Feh, during the 2002 FIFA World Cup I was supporting both Portugal and Japan.

Mainly because of the Captain Tsubasa/Oliver Atton animes, the very beautiful japanese kit, and also because of Hidetoshi Nakata (one of my idols).

I always liked my hair in the military style, but, in that summer I kept it growing and changed into Hide's colour. :pinch:

Hey my girlfiend is one of the top officials on Asian Cup organizing comittee!!! I don't mean to brag or anything but the whole thing would fall apart without her :p. She has been very busy. ALL the teams officials call her with every little minor detail as well as the reffs and the Chinese press. It's cool though because we can go to any of the games for free. If anyone in China is going, I'll see you at the opening cerimonies!!!

Inside news? I dunno. I'll ask her if there is anything interesting when she's home from work in a few hours. As far as exlusive pics, probably once the tourney starts. In a few nights we will go out to a dinner and the princes of Saudi Arabia will be there. Pretty cool :)

:cry: Damn, I was getting really excited. Asked her about inside info and she said a few things that are not interesting and not worth posting. Sorry. Mostly she just complains about her co-workers and what things they do :p. I'll give her the link and ask her to spread it arround the office. Not all of them speak very good English though so we'll see ;)

Opening Match:

China x Bahrain 2-2

Bad result for the host in the opening.. but at least they had a draw.. Portugal Lost in their opening :)

MetaLRasaM,

yeah Karimi is THE Man!

And his scoring abilities are not bad.. He started scoring headers this season which he has never done before.. He is improving!

Well I went to the opening cerimonies and the first game between China and Bahrain. I met the president of FIFA!!! I was in the VIP section so I was with all those important people like top Chinese government officials and the AFC officials. I also met some players from Indonesia. The opening cerimonies were pretty boring and the game was just ok. I was reminded of why I don't like soccer much :p. I'll be going to more games though and hopefully I can get into it. I don't have hockey here so I need a sport to enjoy ;)

      They themselves used AI slop to convert its C++ codebase to Rust. But I do agree with their concerns.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs by Usama Jawad Late last year, Microsoft planned to begin the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on certain Windows PCs. However, in March 2026, it disabled this process due to a technical issue and informed customers that it would let them know when it would resume. It seems like that was only a temporary respite, as the Redmond tech giant has started the forced installation of the app on eligible devices. In an update on its Message Center for IT admins, Microsoft has informed customers that it is resuming the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot on commercial Windows PCs that have Microsoft 365 apps already installed. What this means is that if you have Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more installed on your Windows PC through a Microsoft 365 license, you'll likely see the Microsoft 365 Copilot app pop up in your Installed Apps section soon, too. Fortunately, IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app. However, phased rollout via feature flags has already begun and is expected to be completed by the end of June: Feature Flag1: started Jun 4, expected to finish June 10 Feature Flag2: expected to start on June 11, expected to finish on June 17 MSGraph schema rollout: expected to start on June 18, expected to finish on June 24 Feature Flag3: expected to start on June 25, expected to complete by July 1st Microsoft hasn't detailed what the process is to toggle the feature flags in its Message Center, and its public support page does not seem to mention it yet either. The Redmond tech giant has encouraged IT admins to let users know beforehand so they aren't caught by surprise to see a new app seemingly installed without manual interaction or their consent. Users who already have the app installed or are based in the European Economic Area (EEA) are unaffected by this move, which Microsoft has understandably flagged as a "major change".
