After the England goal, they actually looked really good and confident on the ball. Fluid passing and all, then Robinson did what he does best for England again and it pretty much fell apart after that. The strikers just weren't dangerous at all in front of goal. Dyer was just... dire! The same could be said for Crouch. The only highlights I felt were Joe Cole, Wright-Phillips, Richards (First Half)

Lampard looked a little better, but no where near the standard he plays for Chelsea. A poor result when you consider it wasn't even a full strength Germany side, we had a decent team out there, they just cannot gel with each other... It's looking bleak for Euro 2008. Even if they get there, I really can't see them winning at all.

Robinson errors are really starting to come to light. One of the thing he is getting wrong move often, is when he goes for the ball. He's unsure to come and go, which results in poor keeping in the air.

As a few of us was saying on IRC, we weren't impressed with Fat Frank Lumpard. He's too attacking minded, he's basicly plays as a striker. This causes problems all the time and is prehaps one of the reason why England fail.

Joe Cole caused a lot of problems, but that was in the middle instead of the left wing, which is were he is meant to work.

At times it was always Shorey that was basicly the left winger.

The other midfielder Carrick and Barry(2nd half) Didn't seem that active, just lost.

I think this is a wake up call to get David James recalled. He was awesome for Pompey last season and has started well this season. Or perhaps Ben Foster deserves a chance for England and to prove his worth.

Otherwise typical for England really, try to find some positives...

We have top quality players but they don't play as a team and with injuries and so forth, the 1st team for England can't really settle

It was a decent match with a great winning goal.

P.S. Anyone see Hungary against Italy? Man, I've never seen Hungary or any team lately play like they did against the Italians. They were like magnets to the ball and they really outplayed the Italians even after being down 0-1.

Here's the highlights of that game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y7O9y_nNYk...%26ucat%3D10%26

    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.

    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
