The Australia game was amazing. They derserved the win right from the start. Birthday boy also scored two goals :p

trant, there isn't any player in the world that can single handedly "destroy" a team, I'm sorry. If Nedved and Rosicky are at their best and the rest of the team is mediocre, they will not win. 2 v 11 will not get you the win.

I think the Australia had the match because they supported the heat better.

We could clearly see that the Japanese defenders had no strenght to run at the end. Plus Japan attack had the oportunity to seal the victory 2 or 3 times and again we saw extremely tired (heat problems) players.

Anyway, congrats to Australia for the 3 points. Its what it matter.

Lets hope the USA x Czech will be as open as the Aus x Jpn.

Go USA !!!

US down 2-0 to the Czechs after the first half. Man, the US look LOST out there and their D is pathetic. They're standing there just looking at the ball go around them, and their offense is invisible.

they are not even playing like they are the 6th ranked in the fifa rank (not fifth like some people here say). Heck, they are even tied in the 6th place with another two teams.

I wouldn't say lazy. The US defense is just horrible.

The Czechs are going aroud them and they do nothing but watch. I think they're nervous and have a lot of pressure to meet last WC's expectations.

i think it was a huge mistake not putting Adu on the team. At least Adu would have given them a spark.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
