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.

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

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:

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

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!

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.

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!

    • 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
