christiano ronaldo ALWAYS scored against average to lesser clubs.

the goal he scored to chelsea in CL final was his FIRST GOAL ever against chelsea. and i cant remember him scoring against arsenal or liverpool more than once.

he is a great player for good to mediocre games. he is not the player for TOP games and ewveryone saw it in eht CL final.

He missed a penalty kick and he missed another penalty kick in the semi finals of CL and played terribly.

team play was succes for MAN UTD's glory this year and also of course ronaldo's goals against mediocre premiership teams.

so as i said. the CLOWN a.k.a. ronaldo just brought them to somehwere but it was not HIM whom gave the glory to man utd. same will happen with portugal.

Fortunately Portugal doesn't have only him. You give Cristiano Ronaldo way too much credit. We have other good players that are far better team players than him, such as Moutinho and Deco.

why would you bet agains turkey?

that is silly.

Well, generally I have been pretty successful at betting in this tournament! I am still like ?20 up I think overall, so I think I am justified in placing a bet against Turkey. Likewise, seeing as the Czech's where 2-0 up against the "future World Champions" Turkey for 75 minutes of the match, and of which Turkey only won due to a bit of luck and a massive Cech mistake...I am justified.

As for this Turan player who seems to be your gay friend, and who is supposedly better than any player in this tournament, who is supposedly better than Ronaldo, Deco, Villa, Torres, Xavi, Fabregas, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Ballack, Lahm. How come no one has never heard of him? I'd like to think I have a fairly decent knowledge of the footballing world, but I have never heard of Turan before the Euro's. If he is better than any player in the world, how come no one has heard of him...and why hasn't he been snapped up by a big club if he is that good;))?

Fair play to Turkey though mate(Y)). Although, I cannot see you winning the Euro's (and you can quote me on that), but I suppose you never know.

Anyway, I'm going to be putting most of your ignorance and sheer...weirdness down to the fact that you don't have a full grasp of the English language. You've raised a few good points though overall and Turkey have definitely provided us with some entertaining football!

first of all i do not share your homosexual fantasies cause i am not gay and do not have any gay friends. Either you are gay or just because having conversations that you end up loosing you try to humiliate me but you humiliate yourself way too much. If your world is too small and you only know players that are advertisement materials than it is your loss. Go out. There are great talents in the world and Arda Turan is a pure talent that many big clubs will try to sign but will not succeed due to his love to galatasaray.

I do not need to know perfect english to explain myself cause i know a total of 4 languages and i am not uneducated and selfish to just stick with 1 language. because the world is global and people whom live in their shelves turn out to be a small person.

You said that i have raised good points. Most of those good points were ones that people laughed ooff just a week ago. I am sure you will be seeing that even more of my points will turn out to be true.

Several newspapers all around the world are saying that turkey's last night comeback was the best comeback in the EURO CUP history. check it out yourselves if you ever saw a better come back than this in EURO CUPs.

anyway. see you all on friday after our victory against croatia.

There's a difference. Its the worst meltdown when you have one of the best goalies in the world fumble a ball in his own box and when 6 defenders are caught so off guard that Nihat could've just walked into the net.

Best comeback is when a team legitimately comes back and scores goals that don't require a goalie to fumble a ball.

Nonetheless, it was a very entertaining match and I congratulate the Turks.

It's gonna be a tough one... I'd give 50/50 chances to each... Austria will be certainly motivated enough to win + the support, while Germany will mostly think about the possible failure (advancing to the quarterfinals isnt a succes for them...)

Poland will probably beat Croatia, cause they're gonna play with 8 non-standard players (perhaps even 9, possibly the goalie will be replaced too)

What I'm really looking forward to is tommorows match between France and Italy :D

also turkey was terrible between 2002 and 2007. but now we are so good that argentina would never stand a chance against turkey.

Argentina and Brazil. two teams that do not play by heart. stars always let you down. Remember when real madrid was los galacticos? they earned NOTHING.

anyway.

turkey would crash argentina. but thats not todays conversation. we will talk about this in 2 years.

31 time La Liga Champions. 9 time Champions League champions. They earned nothing? You show your lack of football knowledge right there.

And Argentina will crush Turkey. You need to make sure you even qualify for the world cup first.

If Turan was wanted by any of the big 4 in england, or the tops in spain or italy, his "love" for galatasary would suddenly disappear. Money talks, plain and simple. As much as I love the toon, Newcastle is having problems signing anyone right now, much less any up and coming talents. You can't use them be refused as any kind of definitive statement.

Oh, and btw, English is THE global language.

Germany vs Austria = I think Austria are going to win this with the fan support!

We can only hope.

Turkey will crush Argentina? Have you been living under a rock? Even if Argentina played a full squad of backups, even then it wouldn't be a crushing. Messi and Riquelme alone are enough to topple Turkey! :D

Turkey made a very impressive comeback, I will give them that. But they were non-existent for 3/4 the game. If not for those last 15 minutes, they would've been finished.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      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

      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 LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
