The story is here, from BBC:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/3850981.stm

"The misspelling of 'losers' may have been a reference to Rebecca Loos, whose claims of an affair with Beckham made headlines earlier this year."

I think that is giving too much credit to the vandal...it's suggesting depth to the writing that, quite frankly doesn't exist. Besides, 'losers' spelt as 'loosers' is quite common.

Yeah I agree entriely. Was probably just some stupid kid with a very low reading age.

Why people do this is beyond me.

It's a freaking game. People have serious issues. When the yankees lost the world series, I didn't go out and destroy something. I accepted it and moved on with my life.

To some people its more than a game. There was this guy who scored an own goal in the world cup a couple of years ago and he was murdered.

The columbians i think did that, when they came home from the world cup after doing really badly some of the players actually feared for their lives,

absolutely crazy.

People who do things like this just annoy me so much for being so selfish, i can't help it.

I know this is not the main point of this but that picture was worth ?7500.

easy to do when you know that losing the world series means your owner will spend twice as much money the next season to make sure it doesnt happen again.

Nothing is stopping any other teams from doing it. Maybe instead of hording the money for their pockets, they could spend it on their teams. George gets money from attendance, tv rights, and so much more. Why shouldn't he use it on his team? Give me one reason he shouldn't take his own money if it means making his team better.

Anyways, people have issues. The team lost a championship. There won't be anymore I guess. :rolleyes:

It is best to know what you're writing about before you actually write it.

The death of the colombian player had nothing to do with the own goal scored in USA 94'. Colombian players do not fear for their lives as some of you seem to think, you don't know this, you don't live there.

"Playing for Colombia in the 1994 World Cup, Andres Escobar inadvertently scored a goal into his own net in a 2–1 loss to the U.S. Ridiculed endlessly across his homeland, one night Escobar [tragically] confronted a group of his deriders. As he got into his car to drive away, one of them pulled out a gun and emptied six shots into him, reportedly punctuating each shot by shouting, 'Goal!'"

you obviously don't live in europe... they take soccer or "football" very serious. you obviously never seen a football riot either... hundreds die during those things. i come from scotland, and they got 4 sometimes 5 chanels over there, without cable. the only sport that is on over there is football, no other sport can survive... they tried hockey, no one showed up, tried american football, no one showed up again.

people go crazy without football over there.. and serves beckham right... he's worth millions, he "was" the best player in the league... now he's lost it.. he sucks now. he missed 2 goals! in pelenty shots.. i thought those were sure shots!

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By Case_f · Posted

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
