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!

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
