Yeah have to admit that my frustration with Lampard is getting worse with each game. I guess its confidence as he's missing so many that its starting to become a challenge for him to score..

Lampard is the worst player ever i mean teams from africa played better then him.

He had 3 shots at least all were poor. I think Sven-G?ran Eriksson is blind. Take Lampard off!!

i was gonna say the same thing. about 20 shots in 3 games, with about 8 on goal. ZERO goals. he squandered so many opportunities in the first round, it was embarassing.

watching the highlights from the togo v france match, ribery (sp?), is the same. wasted everything that touched his foot.

yet people kept passing to these two. i'd be as ****ed as rooney was if i never got a touch and lampard got all those and wasted every one. ugh, terrible.

Lampard cannot start now, if England are going further than this win.

The heat affected the players, referee didn't help, he needs an eye test.

We'd better move up 3 gears or it's going to be home time.

Each game England proves is only hype.. bah. Beckham still good player and that's all.

It's a shame talk about Lampard one best players of the world..

i want to see ronaldo cry. for whatever reason, it makes me laugh.

England = Coward Hyped Team. Beckham is the only good. And.. where Beckham play? not in the Premier League. So, Premier League and England football = crap hyped football.

Bad memories from the last Euro maybe ?

:laugh:

:rofl: (Y)

I am sorry, but for what I have seen after almost three weeks from England is not promising. In my opinion, England will not get past the next round regardless of who they play, rather it be Portugal or Holland.

Talking about Portugal...Go Portugal!!! :woot:

Its going to be tough but I hope we can pull it off :p

P.S. I do believe the EPL is the best league, but that's besides the point.

Lets stay on topic guys, e.g talking about the EPL

Holland is next :D (I'm nervous)

You should be, we beat you before and we can beat you again :p

I keep saying, the problem with England is the coach.

The players are amazing, J. Cole / Lampard / Rooney / Gerrard / Owen are world class players...I dont like Beckham, he do not worth half the price he has.

I would like to have an opinion from an English about Eriksson's coaching.

I cant believe you like him.

I can't believe what FIFA did :no:

FIFA sold 80% of their tickets to the Dutch Federation of football and affiliates to the Dutch team compared to 20% to the Portuguese Federation and affiliates. Why they did that I don't know and they don't explain why.

Oh, believe me, I know that FIFA isn't an angel when it comes to being fair to every federation. However, I was just pointing out what they did, which in my perspective, is preposterous and it gives me the feeling they want Holland to progress.

Having said that, I can care less. I am confident we will pull off a win to shut all the Dutch people there up.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
