gerrard is my favorite footballer. that was a beauty.

never been a big fan of beckham, but his touches on the ball are pretty amazing. so many nice balls served up, with no one able to finish. that cross to krouch was absolutely perfect.

good effort by trinidad.

100% agreed :yes:

It took them over 50odd minutes but when they woke up england were by far the better team. Although they sent too many people up which left them weak in defence.

Aaron Lennon had a batter match than Rooney imo, he stretched them on the wing which in turn helped grab the first goal. And what a goal by Gerrard. :woot:

Ah great result! The points are all that matters. I agree, Lennon made a hell of a difference. Without a doubt was a turning point in the match when he came on. Rooney not so much but without a doubt he increased the moral and stuff. Both Gerrard and Crouch played crap but the goals they scored were crackers.

Whats up with all the England stuff.

They played terrible. Even Sweden played better against T&T.

We were wondering all the game why they didnt play like they did on the first goal all the game, Crouch is really tall and they should take real advantage of that.

England won't do good in the playoffs if they play like this.

Time to sweden can step it up against Paraguay, but unfortuneatly im very doubtful of that :/

time will tell....

englands performance was lacking. crouch missed excellent oppertunities in the beginning, and gerrard only made the shot because he had less pressure, look at his shots from outside in this match and previous imo. in the end england pulled it together and i hope they can step it up

Liverpool v West Ham. FA Cup final 2006. 91st minute. 35 yard volley. 3-2 down.

It may also be worth mentioning his goal against Olympiakos, which kept us in the Champions League. Without that we would never of won the competition.

Gerrard is one of the best players in the world. Second perhaps behind Ronaldinho.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
