Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread

What is up with the Dutch? The injure Ronaldo, they elbow Figo on his cheek (lucky it wasn't his nose) and then they want to fight?

No one can blame the ref with that card. He clearly elbowed Figo square in the face.

Go Portugal!

luis figo is a tool. looks like he knew it was that holland defender with the card already and he played it up, like every other portugal player, to get another card.

I'm sure you will also say he wasn't even touched :rolleyes:

after seeing the replay, yes, he was hit in the face. not at all intentionally, in my opinion. he definitely wasn't hit as hard as he played it out to be. to book him out of the game, was purely to even things out. screw this game. 10 cards... ? come on.

i see it all the time with portugal. which is another reason i don't like c. ronaldo and deco. they'll fall down begging for fouls on the weakest of tackles.

But what about the headbutt earlier? Figo is a dirty cheating ************, as are 95% of all footballers. They cheat to get others sent off or to gain penalties. What about playing to the rules of the game?

And in the above statement, I include those English players that cheat to gain an advantage. Football should have Rugby referees take charge. The players would soon know who is in charge.

Well how can you justify Figo's butt on Van Bommel? Surely an experienced professional football such as Figo should know better than that.

It's all kicking off now! Such a bunch of girls :p!

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
