Stunts jumps don't work in real life...

They neither work in Stunts at 25 mph.
A much better attempt (landing angle still needs some fine-tuning):

...we like the challenge of doing things where most others give up...

Ruining your opponents

Could you ruin Alan Rotoi, Duplode and Argammon? And last but not least, Skid Vicious.

Poland qualified because they have fewer yellow cards than Mexico. First time it happens in a World Cup I guess.

Poland qualified with better goal difference (2-2 vs. 2-3).

Then Brazil vs Serbia I expect a 2 - 0 for Brazil.

Perfect (although a bit late) prediction!

I have a driver's license and so do others, I guess.  So that should be fine.

The holiday home is likely expensive if only a few pipsqueaks attend. So, we can only book one after people commit. 

Yes, but it will be cheaper than individual hotel accomodations.
I know of a park nearby that has double 10 person houses.
So 20 people per pair (if I'm not mistaken)

Is there Airbnb in Amsterdam? That should have a big selection of apartments/holiday homes.
Unfortunately I can confirm only 1-2 months before the meeting if I am attending. Family & work issues are unpredictable... But if I am joining, I can drive.

Foresten, det var meg som har sendt deg en venneforespørsel på Facebook. Men det er helt greit hvis du ikke vill. 

Beklager, jeg har ikke sett meldingen og ante ikke hvem du var. 

Jeg bor ca. 200km fra Stavanger. ;-)

200 km nord?

Guys. I think I found a convenient location for the Meeting.
Cafe chocolate on Schiphol Airport
It's behind security, so inbound travelers don't have to go through customs. And don't leave the airport.
There used to be City hopper flights that didn't allow exit from the airport. Those were a lot cheaper than normal flights. I haven't flown in a while so I don't know if that is still the case.

Anyway, it's a convenient location.

I don't think it's worth flying anywhere to stay only for a few hours, especially without leaving the airport. If we really want something simple, an online (Teams, Zoom, etc.) meeting is even easier to arrange... A real Stunts Meeting has to include overnight stay(s) and also some sightseeing or other activity related to the host country.

Btw, I happened to play Stunts in Schiphol Airport in the KLM lounge, which is way better than this cafe, but still far from convenient for our purpose...

And although I have flown a lot* to AMS, I've never heard that the Cityhopper flights (=short-distance flights like SVG-AMS, typically with smaller planes than e.g. BUD-AMS) would be cheaper if you don't leave the airport. What would be the point of that?

*: Useless data about myself: overall 56 flights with departure or arrival in AMS.

Hello Usrin. It's the same for me. The direct KLM flight to AMS is convenient. And yes, I also can't on Easter.

Det er litt morsomt at vi bor nær hverandre nå. Da kunne vi nesten fly ned til Amsterdam sammen ;-).

Hei! Har du flyttet til denne delen av Norge?
Iallefall for meg betyr «nær» ikke mer enn 10-15 mil... jeg er fortsatt vant til avstandene i Ungarn.

There is a huge difference between winning a single fixed match and being the surprise team of the tournament.

It was not intended as a serious analysis, just as a friendly insult.
Btw, I don't think the match was fixed. Argentinians got punished for their overconfidence, but can still go far if they learn the lesson.

I am in favour of Amsterdam. It is easy to get to from here. :-)

When: Perhaps one of the long weekends in the spring? We already have other plans for Easter.

Other preferences?

From my city, Amsterdam is the easiest accessible location outside Norway & Denmark, so there is a significant chance that I would join. But NOT on the Easter weekend, due to family plans and the usually super expensive tickets.

Who will be the surprise team?

Do you still want to know? 

appropiate car

You mean the Jaguar or the Audi?

BÖFF!!!

Well in Europe the weather is unpredictable no matter where or when you go.

Amateur meteorologists (Akoss Poo & I) may disagree.
