True. Australia are miles behind most countries in the football stakes, I'm not digging you aussie folks but you have to admit it's not your countries first sport. Where as in England it's religious to most people. But I would love to see you get one over Brazil, definitely be supporting The Socceroos.

I think our group (Englands) is a fair enough group, we always seem to get Sweden must be a Sven thing, if only our manager was from Ivory Coast lol. And Trinidad and Tobago eh, they have a few English based players, they'll be well up for it.

Should be good, I might do a bet on Ivory Coast to get through their group. It's a tough one indeed. The odds wil be fairly nice :shifty:

It will definetly be a stepping stone in Australias footballing history, but it will be a long shot to defeat Brasil, they are the best footballing nation ever :p if they get one over Japan, it will be a nice milestone, but it will take more than strength and speed to overcome Croatia and Brasil, its just not Australias passionate sport..................yet..

Australia's stuffed. Croatia and Brazil. Hell, even Japan could probably beat us :(. We should've taken Germany's spot, we'd have half a chance then :).

I was about to say that, i think that is the hardest group, Croatia and Japan are very tough teams, and well, we all know about Brasil.

I'll be impressed if you Aussies make it through group stage, i hope you do, but i can't see it happeneing.

Good luck.

*edit* ^Paul - that's what made me stop watching it.

England have a good team but nothing suficient to beat Brazil.

Stop being overly opiniated towards Brazil. Practically every single post you make says that Brazil are better than England, England and Europe suck etc.

No one has said that Brazil are not a good team, we respect Brazil, but people like yourself really tick me and other people off with what you say.

STOP IT AND JUST ENJOY THE FOOTBALL!! :angry:

Oh hush. If you know football at all ... which you probably don't since Brazil's national league is so poor ... you'll know that any team can beat any other team on it's day. England have some of the best players in the world in Beckham, Owen, Rooney and Lampard.

Personally I think that England will play Brazil in the semis and the winner of that game will go on to win the World Cup.

Portugal never wont nothing.. complete a bull**** in world cups...

That does it, stop being an ######!

I must remind you that Brazil and Portugal were part of the World Cup 66's group C:

Group C:

Portugal

Hungary

Brazil

Bulgaria

Do you know why the team list is like that? Because we won all the games in our group and you were kicked out of the competition!

The tournament got underway with England and Uruguay playing a goalless draw at Wembley.

England qualified from their group as winners without conceding a goal.

The new top team in world football was Portugal.

They won all their three first round games and even knocked out twice winner's of the cup Brazil. Pel? just as in 1962 got kicked out of the competition.>

Another surprise was North Korea's contribution to this World Cup. Their victory over Italy is one of the all-time greatest shocks in world football. The defeat sent Italy home as well.

England beat Argentina in a match England coach Alf Ramsey described the South Americans as "Animals".

He refused to let his players swap shirts with them after the match!North Korea led 3-0 over Portugal at one stage and looked like reaching the semis, but then Eus?bio knocked in four goals and Portugal eventually won 5-3.

b>

The semifinals saw the Germans beat the Soviet Union 2-1.

A young Franz Beckenbauer scored West Germany's second goal.Bobby Charlton stopped Portugal and Eus?bio's run in the World Cup when he scored twice to send England to the final. Eusebio scored his ninth goal in the bronze match when Portugal beat the Soviet Union, and that was some consolation./b>

The final produced lots of drama as England faced West Germany at Wembley. England eventually won in extra-time and became the third host nation to win the World Cup.

TOPSCOREEus?bio (POR) 9 goals

Helmut Haller (GER) 5 goals

Geoff Hurst (ENG) 4 goals

Franz Beckenbauer (GER) 4 goals

Valeri Porkujan (SOV) 4 goals

Ferenc Ben? (HUN) 4 goals

We are proud of our team and we'll always be proud of them! And I don't need you to bash other people's teams and countinents! Kthx.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
