So the Confederation cup started on Saturday and after a relatively boring start it really sparked into life this evening with a breathtaking match between Italy and Japan. If you didn't see it then you really have to watch the highlights, best match I've seen in ages.
Surprised there hasn't been a specific thread for E3 stuff. What were your personal highlights of this years E3 conference? I haven't seen all of the conferences yet but am excited for a few games already like Battlefront 3, Watchdogs and of course...
