I don't think Germany are as certian to win as people think, they've only played two good teams...sweden who didn't put up any fight at all and Argentina which was a close call. I think they have also had many lucky calls from the referee too, they will find the Italian defence difficult to break down and may have peaked too soon. Being the home team is a very powerfull advantage though, we'll see soon enough :)

ding! ding!

Germany, I fully expected them to get to the final again and with Brazil out they probably will take it all...They play very well and out of all the teams this year the team that impressed me the most was Germany

:laugh: Ok so I guess I am not as impressed with Germany anymore :pinch:

I am glad to see that no handbags a being swung around here! The other thread has actually been closed due to some serious tensions and emotions running rather high! Thats football I guess! Well done to Italy and rather sad about Zizou, not a good way to go. :(

I'm looking forward to the next cup. Being in Africa, i wonder how gameplay styles will change to adjust and cope with the heat. Less sprinting and more conservative, thought out football?

That sounds just about right, unless they of course close the roofs on many stadiums.

The 2010 World Cup is being held in my country (South Africa) and if I'm not wrong it will be in the winter! We have pretty wet and cold winters in the Western Cape (Cape Town) and although summer rain occurs on the Highveld it gets bloody cold as well! Heat will not always be a factor but high altitude on the Highveld will most definitely create problems for some of the teams, Mexico should be best equipped to deal with it.

The Johannesburg, Pretoria area is about 1 to 2 deg Celsius, The Bloemfontein area is -2 Deg Celsius and the area that I am in is between 7 and 10 Deg Celsius, not that hot, daytime temps 20 to 23 deg Celsius!

That sounds just about right, unless they of course close the roofs on many stadiums.

All I can say is I hope that we will be ready and that the new stadiums wll be ones that have roofs that can close, I hope so!

    • 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.
    • Hello, Hope all is well. I am in UK.  
    • I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
    • Or just check the script yourself ^^. I hate having a Microsoft account tied to my windows install.
