Russia are playing just fantastic so much energy! some people explain it is because their season finished some months ago but I don't think so, it doesn't take months to recover energy.

They are just hungry and motivated and trained well, awesome gameplay there.

If they meet Spain they have very good chance to reach the final but I believe they will face Italy there

The final will be Germany vs Italy

Russia is the youngest team in this tournament and you can see their motivation to win. They were up 2-1 and 1-0 against the Dutch and they still went up looking for more goals. If it was any other team, they would sit in the back defending the score. They then went up 2-1 and they still went back up and scored a third.

Russia plays very good football. Hiddink has this team well prepared and trained. All these young players are there to prove they belong there.

I guess I am the new "football guru" because I predicted Russia would win... :laugh:

Alfista is such a joke. Turkey will get demolished playing against Russia.

I knew Russia could win, despite many predictions in them being unable to do so. Guus Hiddink is no fool, he marshalled a young Russian team to play very good football, and this is the result.

I can't wait to see what they do in the semi final :D .

i can't believe Holland lost the game (i was out with some friends and couldn't see it) this euro is full of surprises,

now i how Italy wins tomorrow and gets out Spain and, why not, Turkish win the cup!!!!!

so as the neowin football guru stays happy and birng us his new predictions

>_< damn you russia! though they were definately better it really hurts to see holland go down, the hype around here was incredible, you won't find a street that doesn't have any orange decoration. guess it will all be taken down tomorrow anyway, so at least there's a plus.

ok

just found out that the refree in croatia vs turkey, Rosetti has a CROATIAN mother and italian father. thats why he showed many unnecessary yellow cards to turkey and not give the penalty kick.

Show proof or stfu. Racism cries now are even more retarded than your "football knowledge"

If it was any other team, they would sit in the back defending the score. They then went up 2-1 and they still went back up and scored a third.

Actually, Hiddink said before the match that Holland scared them, and the best way they could defend against them was to attack.

That is my point. If teams continue to play their game even when they score a goal the results will be favorable. However, most teams opt to not "risk" anything by going forward but they fail to realize they are risking themselves the most by pinning themselves back.

The only 2 teams I have seen that are masters at defending a lead are Italy and especially Greece.

First of all, Russia deserved to win. They just had their team set up so well, Hiddink is a great tactician - he made it 'imposible' for Sneijder and v. Nistelrooy to play great. It saddens me to see the Netherlands go out of the tournament, but at least it was somewhat fair.

Second, it is really amusing that there's no Alfista shouting around anymore? He said Van Der Vaart will be the man of the match, Netherlands would win, 4 minutes injury time and more... all of which was wrong. Family of Nostradamus, eh? International football guru? Don't make me laugh... hope his ego trip is over by now and he'll stay away or come back and act normal.

Looking forward to the rest of the tournament now - it's basically anybody's win with the current teams left...

You know, all of this brings to mind a question that has been gnawing at me. Since when did Turkey and Russia become part of Europe? I know when I was a kid they were considered part of Asia. Did they redraw the continent lines or some crap I never knew about?

Afaik, the part of Turkey west of the Bosporus is geographically Europe, where the eastern part would be Asia. Russia I'm not too sure about but I believe it's something like Moscow+10 miles to the east and then everything west of that would be officially Europe.
hahahaha

you LOOSER

how many time swill you say that turkey will get destroyed?

i mean enough is enough man

czech republic?

croatia?

do they remind you something you said?

very similar to russian comment you just made

I think that's gone too far. I have no problems if you support your team or what not but berating another person for his support to his team is just plain arrogance. Discussion is one thing, outright taunting is another.

Also me being wrong about holland.

Even the greatest minds in the history of humankind make very small mistakes.

Me being that greatest mind. a small mistake is acceptable and that mistake will turn into a victorious right comment later on.

Right... :blink: . I sense the men in white coats are closing in.

Still i have said the MOST CORRECT things about football in this forum.

please next time when there is another forum about such a tournament

such as WC 2010... please study some football starting 2009.

Sorry, I don't waste my time studying to have a major in football. I've got better things to do than stoop to your level :cool: .

Turkey won beat switzerland

turkey wont beat czech republic

turkey wont beat croatia

and now turkey wont beat germany

My soothsayer just told me that Turkey will beat Germany, he consulted its entrails so it must be true.

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh

RIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

Alright, I get it. You're always right and we foolish mortals are always wrong :laugh: .

Edited by Scirwode

we could have such a great topic here with some in depth discussions and the right for everyone to support the team they like.

instead, everyone except for alfista is an idiot.

i say, lets wait until wednsday and continue to talk after the game.

i mean, just for the hell of it. lets see what happens. =)

    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.
