After struggling with the poor web connections of our Spanish cribs, we were finally able to post up some pictures from the Fuengirola Beach cup. You’ve all seen the pictures of the rough seas and suffering tents, so none of that this time. See below for a few pics that are also links to the galleries:

Saturday
So what’s next, earthquake? Tsunami? Jesus appearing on middle of CPL field? It seems Malaga ain’t getting no lenience from the higher powers. Day started with a thunder storm over Malaga. And it’s set to continue over the weekend. The forecasts seem to be changing by the minute, but I expect nothing good out of this by now.
Games are maybe starting again and our boys are set to play against Empire Venice at some point. Hopefully Stark will get his report on yesterdays happenings sent to me soon, so that I can pass all the juicy details to you. But one thing is for sure, our boys are in high spirits and having time of their lives.
As we are short on players, we got help from Sugar daddys on our second game. They came and helped us on the pits. Thanks boys, we owe you one! This is a case in point why Millennium is the best place to play ball in Europe. Even though teams play to win, they still help each other out! Ofcourse Scandinavians are always close, but this has happend with other nationalities also. This is what our sport needs, the sense that you want to win, but not with other guys handicapped. We will try to put our effort to enforce this on our own part.
Update. Sam just texted that “Maybe” they are not playing today. This is getting rediculous
Update2. So no games today. 7AM tomorrow the organization will tell us, if any games will be played. huoh.
Friday continued:Scores
Okay, first game is done with Sugar Daddies from Sweden… Lost 4 to 3… I won’t try to save our grace, but still I think this is a good score considering. They are playing with flood lights on, so interesting times… I’m currently getting drunk with our favorite criminal Nysty and the unnamed player (Yo-L) who missed his flights. And we are envious of our guys there playing in the dark.
Update: the second game with Copenhagen Synergy went our way 4-0. We (both malaga and Helsinki) are in the groove… Hopefully.
Pictures from The Site
Here’s some pics from the site, provided by Sam. We have 6 out of 7 guys at Malaga… One missed his flight by sleeping. He went to the airport and got on another flight, which broke down and had to return to Helsinki. Talk about bad luck (and a little bit of stupidity). Now he’s hanging at Helsinki airport (still serving) waiting for his flight.

Malaga Mayhem
It seems that this years Millennium Malaga might just be a bigger disaster than last year. Sam just reported that there is a storm in Malaga, that seems to be even windier than last years. Weather forecasts say that it should be over by Friday morning, but rain will keep the whole week-end. Combine that with our own little Pinatubo in Iceland which is shutting down the air traffic in Northern Europe. Some of the teams and referee’s are on their way and will be affected by the Flight situation.
Will this be another blow to already suffering Millennium Series? Will they play any games? Will our boys be hammered out of their minds on Friday? Is it 2012 already? We will keep you posted on all the gritty details as they come available, here and on Facebook!
Now that we have the dramatic yellow newspaper headlines done; I’ll send all my strength to my boys in black and blue. Like I’ve said, we are at our best when everything fails.
Update: Reporting from site is mixed. Some say everything is going ahead and the wind isn’t bad. One thing is propably sure; Rumormill will keep feeding itself throughout the weekend.
Update Part Deux: Weather is clearing. Here’s me, hoping that the games get on tomorrow. SPL is loosing at least four teams (thanx Wil @ Paintballer-forums.com), because of the flights. No idea how many Div 1 teams. For once I’m happy to live up here, flights have to be flown early to get anywhere.
