For all their pretty football Portugal aren't particularly clinical in front of goal, a better quality opponent could exploit that. But they were better today and deserved to go through.

Ugh, every time I see his face on TV I want to vomit. Why the hell can't he be more like Messi? and by that I mean humble, and not diving like an olympic swimmer every time he gets tackled.

If you read:

Messi doesn't dive nearly as often nor does he protest repeatedly to the officials or commit what I see as dissent by whinging; flapping his arms, hitting the floor and shouting his mouth off and of course you guessed it. Ronaldo does all of the above. Personally I agree with Javik, I can't stand Ronaldo, always a whiner, always a diver, always too full of himself. See the previous game where he's constantly bemoaning his teammates efforts when he himself is epic failing most of the time.

And yes, it's a shame that footballers feel the need to dive in the first place but even the best of them do it these days.

PS. I can do that too!

Ronaldo doing what he does best!

Precisely that. I never said that Messi doesn't do it, he just hasn't made a career out of flapping about like a baby every time he gets tackled. Which CR7 has. Nor does Messi try to con referees into getting his opponents sent off.

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
