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.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
