Russia are playing just fantastic so much energy! some people explain it is because their season finished some months ago but I don't think so, it doesn't take months to recover energy.

They are just hungry and motivated and trained well, awesome gameplay there.

If they meet Spain they have very good chance to reach the final but I believe they will face Italy there

The final will be Germany vs Italy

Russia is the youngest team in this tournament and you can see their motivation to win. They were up 2-1 and 1-0 against the Dutch and they still went up looking for more goals. If it was any other team, they would sit in the back defending the score. They then went up 2-1 and they still went back up and scored a third.

Russia plays very good football. Hiddink has this team well prepared and trained. All these young players are there to prove they belong there.

I guess I am the new "football guru" because I predicted Russia would win... :laugh:

Alfista is such a joke. Turkey will get demolished playing against Russia.

I knew Russia could win, despite many predictions in them being unable to do so. Guus Hiddink is no fool, he marshalled a young Russian team to play very good football, and this is the result.

I can't wait to see what they do in the semi final :D .

i can't believe Holland lost the game (i was out with some friends and couldn't see it) this euro is full of surprises,

now i how Italy wins tomorrow and gets out Spain and, why not, Turkish win the cup!!!!!

so as the neowin football guru stays happy and birng us his new predictions

>_< damn you russia! though they were definately better it really hurts to see holland go down, the hype around here was incredible, you won't find a street that doesn't have any orange decoration. guess it will all be taken down tomorrow anyway, so at least there's a plus.

ok

just found out that the refree in croatia vs turkey, Rosetti has a CROATIAN mother and italian father. thats why he showed many unnecessary yellow cards to turkey and not give the penalty kick.

Show proof or stfu. Racism cries now are even more retarded than your "football knowledge"

If it was any other team, they would sit in the back defending the score. They then went up 2-1 and they still went back up and scored a third.

Actually, Hiddink said before the match that Holland scared them, and the best way they could defend against them was to attack.

That is my point. If teams continue to play their game even when they score a goal the results will be favorable. However, most teams opt to not "risk" anything by going forward but they fail to realize they are risking themselves the most by pinning themselves back.

The only 2 teams I have seen that are masters at defending a lead are Italy and especially Greece.

First of all, Russia deserved to win. They just had their team set up so well, Hiddink is a great tactician - he made it 'imposible' for Sneijder and v. Nistelrooy to play great. It saddens me to see the Netherlands go out of the tournament, but at least it was somewhat fair.

Second, it is really amusing that there's no Alfista shouting around anymore? He said Van Der Vaart will be the man of the match, Netherlands would win, 4 minutes injury time and more... all of which was wrong. Family of Nostradamus, eh? International football guru? Don't make me laugh... hope his ego trip is over by now and he'll stay away or come back and act normal.

Looking forward to the rest of the tournament now - it's basically anybody's win with the current teams left...

You know, all of this brings to mind a question that has been gnawing at me. Since when did Turkey and Russia become part of Europe? I know when I was a kid they were considered part of Asia. Did they redraw the continent lines or some crap I never knew about?

Afaik, the part of Turkey west of the Bosporus is geographically Europe, where the eastern part would be Asia. Russia I'm not too sure about but I believe it's something like Moscow+10 miles to the east and then everything west of that would be officially Europe.
hahahaha

you LOOSER

how many time swill you say that turkey will get destroyed?

i mean enough is enough man

czech republic?

croatia?

do they remind you something you said?

very similar to russian comment you just made

I think that's gone too far. I have no problems if you support your team or what not but berating another person for his support to his team is just plain arrogance. Discussion is one thing, outright taunting is another.

Also me being wrong about holland.

Even the greatest minds in the history of humankind make very small mistakes.

Me being that greatest mind. a small mistake is acceptable and that mistake will turn into a victorious right comment later on.

Right... :blink: . I sense the men in white coats are closing in.

Still i have said the MOST CORRECT things about football in this forum.

please next time when there is another forum about such a tournament

such as WC 2010... please study some football starting 2009.

Sorry, I don't waste my time studying to have a major in football. I've got better things to do than stoop to your level :cool: .

Turkey won beat switzerland

turkey wont beat czech republic

turkey wont beat croatia

and now turkey wont beat germany

My soothsayer just told me that Turkey will beat Germany, he consulted its entrails so it must be true.

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh

RIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

Alright, I get it. You're always right and we foolish mortals are always wrong :laugh: .

    • 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.
