Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

Omg, this thread will burn at the 1st July.

:woot:

Too bad I won't be here to see it :p

And did anyone saw Joseph Blatter said that the final red card was "shown" to the referee and that he won't be refereeing anymore international games?? My dad was talking about that right now.

Can Brazil and Portugal meet before the final? Don;t have the fixture list at hand. That would be something to watch..

I think that Portugal can defeat England, even without Deco. England have been far from impressive.

And seeing Gio van B. and Deco together at the end was good. Misery loves company, no ;)

if im not wrong the 1st time deco played for portugal was against brazil, and portugal won 2-1 (and the winning goal was scored by deco) :)

I am from Canada and have no real favorite team in this world cup and have just been rooting for the underdog or whoever is playing the USA to win, but the portugal vs netherlands game seemed too even to pick an underdog so i just began to watch not really caring who came out on top until the dutch player was sent off for his second yellow on the accidental elbow to figo's face, after that it was all netherlands and they played hard and played tough unlike the very undeserving portugese who gained their advantage by countless dives and gorwn men rolling around on the ground screaming in pain only to get up and continue on playing secodns later, but anyway...just a point of view from a neutral fan turned netherlands fan after all the great actresses from :shiftyninja: portugal put on their "show"

Just when I thought the fire was dying out, we throw some more gasoline on it. Hehe.

Wonder when we'll see him again. I think he's packed his bags and got out of the country, how much hate mail will he be receiving

I doubt it, he did what any ref would have done. I wouldn't want to be in his spot in that game with all the mayhem.

Nor would I, he can't be blamed for being trigger-happy in that situation.

Just realised that the Dutch are the 1st high-profile team to be eliminated from the WC. :(

    • 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.
