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!

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
