As the most important LHM to a GFC in Las Vegas it is impossible for me to leave this glorious city.

On that point I can't believe you threatened me in public! What would the Patriarchy say if they saw this shameless act of aggression.

TextBasedMafiaRPGMan always said women should not get the vote and previously I disagreed with him but.. well... it would solve a few things.

I also think we should kill PropertyManager. I have no idea what the conversation was about, I only caught the dogs tail end of it, but I think we're all in agreement we should put PM down like the dog cretin he is

That’s quite enough talk about putting down dogs thank you Richard-Harrow.

I think what you mean to say is that it’s time for PropertyManager to go and live with a lovely new family (I mean any family would be an upgrade versus DetroitSimon) on a rustic old farm in the countryside where all of the other dogs go for a holiday after they get too tired.

Well, things are about to get interesting.

Since nobody else bothered I went to the effort of seeing where things stand:

TextBasedMafiaRPGMan - Spain
BuddyBigPaw - France

Richard-Harrow - Argentina
Norella - England

It’s like a whose who of La Costa Nostra (plus some guys from New York thrown in for balance)

How surprising. Richard against Norella in quite the match. It's almost like it was written that way!

In fact. Loving that things could get pretty domestic in that second semi-final.

This feels pretty make or break for that relationship.

Totally! Things could get rough in the Brooklyn household here.

As a good husband, I think I'd be more than happy to let her win, but I don't suppose the referee's and players would agree with me there!

A great win for the Spanish, the man with a long name has to be massive favourite at this stage. A class performance

I feel a Spanish triumph deep in my bones. It's coming home. Argentina, England, it doesn't matter. I walked onto the training pitch and I said, 'Spaniards. Less long balls. Less route one. I need you to play it on the ground. Slowly. Methodically. This is chicken tikka football.'

I'm not saying I'm responsible. But it's all thanks to me. 

I'm packing up. I thought Harry Kane's golf session in America had sealed the deal. I was mistaken and I couldn't be more disappointed. How do I break these terrible news to PropertyManager and what are the consequences? At this point I rely on PrincessDonut for strength but is it enough?

Argentina wins this. Hopefully?

Hopefully the final gets cancelled due to the shenanigans of the powers that be. 

I have just re-read the original wording and have spotted that third still gets paid, so I am officially emotionally hedged (on the match that no one cares about)

I just wanted to say that I'm ashamed at all the potential rogues out there for not killing Norella before the end of the tournament. You've made me look like a huge boob now. 

I'm not sure my reputation will ever recover from this

It is much appreciated. Coming second is definitely something I should aspire to more in life.

I tip my hat to sir TBMRPGM with his Victory. 

Norella coming in third is nice too!

PM is unfortunately somehow still around. It's a work in progress.

Never in doubt. Congrats TextBasedMafiaRPGMan
