Ou yeah!

I'm sure that I could not find some who will tell me that Croatia didn't deserved to win!

France '98, Austria '08 :)

Croatia played a very good game imo. I'd like to see how far they'll get in this tournament.

I turned it off about 3 minutes before the end...dang!

Bad choice. :p At the start of the second half, I already said: "this match is over for Austria". But with a bit of luck, a lot can be achieved. I guess that's football for ya. Surprises can always be waiting around the corner.

Netherlands 2-1 France

Italy 1-0 Romania

Good tips, i'm inclined to agree.

I like the German team, they're generally very consistent. But last night the Croatians outplayed them and consequently they deserved to win.

I'm not sure if i want to see Italy win tonight (because i think they got really lucky to be in the Euro when they played Scotland in the qualifications), but its hard to imagine that romania can beat them. So Italy all the way for tonight.

I couldn't disagree more. The red card was totally in line with the way they want the game played. You cannot raises your hands to another player. He turned right around and shoved the Croatian right back down to the ground. Completely warranted, as far as the rules go.

I was going to say the same as you. There was no need for Sweinsteiger (sp) to even do what he did. He won the ball, turned around and laid hands on him. Definite red.

2-0 for Holland. Domenech is so freaking defensive and cautious. Will probably play a 4-2-3-1 and Abidal, who offered nothing in attack and support for Malouda, is said to keep is place over Evra, a Prem, Champs League winning world class Left Back. Huh ;.....

I agree. Whilst Abidal is a solid player, Evra really is world class. No comparison when going forward.

I don't think the Netherlands will pull of something like the previous match against Italy. Mainly because it probably shook France to the foundation - their relatively bad match against Romania might seem favorable for us Dutchies, but they're warned and will be extra cautious.

Also; we're shooting ourselves in the foot again, we'll probably let Robben play - and while he's a great player, he doesn't work as much for the team as Kuyt does for instance.

I'm going to predict a 1-1 in a pretty boring match where neither team will give the other space to move.

Italy - Romania will probably be much more fun. Romania should've gotten a morale boost from their draw against France and the defeat of Italy, so they'll think they can win, while Italy has something to prove as reigning world champions.

Good game so far today. Romania has had 2-3 scoring chances including hitting the post and Italy has had the same amount of goal chances.

Much better game than I expected and Romania is going up as well, not playing the defending game like another team I know (greece).

good game so far, seeing italy fail makes me happy (if they dont win, its a failure) My french boys are next :)

I am rooting for any team that rajputwarrior is against (Its a tradition!). I'll take the Germans or the Dutch.

p.s - Portugal and France... lawl! Although my blues have quite a few on the frenchy roster.

your germans choked.. and the dutch will lose today!

PENALTY!!!!!!

WOW what a save....

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
