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.

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. :)

    • Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • 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.
