i don't know why so many people voted for united, i go for them but they have no passion at the moment. when i watch them they look like sissies compared to the teams they play, they have no flare anymore and don't take their chances :(

i wish they had as much passion as a team like wigan or liverpool

the only players that look like they're giving it their all are heinze, ruud, alan smith (when he plays) , park and vandersar. something needs to be done, i reckon sir alex should be getting rid of players like giggs, keane, scholes and ferdinand and start from scratch with the kids and make van nistelrooy the permanent captain and put rooney into a midfield role

I know what you are talking about, rare are the brazilians that like the english foot style...and if you look at it from the standard foot brazil has, thats the only conclusion to be taken.

I dont like the english foot style neither but sure its effective (against european clubs)...just remember who won last year. ;)

One of the best qualities of the english style is that they never give it up, till the end.

Anyway, i think LYON will give some trouble this year.

The only team i hope will not win is Chelsea, just because i hate Mourinho (arrogant idiot).

im not a huge fan of "the english (football) style" either but they are not the only ones "playing till the end". sometimes i watch some games of the brazillian league in a brazillian channel, here in portugal, and in every game i saw, both teams played till the end... sadly, it seems that that isnt happening here in the portuguese league :(

about mourinho's arrogancy, its part of his manager style, it was the same when he was on fc porto or even worst... but nobody can deny that he is a great manager

if man utd wins the champions league it can only be with luck cuz they arent playin good football (at least in cl)

BOOG pinned a soccer (I'm sorry for committing blasphemy but I am from the States lol) thread?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm waiting to see the pigs go flying by outside the window. :p

This year so far Milan have been doing the reverse of last. This year they've done well in Serie A but have been subpar in the Champions League. That, plus the fact that I haven't been home to see any games between work and school is why I haven't commented more. It's really bothering me that I haven't seen a single live game yet this year but unfortunately that is the case :( . Of course, here in the States on EPSN2 they pretty much only show English team games so even if I were able to watch I still wouldn't see my team.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display. Navigation layout — Improved sub-navigation responsiveness. Disk allocation default — Changed the default file allocation method to trunc. Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
