Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

Yeah I bet you'd keep your cool live too if I started making 'certain innuendos' about your mother, perhaps your sister and a little racial slur in the mix.

Easy to judge, hard to understand.

Not in the position of having more chances than your team of winning the worldcups. Actually, pretty easy to understand. If you get easily effected by vocal swearing like that, I'm sure you wouldn't get too far in football matches.

However, I'm not slaying Zidane for his skills, which he has. I believed him to be one of the best players around, and was pretty sad once he did that. But again, it's pretty simple if you think about it.

THink about it guys a veteran like Zidane WOULD NEVER do anything stupid like that if there wasnt legit reason for him to do it. The whole world cup he has been cool calm hardly EVER argues with the officials. Definately provoked

I agree. Zidane is usually very calm and it was his last match - I can't believe he do anything like that at all unless he was seriously insulted/provoked by the Italian player. It was obviously calculated by Zidane. I'd like to find out exactly what happened.

Funny how you say "ha" when they are the only team to not lose to Italy even playing 10 v 9 for the whole half :laugh:

Erm, that was a lucky own goal commited by Italy. If they hadn't then, it would be 1-0. I mean, are you proud of America's early exit from Round 1?

Ok can we stop this deserving win BS for Italy because of Zidane? I will repeat what I said before, Italy's players are just as bad. Franky I'm surprised they made it this far. France > Italy PERIOD.

You didn't hear? Italy won. Be depressed and stay in denial if you wish. We'll all be waiting in reality for ya'...

Lucky goal or not, they tied 1-1. It was more embarrassing for Italy than for the US, considering they were playing with one more man for 40 minutes and still couldn't beat a supposedly "bad" US team.

P.S. I don't know if I should be proud or not, considering I am not American :whistle:

THe team with th least brain explosions won....but goddamn that Grosso :(....

iuno Zidane seemed a bit p***y after Buffon blocked his goal... i think he was just a tired old man..who wanted to go off with a bang :pinch:

In the end beisdes the lapse in the first 1/2 which led to the penalty..the itlaian defence was pretty tight, the french didnt convert their many chances so luck played out to the italians

btw, i didnt want italy to win .. :no: but they did so meh..

no matter what was said, zidane took an ugly turn today. this is very disappointing. said that this may be his last moment on the field and that's how it's left. very sad.

trezeguet choked. with his fresh legs, he should've nailed that.

france having all 3 of their top players out, from injury, booking, and sub, it's no wonder they lost. i've never been so disappointed by someone i admire like that. :(

i die a happy man today. not that i want to. i've been waiting for this since the day i was an azzuri fan about 10 years ago.i was not born when they won in 1982 much less a fan.

france was the better team during the second half of the match but we won on penalties. wasn't that a feat for italy considering how we only won once on penalties out of the 5 times.

now its 2/6. i still dont like the italys going into penalties.

You didn't hear? Italy won. Be depressed and stay in denial if you wish. We'll all be waiting in reality for ya'...

WEll FRance were the better team....Italy jus had luck on their side...when it came to the end...no need to b such a b**** :crazy: no one likes a sore winner...when ppl lose they feel bad so leave it at that :cool:

No they were for sure not. They lost, and Italy won, their is no way around it. If france was the better team they would have won. France didnt play good enough to win, so they lost, if they played better they might have won, but the didnt so they lost. So quit making excuses.

You didn't hear? Italy won. Be depressed and stay in denial if you wish. We'll all be waiting in reality for ya'...

the only reason why italy won is by accidental miss by the french player. you are very very blind mate, or just dont have a clue about footie.

@ Temp thread close.

Football hooligans, everywhere, even neowin!

yeah! those damn britis!!!! :p

I'm french, and it's very very difficult for me.... :(

French team was a great team, the best I think, Itay was better only on the 1st half time.

I think it's very hard to lose World Cup on penalty kicks.... :cry:

Materazzy is a ****ing man, he offensed Zidane's mother. it's normal Zidane thrust his forehead into the chest of Marco Materazzi.... :crazy:

Italy don't merit World Cup. For example Germany a very good team and fair play team. I preffered that is Germany vs France on finale.

France was just ridiculous against the Italian defence... and the penalty for France didn't exist, I call this "divine justice".

Italy is the best team... Italy is the champion... France is the first of the lasts.

Very lucky.............

Italy don't play better, Italy don't view ball after 1st half time.............

    • 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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
