Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

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.

stupid post and no reason to quote me.

to call the premier league "crap hyped football" shows how ignorant you are.

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.

So Rooney and Gerrard are crap :rolleyes:?

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.

Yeah i mean Rooney is getting abit better per game and i hope he scores :yes:

That game should of been ours by 2goals :cool:

Also is it just me or is lampard going abit bald :rofl: or is it just his hair short. ;)

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
