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.

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

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.

It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install.

Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
