Great match, Germany were unlucky to only have 1 goal. I dont understand why the poles didnt try to attack more, their run in the WM now depends on the other teams. the atmosphere here is crazy, people are still partying around, firecrackers etc :D

Boo Brazil! How can you choose them, guys?! Especially with Pele-turned-Maradona (atleast the weight) Ronaldo? They were horrible the other day...

I'm favour of Germany. It should of been them in 2002, and it should be them in this one. Just let Oliver Kahn play!

how can someone choose them? hmm let me think......the fact that they are the greatest footballing nation in the world wouldnt have anything to do with it, would it? and in 2002, Germany survived because of Oliver Kahn, their games were nothing to what Brasil played, mind u i am a goalkeeper when playing football for my local club, and Oliver was great that tournament, but in the end Brasil was better

Brazil striker Ronaldo has undergone medical examinations in a clinic after complaining of dizziness.

The 29-year-old's below par performance against Croatia on Tuesday was greeted by vehement criticism from observers, who attacked his lumbering display and portly appearance.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) have now revealed that the forward told team doctors on Wednesday that he felt light-headed and out of sorts.

Ronaldo was sent for examinations but nothing was found and he is set to return to training on Thursday.

"Ronaldo complained of feeling dizzy on Wednesday, June 14, and was submitted to a medical check-up and additional examinations," said the CBF on its official website.

"No abnormality was found. Ronaldo is, therefore, in normal conditions for training."

The incident is bound to bring back memories of his similarly dazed performance in the World Cup final of 1998, when he suffered a mysteriously setback prior to kick-off.

He does seem a bit more overweight than he used to be, but he has never exactly been the fittest player in the world. He still produces the goods most of the time.

No one can doubt Ronaldo's credentials, as his goalscoring record is average's out at 0.75 goals a game, which is a world class record.

He did look a bit out of sorts though on Tuesday, but hopefully he can turn everything around and go on to produce the form that we know he is capable of.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.

      Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about

      That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.

      Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
