in my age class (20-30) in a running cup, where you get points for every run, organized by a local running store, here in south lower saxony, which consists of 19 runs, already missed 4 though
...but everyone else did, too. I also brought my PB down to 18:11, i think i can bring it down to 17:30-18:00 in the next weeks.
2 weeks to go to the big historical city run of my town, my big big highlight. Now i am very motivated and confident that i can get a good finish, maybe Top 20 (out of ~1200) which would be a great success for me.
Well...i think i need a blog

well you are right...havent seen that step there on my tiny tv yesterday... i'll withdraw my statement
and about the push, we cant complain if the referee sees that. But at every corner and free kick the players are pushing and holding more then in that situation.

So i am not the only one who realised again yesterday that Ronaldo is a big actor!? If you have looked into his face while falling, then on the ground looking to the referee, then realising it might give no yellow for Friedrich, then his face got into pain and he starts holding his feet, the referee thinks "oh that foul must have been worse if he is holding his feet like that". Finally the referee gives the yellow...
Soo great
... unfortunately a lot footballers think they need such dirty tricks...His football talent is undisputed though.

At least we have one world class player in the team. Lahm... the rest is giving me heart attacks.
I am a statistic and analysing freak as well, unfortunately i cant afford such a thing at the moment
When i got an altimeter for my bicycle 8 years ago, that really motivated me in cycle training
Here a picture of my best run this year. Einbecker-Beer-Run (5,1 k) which i finished 14th out of ~250
My main goal for this year is the historic city run (5,25k) of my city which i want to finish Top30 and well below 20 mins. ...and next year beat my PB again at the Berlin Marathon..anyone has a good setup?

I have to say that always looked pretty cool to see the league standings in SimFIA:F1 on this way
