PortuLOL.

Bad day for Portuguese everywhere. To be honest I was expecting the Germans to win, but not that decisively. There's definitely something weird about this World Cup. So manu upsets in the first twelve games!

Pepe was just being stupid. If he hadn't done that, Portugal might have had a chance... but after that it looked like Portugal just gave up.

 

Nope, the problem started in the players heads. The team was VERY WEAK, they almost didn't represent any danger. Then the weirdness went on: first the first goal, then the stupidity by Pepe, the injuries of Hugo Almeida and Coetr?o (wth two top players suffering injuries in the first game? bad physical preparation or what?), the missed penalty for Portugal and the list goes on. It was definitely a bad game for Portugal and I salute Germany for doing a good game.

Portugal are a talented side without discipline, whereas the Germans play like a well oiled and drilled unit. They looked really good today even before the sending off.

 

And I'm sorry but the rules of football are clear. You act aggressively and you're off, and that's precisely the way it should be IMO, it strongly discourages violent play. That said I really do think that FIFA need to do more to punish people that are playacting, so I can see why Pepe was annoyed.

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
