Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

The Australia game was amazing. They derserved the win right from the start. Birthday boy also scored two goals :p

trant, there isn't any player in the world that can single handedly "destroy" a team, I'm sorry. If Nedved and Rosicky are at their best and the rest of the team is mediocre, they will not win. 2 v 11 will not get you the win.

I think the Australia had the match because they supported the heat better.

We could clearly see that the Japanese defenders had no strenght to run at the end. Plus Japan attack had the oportunity to seal the victory 2 or 3 times and again we saw extremely tired (heat problems) players.

Anyway, congrats to Australia for the 3 points. Its what it matter.

Lets hope the USA x Czech will be as open as the Aus x Jpn.

Go USA !!!

US down 2-0 to the Czechs after the first half. Man, the US look LOST out there and their D is pathetic. They're standing there just looking at the ball go around them, and their offense is invisible.

they are not even playing like they are the 6th ranked in the fifa rank (not fifth like some people here say). Heck, they are even tied in the 6th place with another two teams.

I wouldn't say lazy. The US defense is just horrible.

The Czechs are going aroud them and they do nothing but watch. I think they're nervous and have a lot of pressure to meet last WC's expectations.

i think it was a huge mistake not putting Adu on the team. At least Adu would have given them a spark.

flipping heck.. does the USA team even know how to play football? all those crazy knocks and fouls on nedved.. sheesh this if football not american football.. serves the captain geting a yellow card after several attempts on knocking off nedved..

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
