Too bad you lost interest before the un-folding of a great event.

This is how i see it

Italy = trying to re-create the past glories ( 3 world cup wins aint it ? )

Germany = great host + Klose as the golden boot player

France = a nice farewell tribute to Zidane

Portugal = lots of already yellow and red card players lets see who plays the semi's

Oh my god! Two unimaginable results today!

England lose, Brazil lose!

I thought semi was going to be Bra v Eng :s

England is so hype, they never played good football, what's wrong with you all? :no:

The same thing to Brazil, they deserved to loose.

Did I not tell you GER vs FRA in the finals?? Where is the guy that lol`ed at me?

Props go to the referee for being professional too! I thought he'll hold a grudge against France for eliminating Spain.

well... bleh... now the main problem about the game vs Portugal is that slmost the whole French team has a yellow card :( That can't be good.. anyway still hope France gets it

ohhh! ohh! my turn, my turn!

England = gone like the wind! :p

but the real question is, was Beckham really wounded at the end of the game... or is it Posh Spice who did something... before.... thematch :|

Still, the statistics about Portugal say otherwise, stop being so lame, Portugal plays fair.

Statistics say nothing, the Portugese players fell over if someone farted at them. It's just that they're better at fooling the ref than the English players. You stop being so lame.!

Give up - just because England got beat. We're not THAT good - these other teams were just better than us, and its still a privilege to be able to watch them play! How can you 'meh' players like Henry and Zidane?!

They didnt fool the referee... they dive as much as everyone else... open your eyes, that kind of excuses is getting so boring, Portugal played better, Portugal won, England go home, accept that and stop being lame, you and all english who call us cheaters.

I never said we were THAT good. Just gave my opinion of the 4 teams that got thru!

Wrong, if Portugal played better they would have won in normal time not penalties.

Ohhh right. Just do me a favour and watch this again:

Peace :p

One goal does not show what a team played like. Don't be fooled thinking that goal represented the type of game England played all cup long.

OK if Ronaldo didn't cheat, why did he wink at Scolari after Rooney was sent off. And why did he virtually headbutt Rooney at the start of the second half?

Doesn't sound like fair play to me.

that's so true. although i had picked england to at least make it to the finals, they didn't deserve it the way they played. they were very lucky to get as far as they did.

You must have watched a different game then! We held you through 120 minutes, half of which we only had 10 men to a 0-0 draw and both teams had a fairly even number of chances. You only won on penalties thanks to a great keeper.

I'd understand if you had thrashed us 4-0 or something but winning on penalties isn't anything to get that cocky about.. sorry but you should at least be gracious in victory!

Ronaldo reported a fault, Rooney smashed Ricardo Carvalho's guts, Ronald did what anyone would do, if it happened to your team you would be defending them, stop being so hypocrital, Ronaldo did nothing wrong, why do you call it cheating? The referee saw the fault, he decided to give Rooney a red card, why Ronaldo cheated? For god sake :sleep:

    • 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.
