Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

The first half performance a lot better than the second, the two goals we conceded where down to terrible defending. Two injuries as well :(.

I am a bit wary of Ecuador, as they are a better team than people make out and we traditionally dont fare well against South American team's :/.

I completely agree with you mate. I just hope Owen's injury isn't too-serious but it surely doesn't look that way :(

Tonight's first half performance was OK, the second half was just poor. We are MUCH better than this and we need to start playing a hell of a lot better if we are wanting to beat the best e.g. Brazil/Germany.

Bring on Equador, hopefully by then they will have sorted out the defending of set pieces, every time sweeded had a corner englands defence went to pieces. It could have been 3-2 to sweeden had it not been for robinsons reflex save.

Hopefully they pick up their game, its must win now lads. Draws don't cut it anymore.....

Netherlands v Argentina :drool:

I've been waiting for this one. Hope the Netherlands come away with the win, though with the way the Argentinians have been playing, it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Still, I can always hope. If Holland finish 2nd, they'll probably face Mexico, I think.

Are we ever going to see Theo play??? :angry: Sven should never have picked him if he's not ready to play, i bet the other strikers he dropped for Theo are angry.

Tonights performance was awfull set piece wise but we passed it quite well, as much as im glad Gerrard scored i wish Sven would have brought Lennon on instead just in case Stevie had got booked (thankfully he didn't). Overall god help us if we play like this against Ecuador on saturday cause they'll rip us apart. :no:

It wouldn't have mattered about a booking. They are cancelled for the next round anyway

    • 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 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.
