Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, starting "strong" doesn't make a difference if you cannot score. What did Poland do? They did nothing except have ball control. When they got to the last 1/3 of the field, they did as good of a job as Germany did on defense.

You're right, they didn't do much. I'm just trying to find some sort of hope after what I saw yesterday. :no:

Germany can be had though.

What the hell was the Referee on!! So biased!

I know. I shouted at the tv about 10times!! :o

Crap referee :rofl:

Good game none the less.

England played well in 1st half but 2nd half they let their guard down but later pulled it together in the last minute. :whistle:

Im still waiting to see good matches. Till now im disappointed.

The Germany match was great! We have only had 3 matches so far, and right now I am about to watch the legend of Zlatan :yes:

Then I can watch Tevez, Mascherano and Riquelme against Drogba after :p

I do love the World Cup!

First half was good - lots of chances. Second half.. not quite sure what Sven was thinking by taking off Owen and leaving Crouch up there all on his own. As was said on the BBC punditry after the game, can only assume it was his Italian football past coming through - take the lead, defend like hell!

Hoping for a bit more excitement in the next game please!!

But well done England :D :D :D :D

I think it was a pretty poor performance by England in the last half. I don't know why we constantly sit back in the second half of games if we are winning.

You get goals by pushing forward (which you always need with just a 1 goal advantage) and it is so easy for the opposition if you just sit back and invite them to take shots and then don't even bother moving up the pitch once you have posession. It's so obvious and happens time after time but nothing gets done about it.

I do love the World Cup!

Martyn, yes there was 6 goals but the tecnical level was low imo.

Lets hope Argentina x Ivoire Coast will reaise the level.

Me too, go World Cup !!!

:-D

Hislop from T&B was outstanding. To find out in warm-ups that you are starting in goal in the World Cup and to perform like that is awesome.

They mentioned it during the match but it felt like a March Madness game, a #1 vs #16. I'll be going for T&B along with the US!

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
