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

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
