Germany vs Poland is going to be really good!
When you account for the slaughter going on between them in the press, I wonder how it's going to be on the pitch :p

While I don't like most German players, I must admit, they are title candidates if you ask me. As are portugal, which I enjoyed watching yesterday - they were just unlucky a couple of times.

Wondering what Austria will do in 30 min. (I'm half Austrian) - they really impressed me in an exhibition match against the Netherlands (my other 50% XD) and got to a 0-3 lead, which was later tipped around into a 4-3 loss for 'em, but Pr?dl and Ivanschitz were playing really well... Wonder how much "damage" they can do, as Croatia isn't really bad.

Shame Austria played better since I posted that but 1-0 is not really that fair.

Poland vs Germany is gonna be awesome!

Well Croatia got "lucky" with that penalty (I think it was right they got that, don't get me wrong - still lucky though).

I honestly thought the 2nd half they played like crap... Austria was dominating in a pretty mediocre/bad game with not too great football, but at least they would've deserved a 1-1

im currently at a public viewing area here in germany in my hometown and i feel like back in 2006. ;)

however, my bet would be either germany or portugal while italy and france also might have a chance.

as for germany in particular, i guess we are pretty strong and podolski and klose still kick ass.

and look at that fritz, hes running like hell down there! =)

edit...: why the heck is l?w putting fritz out? i mean schweinsteiger is not bad but yeah... maybe hes a little exhausted. thats going to be an interesting 2nd half.

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
