Only have watching Portugal get knocked out next to look forward too. Can't wait to see that smug look knocked off Ronaldo's face....don't think he'll be in a rush to get home to Manchester do you!

oh, me too.

he's gonna go back to his hotel and blow ricardo, those fags.

I really don't like talking on a team after they lost, so sorry England. However, what bothers me is that from the poll on the main page:

World Cup '06 is for

England 135

+

Poll on Topic:

England 126

What's wrong with that is, all those with england nominated England to win the world cup, not because of their play but because of the love to the team. And if you notice the questions posted above, they ask for who is going to win the world cup, and not what team do you cheer for. I myself am with Italy, but i nominated Germany to win. So what I am trying to say is that you mustn't be very sure of your team, because that is somewhat biased. And if the admins don't mind, it is much better to remove the banner on the main page, not that it is annoying, but since they lost, removing it is the wise choice.

Again, here are my expecations:

1-Italy vs. Ukraine (Winner=Italy) > correct

2-Germany vs. Argentina (Winner=Germany) > correct

3-England vs. Portugal (Winner=Portugal) > correct

4-Brazil vs. France (Winner=Brazil)

5-Italy vs. Germany (Winner=Germany)

6-Brazil vs. Portugal (Winner=Brazil)

7-Brazil vs. Germany (World Cup Winner=Germany)

To be perfectly honest, England SHOULD have won that. They were by far the better team. I think the ref was biased, and there are so many dirty cheating tards on that portugese team it's unbelieveable, especially Ronaldo *shudders*.

Unlucky England, shame they couldn't get through. Although im surprised Portugal couldn't win it in normal time, or extra time. They had the man advantage but couldn't capitalise on it.

Well done to them for winning though. But it will be the last game they win in this tournament :whistle:

From the BBC, it looks like the ref sent Rooney off because of the push! The ref's face was straight until Rooney pushed Ronaldo. England are an honest team and never place any pressure on the ref's in any games.

We completely deserved that match man.

We did well, i knew we was gonna lose if it went to penalties though, especially with no Beckham, Owen or Rooney

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
