Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread

Ronaldo in tears, thats made my day! To all the portuguese out there - you'll never reach a final!

You know what was better than that? Beckham crying like a little kid like his mother didn't buy him a candy bar. To all the English out there - you'll never reach the semis again!

Also, The Portugese fans seem to have a low tolerance of losing, lots of "Bowing" was heard when France went on offense, since the beginning of the game.

No, I don't think it was the portuguese fans... probably the sore english... they booed everytime Ronaldo touched the ball. Talk about bad loosing...

Awww.. bye bye Portugal!

Even world diving champion Ronaldo couldn't help you this time around. As an Englishman it has been a weird experience cheering France for the last 94 minutes but I felt it was my duty! I hope they go all the way and win it again!

Yeah I noticed, Why though? He's on their team FFS! What is up with these damn Portugese people (No offence!)

Why would you think it was the Portuguese booing Ronaldo? If you didn't know, it were the English and some French fans that were booing Ronaldo in the stadium. The Portuguese were the minority in the stadium and I am sure their boo's couldn't be heard even if they were booing, which they weren't.

lmao anybody listening to the crowd and how they boo ronaldo as soon as he touches the ball? funniest thing ever.

LOL i was loving that. What a cry baby i mean he tried to get a free kick nearly everytime. Needs to learn the "basic" football rules :rofl:

70minutes of pure ronaldo bashing :D :D :D :D Best day ever!!

Good goal by France. Now Germany vs Portugal. Gonna be a good one but think Germany will win it :p

We've already won a world cup, something Portugal has never or will never do :woot:

Seems we have an aspirant to witch or something... If you can predict the future, why were you so distraut when England lost...? Makes no sense to me, really.

If I may put this out there, I would say that Germany and Portugal got what was coming. IMHO, Argentina played better than Germany but Germany won. But they were eliminated in their next game. I didn't see the Portugal vs. England game but many say that England played better, especially with 10 players. And then Portugal gets knocked out the next round. It's as if revenge took it's toll.

Both teams played very well, congrats to France. However, I must give props to Portugal for pushing it to the end. Both semi final games were very well played, not many fouls or cards, no controversial goals; good games overall :yes:

Its alright guys. France played very well and deserved the win because Portugal couldn't score. I'm just happy we had the chance to play a semi-final while England was home watching from their 52" Plasmas booing at the TV when Ronaldo had the ball.

Ive never seen so many blatent dives in one game, i felt embarrased watching it! Glad to see the back of Portugal!

<Snipped due to size>

well mainly by ronaldo. anyway i cant wait to see portugal loosing again on saturday!

I agree, they just can't accept defeat. And having stayed there just to boo Ronaldo is a good proof of that.

They must love the Portuguese team if they paid for the tickets to go watch them play.

Go England! Thanks for the support from your home and from the stadium!

Its alright guys. France played very well and deserved the win because Portugal couldn't score. I'm just happy we had the chance to play a semi-final while England was home watching from their 52" Plasmas booing at the TV when Ronaldo had the ball.

Couldn't agree more.

France won they deserved it, good first half both teams.

Good luck for both teams on the finals France and Italy.

Now it's time to have 3 or four pages of "portugal lost!!111 lolerskates OMFGZ.... Ronaldo suxorz" full of uk kiddies who care more about bashing the other teams then why they suck at footbal.

Maybe you could learn some sportsmanship and accept defeat for what it is, and remenber that when saying portugal sucks you are adminting to sucking even more lol.

    • 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.
