Feh, during the 2002 FIFA World Cup I was supporting both Portugal and Japan.

Mainly because of the Captain Tsubasa/Oliver Atton animes, the very beautiful japanese kit, and also because of Hidetoshi Nakata (one of my idols).

I always liked my hair in the military style, but, in that summer I kept it growing and changed into Hide's colour. :pinch:

Hey my girlfiend is one of the top officials on Asian Cup organizing comittee!!! I don't mean to brag or anything but the whole thing would fall apart without her :p. She has been very busy. ALL the teams officials call her with every little minor detail as well as the reffs and the Chinese press. It's cool though because we can go to any of the games for free. If anyone in China is going, I'll see you at the opening cerimonies!!!

Inside news? I dunno. I'll ask her if there is anything interesting when she's home from work in a few hours. As far as exlusive pics, probably once the tourney starts. In a few nights we will go out to a dinner and the princes of Saudi Arabia will be there. Pretty cool :)

Well I have bad news for u..

No Cheerleaders in Soccer.. yet! Maybe in the future.. tell your GF to give them the suggestion :)

Mostly she just complains about her co-workers and what things they do :p. I'll give her the link and ask her to spread it arround the office. Not all of them speak very good English though so we'll see ;)

Well I went to the opening cerimonies and the first game between China and Bahrain. I met the president of FIFA!!! I was in the VIP section so I was with all those important people like top Chinese government officials and the AFC officials. I also met some players from Indonesia. The opening cerimonies were pretty boring and the game was just ok. I was reminded of why I don't like soccer much :p. I'll be going to more games though and hopefully I can get into it. I don't have hockey here so I need a sport to enjoy ;)

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
