Sorry but this title is reserved for Cech. He just had a bad hair day.

:laugh:

Forgetting his absolute calamity against Turkey, Cech is no where near to being the best goalkeeper in the world.

Casillas and Boruc are both better than Cech as well in my opinion, and it is really only between Buffon and Casillas for the top spot.

Pepe Reina is also a much better keeper than him, and Reina's three golden glove awards out of three seasons in the Premier League are testament to that.

To be honest, I thought Cech was brilliant, but after he fractured his skull he didn't seem to be the same goalkeeper in my eyes.

I agree with you Marty, for once ;)

Ever since that devastating injury he sustained, he hasn't been as good as he was before. Don't get me wrong, Cech is still very good but he is not consistent throughout games. He will make 2-3 spectacular saves in a game but will be mediocre in another game or even awful in the same game where he made those 3 great saves as we witnessed a few days ago.

Boruc, by far, has been the best keeper in this tournament. Yes, Poland did not win once, but he kept them in every game they played in with some spectacular saves that were certain goals.

Buffon's only moment was that penalty kick save and it happens to be the reason why Italy is through.

The good news, at least for me and all Portuguese fans, is that Podolski and Frings will miss the game on Thursday. Of course I do not wish them to be injured but their injury makes it slightly easier for us considering Podolski is a force to contend with in that German midfield.

I forgot to mention he has scored all the goals for Germany thus far.

To be honest, I really like Croatia to at least reach the final. They have always been my favourite team ever since they've played in the 98 World Cup, so hopefully they rise up to the challenge as dark horses.

If only the rest of the world could read that. :p

Anyhow, boring match by The Netherlands yesterday. Wasn't really interested. Cool that they won again though, even with a B-team. Let's see who they're up against in the quarter finals. It's going to be an exciting match whatsoever.

You need to start watching out for the men in white coats that are coming to take you away.

if Croatia can knock turkey out...

i wont eat anything for 1 week.

i swear.

turkey will be victorious.

Now, don't do that! Make up something else, something less dangerous. I'm sure a lot of neowinians here can help you in the quest for your decent punishment. :)

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
