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 rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
