England won the WC once, give a bit of chance to the other teams.:laugh::

I'm sure your proud of the way the ref gave you that semi-final game against Portugal when you won it:whistle::

Aside from Martyn (great guy), I want to see the rest of the Brits who talked crap about Portugal and said they would whoop us because we were without two of our starters.

Where are you? :laugh:

I thought England was making a fair chance yet they didn't take it. I'm done, put a fork in me. :laugh:

You can retaliate back at me, but in a civil manner. What you posted violated rules 4-5, so take a look at them before posting.

Portugal!

:laugh: @ beckhome crying like a wuss :rofl:

Yea!!! Portugal! I want to see everyone talk down Portugal now!

About time the Brits go on vacation; bunch of trash talkers.

How is that any civil ?

Men can cry i think nearly every team had some players who cried because they have heart.

I am not a huge fan of football but I love world cups. I love the quality of the football played. I swear I am so ****ed of with England. These players get millions in salaries and yet they failed on penalties. Bunch of whips and ****ing ######

You can see in their eyes that they weren't confidant. As a England support and a football supporter, it hurts to see the quality of skills shown at penalties. Ricardo stopped three boy England goal keeper never came close.

I guess it's about time enough is enough England has to improve skill wise...

Crouch didn't do a **** and boy I hate the media the way they make this players double good once they score....

it looked like the guy that got stepped on closed his legs when rooney's foot was there, which gave no option for rooney to avoid it...

england is clearly the better team... they dont fake injuries as often as portugal

Fake injuries? Oh my... Why is that everytime Portugal wins, the brits come always with the same whinning? Are ALL the referees incompetents??

Let's see the statistics of this game, shall we? England vs Portugal statistics here. Check the nr. of fouls by England (21) and by Portugal (10); Ball possession: England 43%, Portugal 57%; Actual playing time: England: 33, Portugal: 43. Click on the link for more stats.

England didn't play well. It seems that their only interest was to make penalties. Why do you guys don't talk about the number of divings that english players made in order to get a penalty?

I know this is an english forum and that the main participants are from England, US and other english speaking countries. But it seems that there are many people here who get influenced by a few english fans and don't think for themselves.

Anyway, time to go out and celebrate!

England, YOU ARE GOING HOME!

    • 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.
