I doubt Croatia can score a single goal against Germany... Our last 3 matches were crap, we barely managed to beat Moldova (1-0), had a draw against Hungary (1-1) and won only due to a penalty against Austria. :/

Strikers haven't scored since the match at Wembley, and that was in 2007 by a currently injured player. :/

Score is 1 - 0 for Croatia at half time

Well, this complicates Portugal's future games... By finishing first in the A group, we are going to play with the second in the B group. If Germany ends up being second, we'll be playing them on the quarter finals... And that is gonna be a terribly difficult one.

Indeed...

I'd rather play Croatia than Germany, too.

That result is not representing the potential of Germany AT ALL.

We played horribly for our standards...

Let's hope Austria does both of us the favor xD

See you in the semi finale :D

Schade Deutschland. I laughed my ass off during that game. It's because I'm Dutch, we've got history. :p

No but seriously. That was some terrible play from Germany. I expected that last goal by Germany, just because it's Germany. They always score one or two times in the last few minutes.

Awful behaviour from Schweinsteiger though. That was uncalled for. If you lose, you lose.. no need to force a red card.

I'm afraid the Germans will get better though.

I couldn't disagree more. The red card was totally in line with the way they want the game played. You cannot raises your hands to another player. He turned right around and shoved the Croatian right back down to the ground. Completely warranted, as far as the rules go.

Man, Austria deserves to win. The first 20 minutes were epic. Such good play. And then some bad luck later on, and the whole first half goes down the drain.

Let's see what they have up their sleeves for the second half.

I'm getting addicted to soccer, too bad I don't have a team to give my support to. :-(

Go for the Netherlands. ;) :p

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
