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.

Much the same could be said that Spain played a very boring game as well. While they may not have been passing it around the back, they had so many unneeded passes it was pathetic. And in the end, what did their game plan net them. Absolutely nothing. They had 1 goal off of a set piece, and another off the long ball. All of their pretty, flaired passing came to naught.

Turkey will crash and destroy czech republic today........

just watch Arda Turan and see that he is the best player in the tournament...

LOL! Please, look at this;
Arda Turan

Appearances: 1

Mins. Played: 95

Total goals scored: 1

Total shots: 2

Fouls committed: 3

Yellow cards: 0

Total passes: 28

Passes completed: 61%

And now check, for instance this;

Wesley Sneijder

Appearances: 2

Mins. Played: 186

Total goals scored: 2

Total shots: 9

Fouls committed: 4

Yellow cards: 0

Total passes: 96

Passes completed: 82%

While I'm not deliberately saying Sneijder is the best man in the tournament, no one can deny based on the number that he's been playing better - also more visually appealing. And I could name a couple of others as well.

With the comment you have about England in your sig, combined with the above, it is blindingly obvious that you sir, know nothing about football.

I think that overall, I'd have to say Sneijder is man of the tourney so far. He has scored a couple of great goals, and been greatly involved in all other aspects of the Dutch games.

well he knows something about football because england is a serious underperformer when it comes to international stage. It makes me very proud to be from and cheering for croatia as they were the one to throw england out of the tournament even though that particular game didn't mean anything to croatia.

We are already won the group and besides we have a crapload of Portuguese people living on Switzerland. The swiss aren't going to the next phase so we just aren't trying to be bad guys (<.< it sensored d-i-c-k-h-e-a-d-s, is it such bad word?) and instead we are simply having fun, also it's good for the other guys on our team to play a bit, i think.

    • 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.
