GOOD!! that idiot!

this referee is unbelievable. that kick to robben's arm and no call?! holland is getting hosed on every call.

Yes, Holland is getting hosed :rolleyes:

Good job to the Dutch team for getting what they wanted: getting Ronaldo out of the game.

Costinha is a moron. I don't understand why Petit or Tiago didn't play in his spot.

Oh My God !!!

This World Cup has the worst referees ever.

They give yellow cards for nothing and there is some real foul they say nothing.....ffs.

The dutch player that hit C. Ronaldo should be out with a red card.

But good game from Portugal.

Thank you! Whatever happened to FIFA's no tolerance rule for fouls like that? :no:

You said that it took C.ROnaldo out of the game ?

Maybe out of the world cup...depending on the injury he wont be able to recover.

Ffs, im sure that was planned before the game start.

what about the kick to robben? is that not worthy of at least a foul??

Robben had his foot in the same level as the portuguese.

Plus it was a foul/offside before that contact.....so no penalty there....but indeed maybe a yellow card for the action.

Im telling you since the beginning of this world cup...the referees are idiots....they give yellows for nothing, then a single foul they must give the red because they already have an yellow

so, you can kick someone after a ref calls offside and not be penalized for it. that makes no sense.

no one mentioned that he should've gotten a penalty. i don't think it should've been a penalty. but be freaking consistant!!!!

Yes, that does make sense. At most, it would have been a yellow card.

Yep that sould have been a penalty... but Robben was offside... bad luck mate...

But Boularhouz should have been sent off with that foul over C. Ronaldo, and Costinha? Pfft the guy is a complete jerk :pinch:

Just one more thing... Portugal FTW :whistle:

sorry, l3thal, but, that may be the dumbest thing i've read. to say that someone should not be penalized, whether it just be called a foul, for kicking someone in the upper body, just because the offside flag is up, us completely irresponsible as a referee.

i think you all should read a little better. no one said anything about robben deserving a penalty!

Noo dude! Even with the crap referees are this year, the worse was definitely 2002.

You mean the karate kick to Robben's neck which was inside the penalty area? I thought that should of been a penalty.

There have been so many red cards in this World Cup.

YES! That was a penalty for sure!

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
