Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

it was an amazing game, not the best in the WC(to me the best is the Mex vs Arg and 2nd Ger vs Arg) but a good game none the less

Italy played as never seen before and they were clearely not wanting to go to PK's, to many bad memories for them hehe

anyway goog game for both of them :)

What a game it was? Two beautiful last-gasp goals from the Italians. Was cheering for the Germans, but the Italians really deserved the win. The second goal was great, fantastic teamwork by the Azzuri.

second goal happened when germans understood that tehre is no point defending. So it was really a lame goal. First however was great..and painfull :p

Buffon made only one or two saves in that game. Germany is good but they just dont kick the ball into the right place.

i liked how many italian corners were cought by Lehman...that guy is the best, but not perfect :(

After waking up today, it looks like I'm going to be the one to say it....

Fratelli d'Italia

L'Italia s'? desta

Dell'elmo di Scipio

S'? cinta la testa.

Dove'? la Vittoria?.

Le porga la chioma;

Ch? schiava di Roma

Iddio la cre?.

Stringiamoci a coorte,

Siam pronti alla morte:

Italia chiam?!

Noi siamo da secoli

Calpesti e derisi,

Perch? non siam popolo,

Perch? siam divisi;

Raccolgaci un'unica

Bandiera, un speme;

Di fonderci insieme;

Gi? l'ora suon?.

Stringiamoci a coorte,

Siam pronti alla morte:

Italia chiam?!

Uniamoci, amiamoci;

L'unione e l'amore

Rivelano ai popoli

Le vie del Signore:

Giuriamo far libero

Il suolo nat?o;

Uniti per Dio

Chi vincer ci pu??.

Stringiamoci a coorte,

Siam pronti alla morte:

Italia chiam?!

Dall'Alpi a Sicilia

Dovunque ? Legnano

Ogni uom di Ferruccio:

Ha il cuor e la mano.

I bimbi d'Italia

Si chiamano Balilla:

Il suon d'ogni squilla

I vespri suon?.

Stringiamoci a coorte,

Siam pronti alla morte:

Italia chiam?!

Son giunchi che piegano

Le spade vendute:

Gi? l'Aquila d'Austria

Le penne ha perdute.

Il sangue d'Italia

E il sangue polacco

Bev? col Cosacco

Ma il cor le bruci?

Stringiamoci a coorte

Siam pronti alla morte:

Italia chiam?!

Buffon = (Y)

Buffon? Forget Buffon, what about Fabio Cannavaro? That guy is everywhere at the same time and he goes up for headers against guys twice his size and wins them as well.

He is the inhuman one.

Cannavaro is a great central defender, Buffon is a great goalkeeper.

Indeed Italy has still to concede a goal to an opposition player (only 1 own-goal).

Buffon? Forget Buffon, what about Fabio Cannavaro? That guy is everywhere at the same time and he goes up for headers against guys twice his size and wins them as well.

He is the inhuman one.

... and Cannavaro didn't feel good: he had problems with his back.

Wonderful!!!

I have no more voice: we have cheered all night long in every place ;)

I'd love to see Italy vs Portugal: it would be a great match.

... and yes, we are really divers...

Just like Totti in this picture:

Can you do better? ;)

Italy vs. Germany was the best game by far. Why? Well for starters, there was almost no cards, the game didn't go in to penalties, there was no controversial goal (from a foul etc.) and both teams played very well. It was a completely different game, clean and exciting. An hour and a bit left until the next semi final! I want Portugal to win the cup, because they haven't won it before... but if France win I won't mind. France really came out of nowhere to get to this semi game, they were doing horrible their first couple of games :o

Impressive, how come now out of nowhere there is lots of frenchies around.

A real fan will support their team in the good and bad moments.

I hate "fake" fans.

I was just about to say that :laugh:

30 minutes until kick-off and I am already sweating. Man, the World Cup is definitely not for people with cardiac problems.

    • 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.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
