Are you blind?

Too much envy :rolleyes: (don't know if it's the right term :blush: )

It's a contact sport for god's sake!

You Portuguese are a bunch of girls.

C. Ronaldo crying was the highlight of the final.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! :laugh:

Are we really supposed to believe that Greek team is the best in Europe today?

This was the most disappointing Euro Championship quality-wise in 30 years I follow it!!!

If everyone now will accept their style of playing who will watch it/pay $100 for a ticket...

Is the club football and all the money it attracts now the only game in town left?

World Cup is a bummer every four years it is being played outside of Europe and now this, bad news for us fans all...

Boohoo!

Now's the "contact sport" excuse!

Of course it is a contact sport!

And that is why the gk cannot be pushed/shoved!

Because the gk is the only player that can grab the ball!

That's the reason why the gk is a protected player inside his 5 meter box!

If I shove the goalkeeper he cannot grab the ball, something that the other players can't do, and by doing that I'm stealing his given advantage there!

Give me a break, will ya?!

Well done Greece! I enjoyed every second of the game, awesome defending with Dellas in a league of his own. Also impressed with how they closed down Deco, Figo and C. Ronaldo, Portugal looked a very average side imo. Seitaridis really impressed me as well, one of the players of the tournament. I do not understand those people who cannot see that good defending is just as good as good attacking, defenders never get the credit compared to attacking players.

Also why oh why does Deco, Figo and C. Ronaldo have to throw themselves to the floor everytime they get the slightest of touches. Deco is in a league of his own there, I think he should win something for that :D.

LOL... yeah... Greece doesn't have any stars... that's why they play by eliminating opponent skills... Does that make them a bad team? Maybe not a good team, but smart, you must admit...

English kids (not all), stop bashing the portuguese team. Our team is better than yours, period.

Because of that kind of arguments, your country it's unloved by a lot of others. Stop with that arrogance. You're no better than anyone. When England was eliminated I saw a LOT of nations very happy- Germany, France, Italy and others. English sometimes make fool of themselves.

We lost to Greece but we are not complaining. Our football was not enough to beat that defence.

Learn with us. We are a small country but our sympathy and hospitality are FAR BIGGER than yours.

Their tactic is quite simple.

When defending, they use a double layer of 5 defenders all the time.

If the second layer gets the ball, they quickly throw her into the opposite half.

If the first layer gets the ball, they lauch a quick counter-attack basicly made of fast pace triangulations by Giannakopoulos, Charisteas and Vryzas through the middle.

Zagorakis and Basinas are used to close the wings if the opponents attacked and support the frontmen by kicking the ball from one lateral into the other.

NINJA! :ninja:

tiagosilva you faked that pic..shame on you for that :p

why can't you just admit, that greece was better than portugal. you are trying to blame your defeat on the "defensive" tactics of the greeks. :pinch:

as for my comment: HELLAS!!!! :shifty:  :laugh:

Actually, sir... that was a screenshot from the Euro2004 site!

Speaking of that, you may also go there to see the stats, to prove yourself that the greeks were better than the French, the Czech and the Portuguese! (Yes, you can't...!):yes:

Greece wasn't the best squad in the championship.

They won because they were *smart*, like nw_raptor said.

//And yes, *smart* implies the strictly defensive tactics with a few counter-attacks.

But, I'm still proud of hosting this campionship and of playing in the final. :happy:

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
