thats right. but lehmann wasnt that good either the last few weeks. he wasnt the first 20 minutes but he really grew on the game.

the german team really doesnt have the good players, i suppose. at least not if you look at them seperately. look at podolski. he sucks in bayern but he is one if not the best player in the DFB-team... or klose. or schweinsteiger. or metzelder... but as a team, they just work very well. =) i think we really might have some good chances this year.

funny thing, i dont know if youve seen that: podolski almost forgot his trophy for the best player of the game after the press conference. gotta love his team spirit. he didnt care at all. "we were quite good". =)

france 2-2 romania

italy 2-1 netherlands

my guess. dont underestimate romania this year!

As much as I'd love to see Romania perform in the 'group of death', I can't see them salvaging much to be honest. They might grind a draw out against the Dutch, but it won't be enough. France and Italy will top the group easily - I think Holland are overrated.

I'd love for them to prove me wrong though :)

If Italy scores first, they will win; if the Netherlands gets the first goal, it will be a Dutch victory or a tie. Italy is the type of team to grind it out after scoring first but when they are down, they have to leave their comfort style of grinding it out and that is when the Dutch can take advantage.

I cannot say much about the other game. I have not seen Romania play at all this year so I do not know how they are as a team.

I am hoping for a Romanian and Dutch win :p

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      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

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
