I would never bet on a team that has C. Ronaldo.

After last night, I'll have to agree with you there. I just wish he'd stop delaying this whole Real Madrid thing, and just go there and ruin his career already!

i agree totally.

Ronaldo is a very interesting player. He has a great talent but he is a clown. He cant play in any big games but he can play against mediocre to bad teams. such as Man City, tottenham, West Ham and etc...

and he is definitely a player for the English Premier League.

If he goes to madrid, i would be suprised if he can score more than 10 goals throughout the season. I dont believe la liga is for ronaldo.

Actually, I think he only wants to go to La Liga just because it's a slower game than the Premiership, so he'll have an easier season. Ruud Van Nistelrooy is a good example. Still scoring like crazy, even though he's past his best. 62 goals in 51 appearances for Real Madrid. Whereas Ronaldo has 66 goals in 163 appearances for Man United (these are only domestic appearances and goals, BTW).

Ronaldo claimed that he'll hit 50 goals next season. He will if he goes to Spain, that's for sure.

okk guys.. WHAT TO SAY..

i just told all of you that germany would beat portugal and i put 50 bucks on that game.. well it paid of. i just earned near a thousand bucks on euro 2008 so far. ı had bet 150 bucks for turkey croatia game for a turkish glory.. but added another 150 just now...

I UNDERSTAND FOOTBALL... when pretty much the entire forum said portugal would beat germany... what did i say? GERMANY will win..

When i said to the forum that Ronaldo is a looser and cant play in any big matches what did you guys say? HE IS THE BEST EVER... and i insisted on saying that he was a clown. he will always be a clown. so bye byr portugal.

Tomorrow will be a tough game. I said before 99% turkey would win and 1% croatia.. but now i change it to 98% turkey and 2% croatia because we have 3 key defenders missing due to injury and some midfielders will play defence tomorrow for turkey. Thats horrible but great gameplay like always will bring victory to turkey.

from now on respect me.. because everything i said so far about EURO 2008 in this forum turned out to be true and it will not change.

I suspect i am Nostradamus' relative. i will check our family tree and see if he is my great great great great uncle.

Damn i am good.

Turkey will kick Croatian ass tomorrow.

You are an arrogant and ignorant little toe rag aren't you?

I bet on Germany to beat Portugal last night, and by your logic, I deserve a knighthood.

i agree totally.

While I am not a huge Ronaldo fan, you are forgetting key pieces of information. Before the past couple of seasons, his gameplay was not as a goal scorer but as a playmaker. He really only started trying to score a lot of goals during Uniteds striker shortage. La Liga is almost a custom made game for Ronaldo, because his pace will seem even greater there. He would not be able to hack it in the Serie A though.

hey, a poll for the euro winner is missing here,

i hope turkish made it tonight and beat croatia and germany after that even if they'll lose the final with holland.

i'm a netherland fan and i'm sure these euro has a clear color ORANJE!!!!!!!!!!!

my friend. you are a very wise person. Turkey vs Holland will be a great final. and one that will not be forgotten until euro 2100 :)

Well if am a toe rag than you would be nothing but a dirty and broken toe nail. I am not a "SIR" and cant give you knighthood. go to queen elizabeth or sir alex ferguson for that. though Queen elizabeth would be the only one to help you in this matter.

so far everything i said about euro 2008 became true where as u thought that czech would beat Turkey. I am sure you must have thought that swiss would beat turkey too.

Arrogance comes with self confidence and success. I really don't care peopel calling me arrogant. Since i am also a stock broker and a currency trader in real life. I love being called arrogant in these matters.

Thank you for that.

Turkey for Euro 2008.

if ronaldo scores a total of 50 goals next season. I will give you my car. You have my word for it.

It is a 2006 Alfa Romeo 159 JTDM..

the only difference with my car and this one in the pic are the wheels. mine are 17 inc and this one is 18. but mine do look better. Also this has a 4.2 engine.. These are all the differences. I got the red brakes as well.

and this is the exact interior color and design.

Cool.

What will you give me if Turkey looses today?...

I want a new PC. :D

:)

i have a 10 year old Pentium 3 PC locked in my basement. it has 128 rams :) and on board graphics card. Also a 5 gb harddisk.

I am not using it for the last 7 years. I can sell it for 50 bucks here in Turkey.

want it ? :)

I'll hold you to that! :D It'll probably break down before it gets to me, though! :laugh:

I'll hold you to that! :D It'll probably break down before it gets to me, though! :laugh:

twice 2 cars crashed my car. one last year and one this year. needed to change the front bumpers each time. matter of fact i am picking it up again in 2 hours than go to my summer city an watch the game there.

it wouldnt break down but i speed a lot. usually 240 kms in the highway here... if a terrible accident does not happen and ronaldo scores 50 goals its yours.. :)

sorry though. i do not have the 4.2 version.

but i do have a chip in my engine. factory tuned it is 150 horsepower but now it is 190 horsepower :)

pray ronaldo scores 50 goals.

heck i dont believe he can score over 50 in 2 seaons in madrid if he goes there...

;)

Turkey for Euro 2008

bye bye ronaldo go home to portugal. or manchester. wherever is your home.

sorry though. i do not have the 4.2 version.

I don't really care what model it is. It's a car! :D I'm glad to see you meet the minimum requirement for being a petrolhead, which is you own an Alfa. (Y) That'll be a good first car if Ronaldo scores 50 goals! :laugh:

so far everything i said about euro 2008 became true where as u thought that czech would beat Turkey.

So, Turkey let Czech republic go to 2-0 up for dramatic effect did they?

Face it, you were lucky, you never outclassed them as you seem to be portraying.

?10 on Croatia tonight for me.

By the way, Croatia are at 1.88 to win, and Turkey are at 5.0. I'm really surprised at that, I thought Turkey would have been at about 3.0...maybe Alfista's Turkey love is rubbing off on me.

Just give a lil' support, would you? :D

With three player missing, it will be an interesting match. If Turkey plays at their full potential during the whole match, it may end in three different results. But playing fast in last 15 minutes in this match will probably not serve.

I still do not understand what is so funny about that video. At least he is showing he has passion for the game and he does not like to lose.

I guess if he was laughing it would be better? :unsure:

Go Croatia!!!

People for some reason or another like to mock him. I guess its because he is arrogant. He is still young and immature for sure but there is not reason to dislike him really, he is a superb player and will get only better.

I am Portuguese and even I think he is arrogant, or was more arrogant a few years ago. He seems to have calmed down a bit with his arrogance.

Nonetheless, regardless of who the player is, mocking a player for showing his emotion after a game is absurd.

Maybe I should show some Turkish players shedding some tears tonight after they lose ;)

Come on guys, we can't have Turkey losing tonight as this thread will be a lot poorer without Alfista.

We need Turkey to get to the final and then lose. :laugh:

Me, I don't really care who wins. I'm more of a Rugby League fan.

    • 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.

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.

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.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.
