Is this better than XPlay's Splinter Cell Co-Op Theater?

The Movie Review with Kevin Stobo

Because it is still the greatest team in the World?

This sounds promising, even tough I'd prefer KotOR 3 or Jade Empire 2.

"I couldn't settle in Italy — it was like living in a foreign country."

Ian Rush reveals the reason behind his failed spell at Juventus.

"I'd like to play for an Italian club, like Barcelona."

Former Aston Villa playmaker Mark Draper points out where Ian Rush went wrong.

"The important thing was we got the three points."

Silverware clearly means nothing to Chelsea's Wayne Bridge following their Carling Cup final win against Arsenal. What is more worrying is that at no point on the way to the game did he ask anyone why they were playing at the Millennium Stadium that day.

"I was watching the Blackburn game on TV on Sunday when it flashed on the screen that George (Ndah) had scored in the first minute at Birmingham. My first reaction was to ring him up. Then I remembered he was out there playing."

Ade Akinbiyi struggles with the concept of live football.

"Germany are a very difficult team to play — they had 11 internationals out there today."

Northern Ireland midfielder Steve Lomas explains why Germany outplayed them

"I was surprised, but I always say nothing surprises me in football."

Les Ferdinand always uses that saying, just never heeds it.

KEEGAN ... what a clown

KEEGAN ... what a clown

"We didn't underestimate them. They were a lot better than we thought."

Bobby Robson after England nearly lost to Cameroon in the 1990 World Cup.

"I never make predictions and I never will."

Paul Gascoigne gets it instantly wrong

"If history is going to repeat itself I should think we can expect the same thing again."

Terry Venables states the bleedin' obvious

"This could be a repeat of the final."

Kevin Keegan before England's group stage game against Holland at Euro 96

"England have the best fans in the world and Scotland's fans are second-to-none."

Who else but Keegan?

"They're the second-best team in the world and there's no higher praise than that."

The man famous for his perm continues to struggle.

"And I honestly believe we can go all the way to Wembley — unless somebody knocks us out."

Dave Bassett gets his head around the concept of a knockout system.

"What I said to them at half-time would be unprintable on the radio."

Ex-Spurs boss Gerry Francis

"It took a lot of bottle for Tony (Adams) to own up."

Ian Wright shows his admiration after Tony Adams reveals his drinking problem.

"Luis Figo is totally different to David Beckham, and vice versa."

Keegan makes yet another appearance.

"It's not as good as Adams' challenge, but it's on a par."

Ron Atkinson does his level best to muck this one up.

I've guessed 32 so far including nº9 that seems to have some kind of error.

This referee sucks. He sent José Couceiro off for simply yelling "it's a fault" but he allows the Dutch coach to enter the pitch. :thumbsdown:

Ok let's go through them one by one:

Goalkeepers

No Name

1 Scott Carson | Know him from FM. Other than that never heard of him.

13 Joe Hart ; Never heard of him

22 Ben Alnwick ; Same thing

Defenders

No Name

2 Justin Hoyte ; Good Player. Maybe the best Right Defender of the championship.

3 Leighton Baines ; Who?

4 Steven Taylor ; Great Defender

5 Anton Ferdinand ; Same thing

6 Gary Cahill ; Who?

14 Liam Rosenior ; Who?

20 Nedum Onuoha ; Never heard of him

23 Peter Whittingham ; Who? If he plays at Cardiff City how is he able to play against the best?

Midfielders

No Name

7 Nigel Reo-Coker ; Great Midfielder. Surely deserves a better club

9 Kieran Richardson ; Average Winger

12 Wayne Routledge ; Who?

15 James Milner ; Great Player

17 Tom Huddlestone ; Again, another player I only know through FM.

18 Mark Noble ; Never heard of him

Forwards

No Name

10 David Nugent ; Who?

11 Ashley Young ; Who?

16 Leroy Lita ; Never Heard of Him

19 Matthew Derbyshire ; Who?

21 James Vaughan ; Never heard of him

Apart from the bold ones, are the rest better than Manuel Fernandes, Joao Moutinho, Nani, Miguel Veloso, Hugo Almeida, Manuel da Costa, Marco Andreolli, Giorgio Chiellini, Riccardo Montolivo, Alberto Aquilani and Giampaolo Pazzini?

We have loads of star power

Shitty portuguese journalists <_

Konami has lifted the lid on the first details for the next Pro Evo game and has promised that it will be "the closest simulation of real football to date." Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (working title) will be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, PS2, PSP and DS later this year and boasts what Konami is calling "a revolution in player artificial intelligence" -- dubbed Teamvision, which enables the opposition to learn your style of player and adapt their tactics accordingly.

According to Konami, Teamvision will totally change the way PES fans play the game, because the adaptive AI forces players to constantly rethink their tactics. So, for example, if you prefer to run the ball down the wing and knock in a cross to a tall centre forward like Peter Crouch, your opponent will quickly change their tactics to close down the wide players and mark your hitmen more heavily. Similarly, if your favoured method of defence is to protect the back four with a sweeper -- then the other team will quickly pick up on this and change their attackers to take advantage of your formation.

Naturally the effectiveness of an opponent's change in tactics depends on the team they're playing as: strong international and club squads will be able to counter your tactics faster and more effectively than less skilled clubs, although players will still notice the change in their opponents play if they resort to using the same channels of attack. Likewise, powerful teams can also punish lazy tactical play to devastating effect, so if you lose the ball in your half to Robbie Keane there's a good chance he'll score. However, lose out to a less proficient striker and the odds of them converting the shot are less favourable.

The improved AI changes the way the game is played almost on every level, forcing players to take a much wider view of the game and real use the full width and breadth of their team. As such the pitch scanner plays a much bigger part in the game because it enables players to pick out openings in the defence (if they're skilled enough, obviously) and thread a ball through to an advancing attacker.

Teamvision affects set-plays as well as free play too. Cheap free kicks are a thing of the past because the opposing defence will close down runs faster, which prevents players from passing a ball into the box and tapping a shot in from short range. Naturally there are times when you will scorean easy goal, whether it's from a well-worked passing move or a fizzing direct free kick, but the enchanced AI now means players must think more if they want to consistantly win.

Other improvements promised for PES 2008 includes improved greater close control, so there's more scope for skilled dribbling, tricks and neat inter-player passing moves. Setting up a free-kick isn't quick as restrictive either, whether you're defending or attacking. You can change the number of players in the wall if you're defending or, if you're on the attacking, plan runs more intricately and position specific target men for the kicker to aim for.

However, the most noticeable improvement PES 2008 will offer over its predecessors (apart from Teamvision of course) is the graphics. Konami promises it will be a true next-gen experience, so there will be proper facial animations, shirt pulling and kits that flow and crease as the players run around. Watermarks from sweat and rain appear as the game continues too, bringing the player that bit closer to the action than ever before. All next-gen versions will feature a fully functional edit mode too -- something that was sorely lacking from last year's 360 version of PES 6 -- so players can create there own team and or edit existing ones. As yet there's no word on which licensed teams will feature or indeed what online modes we can expect.

"We have taken a long hard look at what has made the Pro Evolution Soccer series so popular, and where we want to take it next," commented Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka, creator of the series and Producer of PES 2008. "With the new Teamvision AI system, we truly believe that we have elevated the game to a new level. The movement of players off the ball, coupled with the total control given to the player, creates the closest simulation of real football to date. We really hope everyone enjoys our evolution. I promise it will be worth the wait." We certainly hope so.

We'll bring you more information on PES 2008 in the coming weeks. For now feast on these screenshots.

As far as the Wii, while it has the potential to be a great system, but so far the games have just been mediocre or complete rubbish. I expect that all to change when Super Mario Galaxy is released.

I'm surprised with the amount of people on this board who still play FIFA. I'm not lying when I say that i do not know a single person who is a regular gamer and prefers FIFA over the Pro Evo/Winning 11 series.

Lol, that series of movies is know in Portugal as "Com jeito vai..." which means something like "With ease it goes...".

Don't expect another Ronaldo. From all the wingers who came out of Sporting's youth squad(Luís Figo, Ricardo Quaresma, Simão, Cristiano Ronaldo), Nani is the worst.

No it was not. It was Terry O'Quinn with a Wig
