I'm happy for Germany. Still, their defence was pretty appalling and I predicted that Portugal would score after Germany's 3rd goal (2nd minus the own goal). Portgual were a good team a lot of the time, though the theatrics of Ronaldo and a few aggressive tackles did detract from their performance.

Where to start...... :whistle:

Amazing game. Germany always put on a good show :D

Portugal need to learn a few basic skills really i mean Ronaldo driving... Ure playing a football game here boy.

Then some of the portugues players thinking it was a hand ball twice when it wasn't.

But i'm loving it when everyone boooing Ronaldo still :D

Congrats Germany! I'm very happy for them... also have you notice the only goal from Portugal is on a play that one of them players did not dive for no reason? They should stop that diving thing and they would become a way better team

but anyhow very happy from Germans

I hope France wins tomorrow also! Vive la France

Awesome!!! Our (german) fans are amazing. They are partying since 2 hours. There are fireworks all over the places and everyone is singing. I feel like we won the world cup.

Big thanks to the team for these awesome games and for 3 weeks of dreaming to win the cup.

Stay tuned

Yes, they lose twice during the WC.

But they beat the hell out of your team, TWICE in a row. :laugh:

No matter how bad they are, your team still WORST. :p

Seems like the one in the need of learn some skills is your team.

It was a pretty good game, indeed. Shame Figo didn't start from the beginning since we all saw the difference he made when he stepped into the field. Having said that, it was a pretty open game with both teams attacking and Portugal controlling most of the ball (believe they had 58% of possession).

Congrats to Germany on two outstanding blasts and that good goal by Nuno Gomes as well.

Now its time for the final.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
