christiano ronaldo ALWAYS scored against average to lesser clubs.

the goal he scored to chelsea in CL final was his FIRST GOAL ever against chelsea. and i cant remember him scoring against arsenal or liverpool more than once.

he is a great player for good to mediocre games. he is not the player for TOP games and ewveryone saw it in eht CL final.

He missed a penalty kick and he missed another penalty kick in the semi finals of CL and played terribly.

team play was succes for MAN UTD's glory this year and also of course ronaldo's goals against mediocre premiership teams.

so as i said. the CLOWN a.k.a. ronaldo just brought them to somehwere but it was not HIM whom gave the glory to man utd. same will happen with portugal.

Fortunately Portugal doesn't have only him. You give Cristiano Ronaldo way too much credit. We have other good players that are far better team players than him, such as Moutinho and Deco.

why would you bet agains turkey?

that is silly.

Well, generally I have been pretty successful at betting in this tournament! I am still like ?20 up I think overall, so I think I am justified in placing a bet against Turkey. Likewise, seeing as the Czech's where 2-0 up against the "future World Champions" Turkey for 75 minutes of the match, and of which Turkey only won due to a bit of luck and a massive Cech mistake...I am justified.

As for this Turan player who seems to be your gay friend, and who is supposedly better than any player in this tournament, who is supposedly better than Ronaldo, Deco, Villa, Torres, Xavi, Fabregas, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Ballack, Lahm. How come no one has never heard of him? I'd like to think I have a fairly decent knowledge of the footballing world, but I have never heard of Turan before the Euro's. If he is better than any player in the world, how come no one has heard of him...and why hasn't he been snapped up by a big club if he is that good;))?

Fair play to Turkey though mate(Y)). Although, I cannot see you winning the Euro's (and you can quote me on that), but I suppose you never know.

Anyway, I'm going to be putting most of your ignorance and sheer...weirdness down to the fact that you don't have a full grasp of the English language. You've raised a few good points though overall and Turkey have definitely provided us with some entertaining football!

first of all i do not share your homosexual fantasies cause i am not gay and do not have any gay friends. Either you are gay or just because having conversations that you end up loosing you try to humiliate me but you humiliate yourself way too much. If your world is too small and you only know players that are advertisement materials than it is your loss. Go out. There are great talents in the world and Arda Turan is a pure talent that many big clubs will try to sign but will not succeed due to his love to galatasaray.

I do not need to know perfect english to explain myself cause i know a total of 4 languages and i am not uneducated and selfish to just stick with 1 language. because the world is global and people whom live in their shelves turn out to be a small person.

You said that i have raised good points. Most of those good points were ones that people laughed ooff just a week ago. I am sure you will be seeing that even more of my points will turn out to be true.

Several newspapers all around the world are saying that turkey's last night comeback was the best comeback in the EURO CUP history. check it out yourselves if you ever saw a better come back than this in EURO CUPs.

anyway. see you all on friday after our victory against croatia.

There's a difference. Its the worst meltdown when you have one of the best goalies in the world fumble a ball in his own box and when 6 defenders are caught so off guard that Nihat could've just walked into the net.

Best comeback is when a team legitimately comes back and scores goals that don't require a goalie to fumble a ball.

Nonetheless, it was a very entertaining match and I congratulate the Turks.

It's gonna be a tough one... I'd give 50/50 chances to each... Austria will be certainly motivated enough to win + the support, while Germany will mostly think about the possible failure (advancing to the quarterfinals isnt a succes for them...)

Poland will probably beat Croatia, cause they're gonna play with 8 non-standard players (perhaps even 9, possibly the goalie will be replaced too)

What I'm really looking forward to is tommorows match between France and Italy :D

also turkey was terrible between 2002 and 2007. but now we are so good that argentina would never stand a chance against turkey.

Argentina and Brazil. two teams that do not play by heart. stars always let you down. Remember when real madrid was los galacticos? they earned NOTHING.

anyway.

turkey would crash argentina. but thats not todays conversation. we will talk about this in 2 years.

31 time La Liga Champions. 9 time Champions League champions. They earned nothing? You show your lack of football knowledge right there.

And Argentina will crush Turkey. You need to make sure you even qualify for the world cup first.

If Turan was wanted by any of the big 4 in england, or the tops in spain or italy, his "love" for galatasary would suddenly disappear. Money talks, plain and simple. As much as I love the toon, Newcastle is having problems signing anyone right now, much less any up and coming talents. You can't use them be refused as any kind of definitive statement.

Oh, and btw, English is THE global language.

Germany vs Austria = I think Austria are going to win this with the fan support!

We can only hope.

Turkey will crush Argentina? Have you been living under a rock? Even if Argentina played a full squad of backups, even then it wouldn't be a crushing. Messi and Riquelme alone are enough to topple Turkey! :D

Turkey made a very impressive comeback, I will give them that. But they were non-existent for 3/4 the game. If not for those last 15 minutes, they would've been finished.

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

      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"
