Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

Yea!!! Portugal! I want to see everyone talk down Portugal now!

About time the Brits go on vacation; bunch of trash talkers.

Bright green and bright red, bit camp really, isn't it? :/

How to sum that one up?

For 60 minutes no team dominated, there was some poor play by both sides, unfortunately as has been the primary highlight of this world cup, unfair play and poor refereeing decided the game.

Rooney was out of order, there was no question. You don't accidentally stamp on someones nuts. End of.

The disgrace that was C. Ronaldo took over from that point. I have never seen such a poor excuse for a man. I sincerely hope for his sake that he gets a transfer away from man utd and from english football. As a liverpool fan I cant stand Man U, but he really does not deserve to wear the shirt of one of the best teams in england (grudgingly said). To go down every time the wind blows is one thing, to actually run to the ref to try to get a club mate sent off is entirely another. Then to wink at the bench in a slight celebration is simply disgusting.

Congratulations to Portugal, well done for qualifying and for being better at penalties than England. We really never stood a chance when it went to pens, we never do, but thats our own fault.

However, If I was a portugal fan I would have a slighly bitter taste in my mouth at the way that certain members of the countries team performed. It is after all a sport.......much less could be said of some players.

Summed it up perfectly.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

whatever floats your boat...

u guys r sore losers anyway... we beat u fairly...

You would say that. Then again, so would we and most other teams' fans if their team won in these circumstances. In the words of Smith, 'It is inevitable'.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

We are on about the England and Portugal match, right? If you call that fair, you are SERIOUSLY mistaken. The number of times I saw an utter ###### dive and clutch his leg when someone made contact with his foot....

Cheats. You didn't deserve to win and you know it. Ronaldo didn't deserve to be on that pitch, he's actually disgraced football. What a dick, with all that winking to the other team mates when he ****ed Rooney off.

Your cheats...dives and hassling the ref for cards...THAT is cheating...you dont see the english players doing that!

:no:

At least it was not like the "Battle of Nuremberg" :devil:

England won the WC once, give a bit of chance to the other teams. :laugh:

    • 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.
