WTF man it was in the bag and sh*t penalties ! damn it so no WC fifa next time from messi either 
damn this is saddening... my one reason to watch international football gone..
damn this is saddening... my one reason to watch international football gone..There is a big difference in the way Messi has to play in Barca vs the NT. Barca players provide Messi outlets to use his incredible passing range, those one two's and most importantly they give him the ball. Conversely on the NT, he is surrounded by full blown ball hogs who fail miserably in understanding the concept of a team game. You give Di Maria or Aguero a ball anywhere near 30 yards from the goal, I'll guarantee it that 9/10 they will put their heads down and try to go for goal. It's no wonder that Argentina looked so good before Gaitan and Fernandez got injured, it was because waste of space Biglia, who may as well have been a spectator, forgets he is a midfielder and basically just stand there aimlessly for the whole match whereas Agusto had great movement positioning and got the ball to Messi. Same is the case with Di Maria/Aguero instead of Gaitan. Gaitan actually looked up to see if there was someone in a better position or if shooting was a better option, when was the last time you saw the abovementioned braindead idiots do that?
Portugal may not be WC on paper but if you actually look at their games, you'll see how much the team works as a whole for their forward players. I'd take a team, a real team with good plays, over a squad full of WC players without any sort of teamplay

No players with big names??? Where have you been Bennie? Buffon, Chellini, Bunnoci, Brazagli, Darmian, Motta, De Rossi, these are all big names

Yes, none of these are big name players. Doesn't make them bad players. All these players are team-players. You will not see them conjure up individually magical performances like Messi, Suarez, Iniesta, Hazard, Ronaldo etc. On paper, this team is nothing compared to the Italy of the past with maestros like Totti, Del Piero, Pirlo, Cannavaro.
So I stand by my statement. And yes, this defence is hands down the strongest.
@hotgamerft: Just Englol being Englol. :tv: Nothing surprising here. Englol has been a low-tier team for decades now, I don't know why every tournament they are hailed as the most likely contenders...

Barca sign Lyon CB Samuel Umtiti for a reported fee of 25m. We have had luck with players from French background. Hope Umtiti turns out good
Uefa denies the 1 minute silence period for the turkish bomb blast ! shame UEFA ! if it was brussels or any other country they would had showed it so much on media and alike but since its turkey and even though in europe nothing...
england out the uefa LOLz
england out the uefa LOLz
So Wales in the semi's. Arsenals fav Ramsey will be missing the next match the decisive one, the one who was the real playmaker.
Tomorrows match im keen in watching. Machines vs prowess.
GERMANY all the WAY, just as i did back Chile in the Copa America, hope Germany wins the Euro too.

England had a decent team this time, i didn't think they would go far but going out to iceland was a shock
P.S. What a performance by wales, Portugal vs Wales will be an interesting one
If Portugal manage to draw against Wales and advance on penalties, it will be even more of a travesty than it already is. The only team to reach the semi final without winning a single game. Mindblowing

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.

XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
