Ou yeah!

I'm sure that I could not find some who will tell me that Croatia didn't deserved to win!

France '98, Austria '08 :)

Croatia played a very good game imo. I'd like to see how far they'll get in this tournament.

I turned it off about 3 minutes before the end...dang!

Bad choice. :p At the start of the second half, I already said: "this match is over for Austria". But with a bit of luck, a lot can be achieved. I guess that's football for ya. Surprises can always be waiting around the corner.

Netherlands 2-1 France

Italy 1-0 Romania

Good tips, i'm inclined to agree.

I like the German team, they're generally very consistent. But last night the Croatians outplayed them and consequently they deserved to win.

I'm not sure if i want to see Italy win tonight (because i think they got really lucky to be in the Euro when they played Scotland in the qualifications), but its hard to imagine that romania can beat them. So Italy all the way for tonight.

I couldn't disagree more. The red card was totally in line with the way they want the game played. You cannot raises your hands to another player. He turned right around and shoved the Croatian right back down to the ground. Completely warranted, as far as the rules go.

I was going to say the same as you. There was no need for Sweinsteiger (sp) to even do what he did. He won the ball, turned around and laid hands on him. Definite red.

2-0 for Holland. Domenech is so freaking defensive and cautious. Will probably play a 4-2-3-1 and Abidal, who offered nothing in attack and support for Malouda, is said to keep is place over Evra, a Prem, Champs League winning world class Left Back. Huh ;.....

I agree. Whilst Abidal is a solid player, Evra really is world class. No comparison when going forward.

I don't think the Netherlands will pull of something like the previous match against Italy. Mainly because it probably shook France to the foundation - their relatively bad match against Romania might seem favorable for us Dutchies, but they're warned and will be extra cautious.

Also; we're shooting ourselves in the foot again, we'll probably let Robben play - and while he's a great player, he doesn't work as much for the team as Kuyt does for instance.

I'm going to predict a 1-1 in a pretty boring match where neither team will give the other space to move.

Italy - Romania will probably be much more fun. Romania should've gotten a morale boost from their draw against France and the defeat of Italy, so they'll think they can win, while Italy has something to prove as reigning world champions.

Good game so far today. Romania has had 2-3 scoring chances including hitting the post and Italy has had the same amount of goal chances.

Much better game than I expected and Romania is going up as well, not playing the defending game like another team I know (greece).

good game so far, seeing italy fail makes me happy (if they dont win, its a failure) My french boys are next :)

I am rooting for any team that rajputwarrior is against (Its a tradition!). I'll take the Germans or the Dutch.

p.s - Portugal and France... lawl! Although my blues have quite a few on the frenchy roster.

your germans choked.. and the dutch will lose today!

PENALTY!!!!!!

WOW what a save....

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

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
