Sorry but this title is reserved for Cech. He just had a bad hair day.

:laugh:

Forgetting his absolute calamity against Turkey, Cech is no where near to being the best goalkeeper in the world.

Casillas and Boruc are both better than Cech as well in my opinion, and it is really only between Buffon and Casillas for the top spot.

Pepe Reina is also a much better keeper than him, and Reina's three golden glove awards out of three seasons in the Premier League are testament to that.

To be honest, I thought Cech was brilliant, but after he fractured his skull he didn't seem to be the same goalkeeper in my eyes.

I agree with you Marty, for once ;)

Ever since that devastating injury he sustained, he hasn't been as good as he was before. Don't get me wrong, Cech is still very good but he is not consistent throughout games. He will make 2-3 spectacular saves in a game but will be mediocre in another game or even awful in the same game where he made those 3 great saves as we witnessed a few days ago.

Boruc, by far, has been the best keeper in this tournament. Yes, Poland did not win once, but he kept them in every game they played in with some spectacular saves that were certain goals.

Buffon's only moment was that penalty kick save and it happens to be the reason why Italy is through.

The good news, at least for me and all Portuguese fans, is that Podolski and Frings will miss the game on Thursday. Of course I do not wish them to be injured but their injury makes it slightly easier for us considering Podolski is a force to contend with in that German midfield.

I forgot to mention he has scored all the goals for Germany thus far.

To be honest, I really like Croatia to at least reach the final. They have always been my favourite team ever since they've played in the 98 World Cup, so hopefully they rise up to the challenge as dark horses.

Anyhow, boring match by The Netherlands yesterday. Wasn't really interested. Cool that they won again though, even with a B-team. Let's see who they're up against in the quarter finals. It's going to be an exciting match whatsoever.

Now, don't do that! Make up something else, something less dangerous. I'm sure a lot of neowinians here can help you in the quest for your decent punishment. :)

    • 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.
