My comment was geared more towards other teams than Brazil (they are Portuguese, basically), e.g Argentina :p

Oh, so i forgive you. :laugh:

j/k

Actually i like Argentina....they played better than the Germans.....oh well...this is the past.

Congrats Italy, was a very nice game.

Congrats to the referee too.....the best one so far in this WC imo too.

I'll b behind france when they'll b playin against portugal. I would really love to see ronaldo's face when his team get beaten. I want to see him cry. He's just a little b*tch.

Go france, go zidane, go henry.

Let me guess.

Are you from England ?

:laugh: :laugh:

Ah man :cry: Was rooting for Germany since the beginning. Lehmann played very well.

Italy did play well but, almost all the time it was an Italian that would tumble down majestically and say "OMGOMG MY FACE MY FACE" when someone hit him in the back with his knee.

A long match it was, was going nuts, rain struck my dish and I couldn't see **** starting from 81 minutes for the next 15 minutes.

Now, France has to do it! :laugh:

I agree that the italians were diving, but can you (honestly) say the germans weren't?

The Germans dove the same, if not more than the Italians. Please, lets get away from this stupid dive talk :rolleyes:

When can a team win and not be blamed of diving? :no:

When they don't dive

poor defending throughout the game by the germans. What was happening in the right flank ? The italians could easily breach each and everytime. What were mertakasar and mertzelder doing ? Were they missing Frings in the middle?

I honestly thought they looked scratchy from the beginning and the defence was totally haywire. No proper markings, 2 people running behind the ball .... Sucked today to support the germans.

Hopefully France does make it thru to finals and beat the italians.

they probs were, but thing which ticks me off is the way the italians fall down in, such acting at times, gets annoying when you see it game in game out

yeah italians just love acting..and so much of it! anoying team really!

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
