I personally think England will win since Algeria didn't perform that well on their last game, 2-0 seems about right.

Fell free to discuss!

England should win 3-0. It's such an important game for England. They must win and win by a big margin. Because, it's very important to finish on top of Group C. If they finish on top, their route to the semi-final becomes much easier. They will then face Ghana in the last 16 and Mexico/Uruguay in the quarters. On the other hand, if they finish second in their group, they will face Germany and Argentina. The whole tournament depends on the outcome of this match. So, England should be very aggressive from the start.

Ouch :pinch: I know which route I'd prefer, that's painful :o Germany/Argentina are probably our two biggest rivals on the international stage, Germany for 1966 final/1990 semi final and the last 8 of euro 1996.. Argentina for the hand of god match in 1986/falklands war

Still, if we really do think of ourselves "the best team in the world" we should be able to beat both of those :p

5-1 to England I reckon.

Heres the team I think Capello should stick out:

Green

A.Cole

Terry

Upson

Carragher

J.Cole

Gerrard

Lampard

Lennon

Defoe

Rooney

Gives alot of fast, nice attacking options and Rooney has proven he can play well with Defoe. Or, alternatively stick Rooney by himself up front and use Gerrard as a link between midfield and the front, and using Gareth Barry (who is confirmed to play) as the defensive cover for midfield.

But Robbie Green MUST play.

Oh well thats it then. Robert Green will be destroyed mentally.

I think he's already destroyed mentally. But this puts as much pressure on the selected goalie as it would've on Green, if not more. Most opportunities for success are also opportunities for failure. I'm pulling for the latter. Then I'll sit on the couch with some popcorn and watch Londoners take to the streets and wreck half the city.

    • 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.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
