Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

Ronaldo in tears, thats made my day! To all the portuguese out there - you'll never reach a final!

You know what was better than that? Beckham crying like a little kid like his mother didn't buy him a candy bar. To all the English out there - you'll never reach the semis again!

Also, The Portugese fans seem to have a low tolerance of losing, lots of "Bowing" was heard when France went on offense, since the beginning of the game.

No, I don't think it was the portuguese fans... probably the sore english... they booed everytime Ronaldo touched the ball. Talk about bad loosing...

Awww.. bye bye Portugal!

Even world diving champion Ronaldo couldn't help you this time around. As an Englishman it has been a weird experience cheering France for the last 94 minutes but I felt it was my duty! I hope they go all the way and win it again!

Yeah I noticed, Why though? He's on their team FFS! What is up with these damn Portugese people (No offence!)

Why would you think it was the Portuguese booing Ronaldo? If you didn't know, it were the English and some French fans that were booing Ronaldo in the stadium. The Portuguese were the minority in the stadium and I am sure their boo's couldn't be heard even if they were booing, which they weren't.

lmao anybody listening to the crowd and how they boo ronaldo as soon as he touches the ball? funniest thing ever.

LOL i was loving that. What a cry baby i mean he tried to get a free kick nearly everytime. Needs to learn the "basic" football rules :rofl:

70minutes of pure ronaldo bashing :D :D :D :D Best day ever!!

Good goal by France. Now Germany vs Portugal. Gonna be a good one but think Germany will win it :p

We've already won a world cup, something Portugal has never or will never do :woot:

Seems we have an aspirant to witch or something... If you can predict the future, why were you so distraut when England lost...? Makes no sense to me, really.

If I may put this out there, I would say that Germany and Portugal got what was coming. IMHO, Argentina played better than Germany but Germany won. But they were eliminated in their next game. I didn't see the Portugal vs. England game but many say that England played better, especially with 10 players. And then Portugal gets knocked out the next round. It's as if revenge took it's toll.

Both teams played very well, congrats to France. However, I must give props to Portugal for pushing it to the end. Both semi final games were very well played, not many fouls or cards, no controversial goals; good games overall :yes:

Its alright guys. France played very well and deserved the win because Portugal couldn't score. I'm just happy we had the chance to play a semi-final while England was home watching from their 52" Plasmas booing at the TV when Ronaldo had the ball.

Ive never seen so many blatent dives in one game, i felt embarrased watching it! Glad to see the back of Portugal!

<Snipped due to size>

well mainly by ronaldo. anyway i cant wait to see portugal loosing again on saturday!

I agree, they just can't accept defeat. And having stayed there just to boo Ronaldo is a good proof of that.

They must love the Portuguese team if they paid for the tickets to go watch them play.

Go England! Thanks for the support from your home and from the stadium!

Its alright guys. France played very well and deserved the win because Portugal couldn't score. I'm just happy we had the chance to play a semi-final while England was home watching from their 52" Plasmas booing at the TV when Ronaldo had the ball.

Couldn't agree more.

France won they deserved it, good first half both teams.

Good luck for both teams on the finals France and Italy.

Now it's time to have 3 or four pages of "portugal lost!!111 lolerskates OMFGZ.... Ronaldo suxorz" full of uk kiddies who care more about bashing the other teams then why they suck at footbal.

Maybe you could learn some sportsmanship and accept defeat for what it is, and remenber that when saying portugal sucks you are adminting to sucking even more lol.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
