Only have watching Portugal get knocked out next to look forward too. Can't wait to see that smug look knocked off Ronaldo's face....don't think he'll be in a rush to get home to Manchester do you!

oh, me too.

he's gonna go back to his hotel and blow ricardo, those fags.

I really don't like talking on a team after they lost, so sorry England. However, what bothers me is that from the poll on the main page:

World Cup '06 is for

England 135

+

Poll on Topic:

England 126

What's wrong with that is, all those with england nominated England to win the world cup, not because of their play but because of the love to the team. And if you notice the questions posted above, they ask for who is going to win the world cup, and not what team do you cheer for. I myself am with Italy, but i nominated Germany to win. So what I am trying to say is that you mustn't be very sure of your team, because that is somewhat biased. And if the admins don't mind, it is much better to remove the banner on the main page, not that it is annoying, but since they lost, removing it is the wise choice.

Again, here are my expecations:

1-Italy vs. Ukraine (Winner=Italy) > correct

2-Germany vs. Argentina (Winner=Germany) > correct

3-England vs. Portugal (Winner=Portugal) > correct

4-Brazil vs. France (Winner=Brazil)

5-Italy vs. Germany (Winner=Germany)

6-Brazil vs. Portugal (Winner=Brazil)

7-Brazil vs. Germany (World Cup Winner=Germany)

To be perfectly honest, England SHOULD have won that. They were by far the better team. I think the ref was biased, and there are so many dirty cheating tards on that portugese team it's unbelieveable, especially Ronaldo *shudders*.

Unlucky England, shame they couldn't get through. Although im surprised Portugal couldn't win it in normal time, or extra time. They had the man advantage but couldn't capitalise on it.

Well done to them for winning though. But it will be the last game they win in this tournament :whistle:

From the BBC, it looks like the ref sent Rooney off because of the push! The ref's face was straight until Rooney pushed Ronaldo. England are an honest team and never place any pressure on the ref's in any games.

RIP

We completely deserved that match man.

We did well, i knew we was gonna lose if it went to penalties though, especially with no Beckham, Owen or Rooney

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
