aw man, film that XD I really want to see that... by the way, Alfista - you can support your team and NOT be condescending or negative towards others/other teams as well you know...

Hoping for a good match tonight - Hiddink NEVER stranded in the group phase before. Never. No matter how grim the situation was (world cup Australia and Netherlands for example) yet Sweden has a solid team, not the best IMO, but very solid nontheless.

It will depend alot on which Zlatan show up to play.

There's more than one Zlatan??? :o hehe j/k

He will play from start, quite a gamble though as his injury's been playing up recently....

Anyways, I hope we pull it through against the Russians and meet that strange orange team in the quarters. ;)

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

Buffon is quite possibly the most overrated goal keeper in the game right now. I don't think he's that great, and I'm Italian. I LOVE the Azzuri, but Buffon needs help. With Cannavaro out to injury, Buffon has to step it up. He had it easy in the World Cup, but at least he's making some decent plays now.

Still good to see Italy advance over France! That's twice now, and no Zidane to blame. Well, the french like to blame Matterazi, so at least you can't blame him this time either. Good on them, I can't wait to see who makes it past the quarters.

And I agree with the assessment of Toni, I don't think he's the best person, but he's probably the best Italian for the job. He's a great club player, and you have to base your National team around your club players.

Looks like it's going to be Spain next!

I am so glad the games are being broadcast here in the US.

Tell me about it. I paid $300+ 4 years ago to watch Euro 2004 on PPV here in the states. Glad ESPN is starting to transmit more and more games.

Before today's game, I thought the Netherlands would have an easy Quarter-Final win against either Sweden or Russia but my view has changed. Watching Russia dominate like they did today has me optimistic that the Dutch vs Russia game will be a great game. The Dutch and Russians play very similar football if you have watched them play, the exception being the game they had with the Spaniards.

Many of us are giving the Dutch an easy victory in the Quarters, for good reason, but I will state it now: watch out for the Russians.

In a side note, Greece lost again and got what they deserved for the way they played their first game.

I agree. I really enjoyed the way the Russians played and it was my favorite match so far, more than the two other games the Dutch played well in.

Russia is looking very dangerous.

russia dangerous?

did you see their silly strikers... as if they are handicapped to score goals. i dont even know how could they score the other two goals.. any way. Russia will be a piece of cake for Holland.

Also you said this is your fav. match so far.

come on. be honest.

remember the adrenalyn on Turkey vs Czech Republic game? that was the game of the tournament and everyone knows it. Even a brittish spokesman said during the game "i would not be suprised if a martian UFO lands to the stadium. by far the most entertaining and dramatic game of the tournament in many years"

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. :)

haha lol

honestly..

if Croatia beats turkey i am going to go to the Croatian embassy in Turkey and stand there for 1 week and not eat anything.

Yeah Russia is going to be tough

Indeed, even I was surprised. They could have been 6-0 up if they put away their chances. I'm looking forward to the match between Holland and Russia, I'm sure sparks will fly!

I can understand your enthusiasm for your team, but toning it down a little might help you win some fans, instead of alienating them, wouldn't you agree?

haha lol

I rather you just say that Croatia deserved to be winners, if they win. Starving yourself just because your team didn't win is the high point of stupidity, not to mention that the Turkey football team could care less if you did it for them.

Scirwode

I partly saw the Sweden - Russia match yesterday.

I agree that they will be a strong opponent against the Netherlands saturday. However, Russia had so many chances, especially in the end when Sweden's defence was ... missing? They should have used those chances though. If they can't score when facing the Swedish keeper, I wonder how they will manage when they're facing van der Sar. If our defence will even let them through. :p

I don't know, I'm not great at these predictions. I just think that the Netherlands will have to work for it, but it won't be an impossible win. Hiddink knows Dutch football, heck he even taught Russia to play Dutch footbal. But I still think van Basten will have the upper hand. His players are just more naturally talented imo.

Then again, you never know with football (and Dutch people). It could just be their last match saturday. :p

How old are you? 14?

    • 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.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
