What a game! Congrats to Italy, they deserved the win.

Congrats to the ref as well. He is the one that made this game great by whistling no fouls.

Del Piero is suuuch a good player... good thing Italy put him on the play!!

Bye Germany... good match

@ Lethal: But... but what about your signature... I thought you wanted one more for Zidane??

I thought Germany played better, though Italy definitely deserved to win - those two goals were exceptional. I was absolutely astounded when they scored the second! Top game.

germany played better????!!! are you kidding me? tell me, how many germans were able to pass through their defender without passing the ball?

but how many times the italians skillfully crossed over or ran over the german defenders.. some very beautiful plays.

WOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Absolutely, what a game! The goals were sublime, the ref was invisible! That is the way to referee a game! All credit to the players as well, there was very little diving and the normal nonsense that goes on. This is what the world cup is all about! :)

Germany, to me, seemed to make better chances and have more possession (particularly towards the end) - Italy had plenty of opportunities but were often wasted and quite messy. That's only my opinion, no need to bite my head off. As I said, Italy still deserved to win because they finished the game with style.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
