Football video game
Greetings,

I am trying to remember a football (association) game in which after you were done training with your team, you could actually walk around outside the training ground. Now, I don't remember what you could actually do, but it was fun and I would like to know the name of it again. Thanks! Nicholasprado (talk) 22:40, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Do you know what system it was for? Was it a PC game? That can help narrow it down a bit. Foofish (talk) 21:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes it was a PC game, I downloaded it. Nicholasprado (talk) 18:29, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Could it be this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Evolution_Soccer ? Foofish (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear Nicholasprado, is it possibly this game (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2212328/Science-tech-Preview--Lords-Football-Xbox-360--PS3--PC.html#axzz2KiI8A4nr)? I have played this game over a friend's house and I remember, that you are able to walk around outside the training ground.--188.62.118.195 (talk) 19:11, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * That looks like a great game, but I'm pretty sure it's not the one I was looking for. Thanks for trying though! I think it was 2009 or 2010 when I played the game I'm talking about. Nicholasprado (talk) 23:18, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Nicholasprado, I have found another game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc5pX6vLVRo). You are able to walk around the training ground and this game was released in 2009. I hope, that I could helped you. I wish you all the very best.--188.62.118.195 (talk) 14:04, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I have found it this was the one I was talking about but thanks for trying --->>> http://mmohuts.com/review/football-superstars — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.142.189.80 (talk) 00:19, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Where's a good betting site for the next pope's name?
There are current events betting sites all around the 'net, but not every one of them has you bet on what the next pope's name will be.

Some poor bloke several topics up asked basically the same thing, but nobody gave him a straight answer.

A growing number of interested prospective betters would love to bet Peter II.

Please, list the sites you'd recommend for us to bet the next pope's papal name.

Moreover, as I'm studying in the United States, will I still be eligible to bet on these sites, or will I have to have my friends abroad bet on my behalf? Thank you kindly. --129.130.37.93 (talk) 04:06, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Looking for a music group dressed as aliens
I am trying to find a music group that dresses like aliens, but i dont recall the name of the group. The group has a "human" who introduces the aliens, and claims that their primary language is music. The group does a short little collection of "famous songs of earth" and i think they call it something like "the evolution of music". The sequence of parts of songs they go through includes "Mr. Sandman", "Cotton Eyed Joe", "In the mood", "Who let the dogs out" and others that i cant remember the name of. The songs progress from older songs to newer songs.

Does anyone know what the name of this group is?

British comic launched in very late 70s/very early 80s
I don't know if I have enough information for this, but I'm looking for a comic available in Britain that launched in the very late 70s/very early 80s. One of the first editions (perhaps the launch one) came with a free gift of a simple spudgun. Can anyone identify the title? If I had to put my finger on a specific launch year, I'd go for 1981. --Dweller (talk) 14:54, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

MLB regular season number of games per against team
I understand NFL regular season but I want to know how many times does a baseball team like Toronto Blue Jays for example need to face a team in their own division, other divisions and in interleague in the regular season?--Donmust90 (talk) 14:59, 13 February 2013 (UTC)Donmust90
 * There's a Wikipedia article title Major League Baseball schedule which explains how MLB teams have scheduled for pretty much all of history. Starting in 2013, MLB is realigning from an unbalanced alignment (14 AL teams/16 NL teams) to a balanced one (15 in each league) by moving the Houston Astros to the American League.  On the downside, that means that there will always be at least one interleague game every day, so interleague play will not only occur during certain weeks of the season, as had been done for the past 15 years or so.  On the upside, having exactly 5 teams in each of 6 divisions will greatly simplify scheduling as this allows every team to play essentially identical schedules, which rarely happened since the first expansion back in the 1960s.  For 2013, this means that each team will play the following 162 game schedule:


 * Own division: 19 games against the other 4 teams in their own division (76 games)
 * Own league/other divisions: 6 or 7 games against the other 10 teams in the league (66 games)
 * Interleague games: 3 or 4 games against all 5 teams from one division in the other league (16 games)
 * Interleague rivalry games: 4 games against a designated rival from the other league, usually a close geographic partner (i.e. Mets vs. Yankees, Dodgers vs. Angels etc.)
 * Does that work? -- Jayron  32  17:58, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * It does work and now what about NBA and NHL? --Donmust90 (talk) 04:16, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Donmust90 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donmust90 (talk • contribs) 04:15, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * You can read about the NHL at Season structure of the NHL, this current season is a little off, because it has been shortened by a labor dispute. The league is organized into 2 conferences and 6 divisions with 5 teams in each division (like baseball), and in a normal 82-game season they play 6 games against their 4 divisional opponents (24 games), 4 games against the other 10 members of their conference (40 games) and 1-2 games against the 15 teams in the other conference (18 games) for 82 total games.  During the current shortened season, they are playing an abbreviated 48 game schedule which includes NO cross-conference games.  The NBA season structure is described at National Basketball Association.  The NBA, like MLB and NHL, has 30 teams in 2 conferences and 6 divisions.  Unlike hockey, where some teams meet only once in a season, the NBA guarantees a minimum of two games (at least a home and an away) against every other team.  Thus, each NBA team plays the other 4 teams in its own division 4 times a year (16 games), the other 10 teams in its conference 3-4 times (36 games) and the teams in the other conference twice (30 games) to give the NBA its 82 game schedule.  How's that? -- Jayron  32  04:39, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I know you didn't ask for info on the NFL but just in case someone is wondering, this image might be helpful to understand their season. Dismas |(talk) 05:00, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
