Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

Iran beat Japan, it would be funny if they end up playing the US :laugh:

But England will win it just like '66.

oh yea... :sleep:

another "wembley goal"...

GO GERMANY!!!

oh thats awsum... germany having good chances to win and the final match being on my birthday :D YAAAY

-fm

I normally think England will do well, get up to semi/quater finals before getting kicked out, for for the past few world cups we havent really done so well. But i think we can get to the finals in the very least this time.

We havent had a team this strong for ages, Rooney will be back striaght after the group stages, which we should walk through, and i cant wait to see what Theo Walcott brings to the game if/when he plays

The only strong contenders i see are, Italy and brazil, but the problem with italy is that they they are relying on one player which wont work, so who knows

oh yea... :sleep:

you wish mate :D Deautchland will win like they did in 90 :yes: . They have to!!!!!!

Spain will win and Iran will be the biggest surprise !

If Israel had qualified would Iran have turned up?

I will naturally be gunning for England.

I think Ivory Coast could get to the 1/4 finals.

Golden boot, well you need to look at a good team playing a poor team for plenty of goals

and if one particular player score 4 in a 7-0 drubbing, then they may get a couple more on the way to the 1/4 finals.

The ones listed I doubt will feature, however, I will say Peter Crouch has a good chance of being #1.

Only 4 hours untill the first match begins, can't wait!! :D I was listening to the radio this morining and the first song i heard when i woke up was 3 lions on a shirt, so im really pumped up for this now. :yes:

Come on England!

As an American, I have no clue about Football (soccer to us Yanks) but i am going to try to support our Team (and our English Cousins-Nevada Smiths in NYC!!!) this year and have a question. I am clueless about the offsides rule in Football. The Fifa site doesn't have a rulebook or i am just not finding it, can someone point me to it? I am figuring that the rest of the world can't be wrong about a sport.

I doubt even the linesmen (assistant referees) and the ref know the off-side rules.

Is he passive, was he active, did he think about passing the ball or not. Some of the lame excuses they come out with.

The Worst I have seen is a linesman giving someone off-side from a throwin. :no:

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
    • Hello, Hope all is well. I am in UK.  
    • I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
    • Or just check the script yourself ^^. I hate having a Microsoft account tied to my windows install.
