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.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
