you are ALL falling into my baits... darn the level of our ideas and thougs are different. Though i must admit mine are a bit higher than yours :)

not that you only have very "dark ages" thought of football.

after euro 2008 i will be following the posts you write in other threads...

i am sure "dark ages" thoughts will also continue.

The entire forum i just said turkey is better than switzerland.. i was called arrogant

than said turkey is better than czech and we would definitely beat and also said turkey is better than croatia and we would kick their butt

than i was again called arrogant.

these things i said are my beliefs to my team.. they turned out to be correct...

than you use the word "arrogant" just do defend your lack of football knowledge and dissaapointment.

atleast 100 people in this forum might say that..

BUT

100 people is not necessarily right and 1 person might just be way better than 100 thoughts.

:)

and so far..

I am that 1 person. this is not arrogance. this is FACT...

does this forum have +21 threads where i can actually contribute?

dont worry about it Alfista, i agree with you. in soccer any team can win. i dont understand why people dont take turkey more seriously. they beat croatia, who beat germany. so on wed anything can happen. i really wont be surprised if turkey wins.

anyway, dont waste your time listening to all these people. lets see what happens on wednesday and enjoy the game

finally. my friend thank you. this was the answer i alwasy wanted from certain people when turkey won. instead of calling me arrogant for my predictions.

since we are in such a serious conversation with you. i will tell you the truth.

Turkey will NOT beat Germany. never with 11 missing players.

but sure anythi,ng can happen after this stage.

thats true. unfortunately theyre in bad shape in terms of the roster. many players injured and suspended. of course anything can happen, but it'll be tough

i havent seen details about the actual players who are able to play on wed. do you know an actual count?

Nihat Kahveci

Servet Cetin

Emre Gungor

Emre Bolezoglu

Tumer Metin are all injured

Arda Turan

Tuncay Sanlı

Emre Asik

Volkan Demirel are all suspended.

and 2 other players have minor injury and wont play against germany but might play if we reach to the final.

The Euro Competition has 23 players as a roster... and turkey has 11 injured and suspended. so simply we do not even have any substitutions to mke besides our 3rd goalkeeper.

why all the doubt now, u was bigging up your team in previous posts!

that wa few days ago before all these suspensions and injuries. 11 missing players. from the 23 people roaster.

IF WE COULD bring in players i would still cheer for Turkey. but at this stage you can not invite other players.

so i am wise enough to admit that turkey's chances are very slim against germany.

because we will have midfielders playing in defence on Wednesday. and midfielders playing as forwards.

so i am admitting it now that turkey wont win.

i cant see any shame in this.

again as i said few days ago things were much different.

It's sad that you think Turkey's the only team with injuries/suspensions. Or maybe... you're just conveniently ignoring other teams' problems...

Man look at the injuries and suspensions

Volkan Demirel (starting Keeper)

Servet Cetin (starting defender)

Emre Asik (starting defender)

Emre bolezoglu (starting midfielder)

Arda Turan (starting winger)

Tuncay Sanlı (startint winger)

Nihat Kahveci (starting striker)

Emre Gungor (substitute for starting defenders)

Tumer Metin (substitute for starting midfielders)

who else is having such a problem?

this is not an EXCUSE..

this is just WHY we wont be able to beat germany.

i agree

i was never suprised to beat switzerland, croatia, or czech republic.. matter of fact i was SURE.

but i would be suprised if we can beat germany like this.

i wish we could invite some players to the tournament.

Which leads to a conclusion... Your A team isn't physically fit for this kind of a tournament. It's not my fault they're injured, and surely not all of them got injured by a single tackle. The ones with suspensions should've taken better care of what they do on the field.

man no one blamed you :)

I just read this

Turkey are so decimated by injuries and suspensions for the Euro 2008 semi-final against Germany that deputy keeper Tolgan Zengin may play outfield.

Coach Fatih Terim has nine players from his squad unavailable for Wednesday's clash in Basel.

And he said: "He could come on towards the end as a sub as last man in defence or a centre forward."

Terim added: "We can't allow ourselves the luxury of players choosing where they want to play."

Going to be interesting!

Italy might win in today's match.

i believe its going to be a fast paced game. both are mediterrenian teams and would play similar type of football.

Buffon is a great advantage for italy. he is on form as well. I just feel their defence are not doing much good...

On the other hand spain has a very good squad but somehow they are always running out of pace in the middle of the tournaments....

cant make up my mind about this game.

The excuses are coming out already.

Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005, even though we had a greater acumaltive injury list more than any other club in Europe.

and when did liverpool ever played in a game with 14 people.. 11 starting and 3 subs with 1 being a goalkeeper in 1 game?

at a semi final?

where liverpool could promote young players to play in the competition but turkey can not invite more players?

Markus comedian...

people expected france and italy to be fast paced too and was it?

why didnt you show me that pic when everyone said obviously switzerland, czech republic and croatia would beat turkey?

for some of you that was obvious as well?

i want that rock for those games too...

Hm, talk about exaggerating...

Just look at your post after Turkey won against Switzerland.

and noone can change their mind?

i said now. today

after seeing the roster and unavailable players

we do not stand a chance because our 3rd and final sub is a goalkeeper..

I am mature enough to ADMIT that i was wrong in that prediction..

the key word here is MATURE...

but whom else admitted that they screwed up when they thought croatia, czech republic and switzerland would beat turkey?

instead of admitting everyone said next time you will loose...

and in each next time we WON

but it will not happen this time.

I have no favorites for tonight. Spain or Italy, it really doesn't matter to me.

By the way, and I asked this before, does anyone know how the TV channels know the distance run by the players in the games?

I think spain will win this game. Also thats a good point about distance run, ive always wondered that aswell!

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

      By +samw61 · Posted

      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"
