Germans had yet another excelent game, and scored some nice goals :D Its obvious that equadorians werent playing their best, probably didnt want to get exhausted before theyr next match against whoever :D

anyway sweden vs england is going to be cool. I want swedes to win against english, but then i dont want english play against germany, nor do i want that swedes would loose against germany. But between those 3 its better if germans and english progress further :D

If you can't tell, Ecuador isn't playing with that urgence like they did in their first two games. I am no fan of Ecuador but if you watched all the games they played, you can tell they aren't playing like they could. Could Ecuador beat Germany if their forwards were playing? Most likely not, but they would be showing better class.

I agree, i believe Ecuador was saving energy.

They did 2 great games....i see no other explanation for the game they presented today.

Anyway its kind useless to run like mad when you are already qualified.

Of course the germans are the ones that have to keep up the good scores.

Actually the WC will restart the next round, and this time is for good.

Now we will see who is up to the title.

Im looking forward to see German X England in the next round.

In this case im with England.

England are playing great so far. This first half alone was better than the previous 4 halves that England played. Playing like that, it will be hard to beat them. Nonetheless, lets see what they do in the second half.

Great goal by Joe Cole. Best goal so far (Y)

Magical goal by Joe Col:happy:y:

Radish?

One of the best goals of the tournament... I thought it was going to shoot right over the goal but it dropped down perfectly! The match is far from over, though at least England are playing a decent game... Rooney looks like a serious player. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended a draw or turned right around, though I'm hoping for an England win.

Fantastic game, why couldn't England play like this in the 2 other games, If we continue to play how we are, we have a really good chance off winning the World Cup.

I dont think England have played that well. We have played adequately, but I would not say we would win the World Cup playing like we are against Sweden!

Cole's goal was out of this world. Goal of the tournament so far.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.

      You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
