What did you think about it?

I did actually think for a second that Greece hade a chance but then I changed my mind.. They did get a draw against england and did win their qualifing group but they are ranked bad.. Shame for Portugal though, I have relatives there so I feel sorry for them.

Greece coach was so right, before the game he said they would take advantage of Portugals and Spains defensive play and he was so correct. Portugal played way to defensive which caused them to loose.

Ronaldo was the best player on the field, he had some unlucky moments like when he came onto the pitch he gave away a penalty :p but he made up for it by playing excellent fotball and scored one goal...

Final result was 2-1 to Greece if you missed the game...

And I could have won some money, I was watching the game with a friend and in the 92th minute when portugal just made their corner I said out loud "wanna bet that they score now" but just when Ronaldo touched the ball I said that I was kidding.. and what happened.. They scored! Ohh well

I think portugal will go into the quater finals facing France, they will share the second place but their goal diffrence will be greater...

25 minutes left until Spain - Russia kick off ;)

Post your thoughts about the game

i though portugal played rele well in the second half afta the pen was scored but Greece had a defence of a bout 10 men lol. I agree Ronaldo was the best player on the pitch he had some crackin shots but ther defence woz huge. Another thing to mention about Portugal is ther lack of a foward right winger so whenever a cross went over to the right end of the box no-one was there.

Because im gonna b patriotic i think England will win. Go England :D.

meh dissapointing game, they were nervous and greece's coach really motivated his players, portugal needs as many said to put new blood on the field like Ronaldo, we've been counting on our "stars" for way to long and they are now all in their 30s.

now i hope for a draw between spain and russia

Yeah Ronaldo was the best player on the pitch.. made me laugh on how the commentary kept saying he had some great crosses.. well imo they are only great crosses if you actually cross to someone there.

Yeah Portugals forwards were all over the place but Ronaldo should have taken more shots instead of playing to nobody.

I swore Greece didnt have a chance before kick off though.

So all credit to them.. I guess sometimes attack is the best type of defence.

They go 2-0 up and put on 3 forwards.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
