A few hours later Mens Air Jordan 13 Altitude Retro Black Altitude Green 414571-042 Sale , their wish came true and after the Germans beat Nigeria 2-0 in the other semifinal one of the most intriguing sub-plots of the Olympics was set: an under-23 version of the unforgettable 2014 World Cup semifinal that finished Brazil 1, Germany 7.
That six-goal mauling left a huge scar on Brazil’s footballing psyche and as the chants showed, fans are desperate to get revenge if not on the full German side, then at least on a German side.
Most of his teammates preferred to downplay a potential revenge match and Santos was one of the few to admit there will be a special atmosphere at the Maracana when two of the greatest national teams in the world meet tomorrow.
“I don’t see it as being about revenge, for me it’s an opportunity,” said the Atletico Mineiro defender. “It will be an opportunity to turn around something the fans today talk about as a difficult defeat. God willing, we’ll reverse that score line.”
In reality, the similarities between that game and tomorrow’s don’t go much farther than the names on the tickets.
The teams that play the Olympic tournament comprise players under the age of 23 Cheapest Mens Air Jordan 13 Love & Respect Pack White Clearance , with three overage players permitted on each team. Neymar is the only player on either squad to have played in the 2014 World Cup and he missed the Germany game through injury.
And although neither side has won the Olympic gold, communist East Germany won it in 1976, that is largely irrelevant to Germany but of huge importance to Brazil and it has gone all out to break its gold medal hoodoo.
Brazil called up Neymar, arguably its only world-class player, as well as a host of its top performers that includes Gabriel Jesus Cheap Mens Air Jordan 12 Dark Grey Retro 130690-005 Clearance , who signed for Manchester City last month for 27 million pounds (US$35.5 million); Gabriel Barbosa, the 19-year old striker nicknamed Gabigol; and PSG defender Marquinhos.
Brazilian sides were happy to let their players miss league duty to play in the Olympics because they are so desperate to win that one elusive title.
German sides, meanwhile, were reluctant to let their top stars prioritize the Olympics over the Bundesliga and clubs are not obliged to release them.
Germany came to Brazil with no players from the country’s dominant club Bayern Munich and only four from the other three clubs that finished in the top four of last year’s Bundesliga.
As if those advantages were not enough, Brazil will have home advantage.
Facebook VP of VR Hugo Barra made a surprise announcement during Qualcomm’s press conference at CES. Barra previously led Xiaomi’s international efforts. So it wasn’t that surprising to see him announce a new partnership between Xiaomi Cheap Jordan Jumpman Pro For Sale , Qualcomm and Facebook.
“Xiaomi is our hardware partner for launching Oculus Go globally,” Barra said. “Oculus and Xiaomi are jointly announcing a new standalone VR product that is designed specifically for the Chinese market.”
There are two different news items in this statement. First, while Facebook already announced the Oculus Go, it isn’t shipping yet. It looks like Xiaomi is going to manufacture the Oculus Go for most of the world.
Second, Xiaomi is launching a standalone VR headset for the Chinese market specifically. This new headset is called the Mi VR Standalone. And it looks and works just like the Oculus Go.
The Oculus Go works without a PC Cheap Jordan XXX1 For Sale , and you don’t need a smartphone either. It’s $199 standalone headset that has everything you need to run VR games and applications. The Oculus Go and Mi VR Standalone are going to use two different interfaces and SDKs. The Xiaomi headset is going to feature the Mi VR SDK while the Oculus Go is going to run the Oculus Platform SDK.
The Oculus Go and Xiaomi VR Standalone both use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 system-on-a-chip and a WQHD LCD screen. It runs all Gear VR titles. So if you don’t have a Samsung phone that works with the Gear VR case, the Oculus Go is an affordable headset to get started.
Xiaomi’s VP of Mi Ecosystem and Head of Mi Lab Thomas Tang showed the two headsets on the big screen and joked about the fact that they’re basically the same device with two different logos. Facebook is still mostly banned in China, and Xiaomi is a well-known brand. That could be the reason why Facebook and Xiaomi are going to use the Xiaomi brand in China.(Agencies)
