Well after giving fans another round of cardiac arrests Milan made it through. A great finish! Lyon put up a great fight and were a worthy opponent. FORZA MILAN!!!

Brilliant game that was, watched it all on tv and pS-, that team is unnaturally good :huh:

BRING ON VILLARREAL

  • 2 weeks later...

Milan x Barcelona (ill not say the result because some ppl might watch the game later)

What a nice game, high class match.....still Barcelona is actually the best team this season and i hope they win the CL, they deserve.

Anyway the return match will be awesome.

:D

1-0 To the Arsenal :D

Villareal are the biggest divers/foulers I've ever seen. One point of their players tried to push Henry, the Villareal player fell down clutching his hamstring for no reason at all. :/

yea coz none of the arsenal players have dived :rolleyes:

oh come on, were you watching the match, did you see the first leg?

south american players and a lot of those around the Mediterranean always fall all over the place, it's a disgrace. I don't know why the refs don't do more about it. The Villarreal captain was all over Ljungberg when Arsenal had corners and then collapsed at the slightest touch anywhere in the Arsenal half.... I don't think a single Arsenal player was booked against 5 Villarreal players.

I'm not an Arsenal fan btw, I support Fulham, just glad to see an English team in the final again.

I'm sorry, but even though Villareal outperformed Arsenal tonight, Arsenal definatley deserve to be the ones going through to the final, Villareal are s$^*. Also that referee was a crook, look at when the fool elbowed Ljungberg in the chest, that didn't even warrant a foul, but what Cliche did warranted a penalty. That team deserves nothing due to the fact they are nothing more than a group of dirty players who play boring football and go through on the away goal rule. Despite getting to the semi-final, they deserve no credit for anything.

they deserve the semi-final place they reached. how many ****ing teams are there in the world that their players dive or are a bit rough, not one team playing football is "innocent" No one gave Virrareal nothing, but with a new coach, they reached the semi finals in their FIRST Champions League appearance, i am an Arsenal fan mind you, but a bow to Villareal, good on them for getting so far.

Barcalona OR AC Milan - whoever wins (Barca i would say) will both dump all over Arsenal.

Arsenal are horrible. They were lucky last night - Villareal completely outplayed them. Riquleme is a football genius, alas they did not make it though.

Arsenal will get torn apart by either team in the final, and I will be extremly shocked if Arsenal win it... I can't see it... They play boring football and only ever excite against teams like Everton or Bolton... crap teams.

arsenal are the second most exciting team in europe after barcelona, Riquleme is not a football genius and arsenal were lucky last night yes, and they probably will lose to barcelona in the final, but they have had an excellent campaign, don't forget they've set a new defensive record in the champion league. they definatley deserve to be in the final, if they don't no one does (apart from barcelona).

Arsenal were not lucky, they desrved their place.

Leg 1 Henry had a goal chalked off which was not off-side, however Villareal should have been given a penalty.

Arsenal had to put up with two legs of Villareal diving, making out they were injured so Arsenal kicked out the ball, everytime we had a corner, Ljunberg and Henry were subject to having their shirts ripped off their back in the penalty area.

To top it all off, Villareal get a penalty which was no more than a dive, the guy is 6 inches taller than Gael Clichy, he backed into Clichy.

Justice was done, Arsenal hit final.

AC Milan will win tonight (overall) and it will be England v's Italy in Paris and hopefully the European Cup for Arsenal in their last season at Highbury.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
