The match will be held at the Estadio Mineirao, Belo Horizonte. Kick-off is at 13:00 local time. (For the kick-off time in your time zone click here.)

Referee: Howard Webb (England)

 

My guess: Brazil 2 - 1 Chile

Well, Brazil is the 1st team qualified. A LOT of suspense in this match, however they sucked big time. Brazil has players, but today they were just lucky.

Also, I don't want to sound biased, but Chile has THE biggest actors at this WC so far. Our commentators said at one time that there are snipers in the crowd (joking, of course), that's why Chile's players fall like that. That guy (can't remember his name) that faked the foul by Daniel Alves was PATHETIC. He simply threw himself in the opponent and fell like he was struck by lightning.

 

Anyway, I really didn't like this game. Hopefully Columbia & Uruguay will provide a better spectacle. :)

As soon as it became clear that they were playing for the extra time, it started to dull. When it was clear that neither team had enough "legs" to score then, it was just a matter of waiting until the penalty lottery.

I cant stand Brazil and feel they got lucky. If Chile did this to them a superior team can knock them off so I do no think they will win unless conspiracy happens. I sure hope it remains clean all the way but with FIFA you never know.

Neymar celebrated like he did something and he did not do s*1@t. Colombia Uruguay should be excellent. Both teams play well. Holland though has really kicked ass. They are going to be very tough to beat

That's not a fact, not with Brazil and not with any team. By your logic, for example, since Germany beat Portugal and Portugal beat Ghana, Ghana should have been an easy pray for Germany. Yet, it wasn't.

 

Brazil always had problems with smaller teams, mostly in the qualifying phases. But the further they go, their game is a totally different one. At lease it was like this in the past, we'll see if it happens again now. And yes, they got lucky, but luck is also part of football :)

I must say Brazil is feeling the pressure for playing at home. Ali that crying...

It became a disfunctional team, fragile psychologically.

 

I am thinking the same, I forgot to add this in my previous posts. Brazil are under a huge pressure, not only because of their image, but also because, in the past, horrible things have happened when the team lost early at WM (suicides, violent protests, even the economy went down in Brazil). All these things AND the expectation of people in the world (Brazil is still considered the best football team in the world by many) weights a lot on the players and the coach. It's not easy to play under these conditions. For them, the fact that they're playing home is a curse.

They had not won the cup at home and yes I heard when they loose suicides, etc. Why kill yourself when your team looses is beyond my comprehension. Chicago teams loose I get upset for that day maybe shed a tear but kill myself? Never.

Give me a freaking break. Just a game..

The protests which do become violent and destructive is also very stupid as Brazil prides itself as tourist destination and I would hate to travel there for pleasure and be in the middle of that mess.

I never had a desire to go there and I do hope they loose. This has been a different world cup like for example what Colombia is doing they have never got this far before. They could go further and could upset Brazil.They have some fast players like Brazil.

I cannot let my emotions towards Brazil blind me. I know they have the most World Cups and are recognized as the best ever. There is a respect there for what they have done. The pressure is very intense and also believe it is curse to play at home. Away the pressure is not as high.

I dont want to be in their shoes. I just want someone else to win.

Because in Brazil football is like a religion. They are a poor country and football is about the only good thing there. Protests happen because many people think (and for good reason IMO) that money should be spent feeding people, providing health care and so on, instead of building football stadiums to host the WC.

 

I don't know why you want someone else to win, I would love to see them winning just for those people that live for football at such intensity.

I know it is like a religion and the protests you mention I totally agree with that. They spent I don't know how many billions and they moved people out of small homes or apartments and now they live in tent cities in the shadows of the stadiums. Also I heard the majority of the stadiums built are just for the world cup use and that is it.

What lunacy is that? Feed and help your people forget the other stuff. So I 100% agree with those protests. I thought you meant protests if they lost like looting, etc. I do not agree with that.

As for not rooting for them. I just never liked them. I am a fan of Spain although they sucked this cup and I like the US since I live here. I do like some other teams also.

Best of luck friend

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By Arceles · Posted

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
