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. =)

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
