aw man, film that XD I really want to see that... by the way, Alfista - you can support your team and NOT be condescending or negative towards others/other teams as well you know...

Hoping for a good match tonight - Hiddink NEVER stranded in the group phase before. Never. No matter how grim the situation was (world cup Australia and Netherlands for example) yet Sweden has a solid team, not the best IMO, but very solid nontheless.

It will depend alot on which Zlatan show up to play.

There's more than one Zlatan??? :o hehe j/k

He will play from start, quite a gamble though as his injury's been playing up recently....

Anyways, I hope we pull it through against the Russians and meet that strange orange team in the quarters. ;)

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

Buffon is quite possibly the most overrated goal keeper in the game right now. I don't think he's that great, and I'm Italian. I LOVE the Azzuri, but Buffon needs help. With Cannavaro out to injury, Buffon has to step it up. He had it easy in the World Cup, but at least he's making some decent plays now.

Still good to see Italy advance over France! That's twice now, and no Zidane to blame. Well, the french like to blame Matterazi, so at least you can't blame him this time either. Good on them, I can't wait to see who makes it past the quarters.

And I agree with the assessment of Toni, I don't think he's the best person, but he's probably the best Italian for the job. He's a great club player, and you have to base your National team around your club players.

Looks like it's going to be Spain next!

I am so glad the games are being broadcast here in the US.

Tell me about it. I paid $300+ 4 years ago to watch Euro 2004 on PPV here in the states. Glad ESPN is starting to transmit more and more games.

Before today's game, I thought the Netherlands would have an easy Quarter-Final win against either Sweden or Russia but my view has changed. Watching Russia dominate like they did today has me optimistic that the Dutch vs Russia game will be a great game. The Dutch and Russians play very similar football if you have watched them play, the exception being the game they had with the Spaniards.

Many of us are giving the Dutch an easy victory in the Quarters, for good reason, but I will state it now: watch out for the Russians.

In a side note, Greece lost again and got what they deserved for the way they played their first game.

I agree. I really enjoyed the way the Russians played and it was my favorite match so far, more than the two other games the Dutch played well in.

Russia is looking very dangerous.

russia dangerous?

did you see their silly strikers... as if they are handicapped to score goals. i dont even know how could they score the other two goals.. any way. Russia will be a piece of cake for Holland.

Also you said this is your fav. match so far.

come on. be honest.

remember the adrenalyn on Turkey vs Czech Republic game? that was the game of the tournament and everyone knows it. Even a brittish spokesman said during the game "i would not be suprised if a martian UFO lands to the stadium. by far the most entertaining and dramatic game of the tournament in many years"

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. :)

haha lol

honestly..

if Croatia beats turkey i am going to go to the Croatian embassy in Turkey and stand there for 1 week and not eat anything.

Yeah Russia is going to be tough

Indeed, even I was surprised. They could have been 6-0 up if they put away their chances. I'm looking forward to the match between Holland and Russia, I'm sure sparks will fly!

I can understand your enthusiasm for your team, but toning it down a little might help you win some fans, instead of alienating them, wouldn't you agree?

haha lol

I rather you just say that Croatia deserved to be winners, if they win. Starving yourself just because your team didn't win is the high point of stupidity, not to mention that the Turkey football team could care less if you did it for them.

Scirwode

I partly saw the Sweden - Russia match yesterday.

I agree that they will be a strong opponent against the Netherlands saturday. However, Russia had so many chances, especially in the end when Sweden's defence was ... missing? They should have used those chances though. If they can't score when facing the Swedish keeper, I wonder how they will manage when they're facing van der Sar. If our defence will even let them through. :p

I don't know, I'm not great at these predictions. I just think that the Netherlands will have to work for it, but it won't be an impossible win. Hiddink knows Dutch football, heck he even taught Russia to play Dutch footbal. But I still think van Basten will have the upper hand. His players are just more naturally talented imo.

Then again, you never know with football (and Dutch people). It could just be their last match saturday. :p

How old are you? 14?

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
