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!

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
