Can't believe the US beat spain, especially considering they where at practically full strength. Next year's world cup is IMO one of the most open for a long time, I wouldn't even want to pick a favourite

We were only on 2 days rest too ;)! Now only if we could stay out of penalty trouble.

I supported Brazil since I was a kid.... The 90's Brazil team are much, much better than the silly excuse of a team we now call Brazil. I hope the US wins it just to avenge South Africa and Egypt. Brazil's horrible teamwork and lack of fluency make them unworthy of winning this cup.

The American players certainly learned a lesson today - by the end of the game, do not underestimate your opponent.

BTW there are many people saying that the U.S. are lucky and this is just false. US soccer is improving every year, acquiring its own identity, more and more american players are going play in Spain, Germany, Italy and moving away from the England-USA axis. This is great for american soccer and exactly what it's needs. My highlight goes to Dempsey, great player and Howard excellent goalkeeper.

that doesnt even make sense. Where you happy when the US didnt win in olypmics basketball in 04, because afterall they are really the only "true" baseketball nation?

Hes just being the typical person that he has always been. The US played very well and it was disappointing to see them give up the lead.

    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      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.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.

      For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
