Spain and Turkey were the best 2 teams of the competition.

Where is Euro 2012 anyway?

lol ok Alfista.

Turkey lead their games for a total of 15 minutes :-P. I'm going to have to go with Netherlands and Spain as being the top teams of the tournament. scoring 9 goals with 7 different players is pretty good if you ask me ;).

so, now that this tournament is over, how does a person like me (that knows crap about soccer) can continue following the sport?

I found myself liking Euro 2008 more than I thought I would, and I would like to continue watching some good futbol.

Just try and catch popular leagues like La Liga, Serie A and the English Premier League when they start up again in the coming months.

The final was a bit on the boring side compared to the other games. Spain had definite control over the majority of the match. Germany looked tired and unenthusiastic for some reason. Is it just me that got that vibe?

No I thought the same, infact I turned it off at half time.

You are not alone. The game was very dull to say the least. Of course, Germany does not play exciting football all the time so that was expected. They were probably one of the worst performing teams to get to the Euro final in history, other than Greece in 2004.

I truly believe that a Turkey - Spain match in the final would have been a much better one.

Well for one, do you know the rules of the game? Secondly, have you any watched any of the leagues and do you know any of the teams?

I actually pretty much enjoyed the final... well that was because my friends were over but still, Spain proved that they were in total control of the match and never looked like losing!

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
