I have to give it to Turkey, they didn't give up, even when Croatia scored the goal. That said, I'm also wondering where the 1.5 minutes came from since there is no such thing as extra time in extra time :blink: . The referee did everything right up until that point. Fair play to Turkey though.

Have to love the extra 2 minutes the ref gave for Turkey to tie.

Now the question is, how many players will Turkey have for Germany? 4 are suspended, Nihat got injured, and 3-4 others are injured. They may just have enough to make a team.

Looks like Germany will eat Turkey apart, unfortunately.

Alan Hansen said this at the end of extra time: "That is one of the best finishes to a game ever."

I'm actually kicking myself now for not watching the game. I only saw the last 15 minutes of the first half, the replays of both goals, and the shootout. I think those final moments from the 118th minute onwards made up for the boredom before it!

Well done to Turkey, but I'm afraid you're gonna be packing your bags in the Semi-Finals. There's no way they'll beat Germany. If they do, it'll be the luckiest bunch of gits ever! :D

OK, how fast is Alfista gonna be rushing to a computer to post on here and laugh at everyone who were backing Croatia? :laugh: I'm glad I supported the winning side (again)! :D

Oh, god... prepare your rain coats and umbrellas, fellas, Alfista is coming down on us like a thunderstorm...

What about that, hum...? From the three matches they won, they always come back from loosing... Is that luck or what...? No, don't tell me that this last goal was because they are great, because they weren't. This game was pretty bad.

It's amazing the DEUS EX MACHINA factor this team has!!

What's even more curious is that I could see myself fancing Turkey more, if not for the arrogant comments Alfista has made so far, and absolutely will continue on making...

They still play injury time - if there was any - I don't know I didn't watch the game, only caught the equaliser and penalties.

Its more BS that he blew the whistle on the SECOND for the 1st extra time... and 2 minutes 12 seconds later for the 2nd extra time, when the only injury was Nihat walking off the field(that took literally 12 seconds).

I've always fancied Turkey since their 3rd place finish in the World Cup but I agree, Alfista's arrogance has made me go against Turkey this tournament, though I wouldn't mind them beating Germany. However, I highly that will happen with half the starters and team suspended and injured.

Actually, if you take a look at the clock, he whistled it half time when it was 14 minutes and 57 seconds gone, which means he whistled it a few seconds too early. Then, in the second half, he whistles it 2 minutes past the time he was suppose to.

Croatia scored before the 119th minutes and their celebrations lasted about a minute (being generous here). That means the game was suppose to end around the 121st, but it ended past the 122nd, which is why the Croatian coach was upset with the ref for allowing such thing.

Nonetheless, congrats to the Turks. They tied it and won it, though I do not know how they can manage to put a team together against Germany with all those main players missing.

Germany will be playing half a bench team, which means Germany will sail to the finals where they do not deserve to be, in my opinion.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      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.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
