Should be 3-2. They probably shouldn't continue saying that refs name on TV for his own safety. There are people far more into this than I that would actually do something about it.

haha please, you guys don't know anything about football or football riots. :p

Ehh, not a big deal. There are many, many bad calls in sports all the time.

An ump just cost someone a perfect game a couple of weeks ago on an awful call. Hes not dead.

USA obviously proved they deserve to be there more than Slovenia. Call me what you, but we had more possession, our chances were they - they got lucky overall. Great first strike by

Slovenia but overall USA showed much more today to deserve the win, the 3 points, and a bit of respect. Terrible call.

USA public, welcome to the world of football! Teams and countries have to live with these mistakes, nothing will be done afterwards, you'll be lucky to get an apology from the ref.

We have baseball. The epitome of bad officiating.

If I'm doing my math correctly, England wins both of its two games and USA beats Algeria, and both US and England advance, correct?

welcome to the real sports world where everything high in statistics don't always translate to win.

SVN had 49% possession to USA's 51%

SVN is ranked 25th, USA is ranked 14th

SVN commited 15 fouls with 4 yellow cards, to USA's 18 fouls with 1 yellow card.

Amazing how the team that doesn't win / draws (though American newspapers somehow seem to think that a draw = win), always blames the ref, the ball, claims the other team got lucky eh?

Otherwise, great game by both teams and quite an amazing comeback for USA.

No way.

Basketball has the worst...

The NBA isn't a sport. Its a glorified exhibition.

College Basketball officiating is generally pretty good.

The call in the box was dreadful, you can't deny that.

USA newspapers aren't retarded. I assume you mean the headline from the USA v England game...they were just referring to the fact that England was heavily favored and we were able to draw.

I dunno, from what I was seeing it looked like the whistle got blown before the ball passed the line. Could it have been a bad / unlucky call? Certainly, but they do happen all the time.

However, the ref's decision is final.

Football (soccer) doesn't seem to use technology as much as other sports do, and I really hope in the future they go invest more in it since it will only make referee decisions more accurate and fair.

USA newspapers aren't retarded.

Didn't say that now did I? But a draw is still not a win, regardless of how favored one team is. It was an exaggeration and thats that.

Statistics != win. Uruguay beat South Africa 3 - 0, yet Uruguay had 49% of the possession vs. RSA's 51%.

Thats the beauty of football....it's not about statistics!

Oh totally, this world cup has been nothing but proof of that. But I was just referring to Alladaskill's point about USA deserving to win, and SVN being lucky.

From what it looked like, both teams were pretty even and both played well. USA's comeback was certainly impressive, probably even the best in the 2010WC so far, but that doesn't mean SVN's play was just pure luck.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
