Villa you beauty, you just won me ?40:DD!!!

I celebrated that like a Liverpool goal!!

i celebrated when our boy scored like it was a liverpool goal. I even got excited with dirk scored against my french like it was a liverpool goal, our future is good:)).

Poor Greece, was it a fluke they won it in 2004?

Out of interest not trying to be nasty towards Greek team.

greeks play garbage boring football. Last game the commentator said "here are greece tippy toeing towards the center line, oh never mind that, they just gave it back to their keeper" The ENTIRE crowd starting booing them. They play the worst football in the world. The fact they won a single game last euro is amazing let alone winning the entire thing...

It doesn't have to be pretty to be effective. And you do realize that they are here while England isn't right? They must not be that bad. It's "fans" like you that are the ruining the game for the rest of us that actually know something about the sport.

How's he ruining the game for you just by stating the obvious? Greeks play the kind of football everyone despises, and pretty much everyone is glad that they lost. If they actually tried against Sweden, instead of defending 99.9% of the time, they might've made it to the second round.

looking at the Sweden - Spain game now... Shame about that last goal, however felt well deserved from Spain's side.

They had loads of opportunities. Let's just hope we manage to fight off those crazy Russians, would be fun to meet Holland again in the quarter final as in 2004. :)

I agree that Greece plays some horrendous football and I stated this in the beginning of this thread, however, Greece actually played some football today. They actually went up the field as a team and they had some very good chances throughout the game. I was pleasantly surprised.

Nonetheless, Greece deserves to be out of the tournament. If they made it through to the next round, it would be Euro 2004 all over again with them stuffing 10 players in the back, scoring on a free kick/corner kick, and winning every game 1-0 while making each game as boring as golf.

Because the more people scream for "pretty" football, the lower the quality of the games played. The games are played to see who is the better team, and the team that best executes their game plan. It's NOT so that "fans" can see nice bicycle kicks and all that kind of crap for entertainment. We are watching footy, not the WWE right?

That is not the point. The point is that Greece's opponents want to play football and Greece doesn't play football. Greece sits in the back for 80 minutes defending and passing the ball back and forth to and from their goalie. If their opponents do not pressure them, which Sweden didn't, then they do not come forward which is why they were boo'd nearly all game.

Greece is a good team, believe it or not. If their coach actually had a gameplan instead of just defending, they would get far. They showed today that they can play some good football but when its not a must-win game, they do not play like they did today. They will settle for a 0-0 draw.

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

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
