You have really no clue at all. Stop behaving like a 5 year old kid and try to make more intelligent comments than that. I doubt that you can.

Very disappointing game by Munchen...

Anyway congrats to Inter fans :)

Inter deserved to win. Bayern didn't have a good day and unfortunately when you play in a final you don't have a second chance. Bayern plays offensive and attractive, Inter defensive and tries to destroy the opponent. Offensive and attractive football can only win when there is at least a one level difference in the quality of the players. Inter has (unfortunately) players of great quality (like Bayern does), so defensive football had to win.

I am a Bayern fan but the philosophy of offensive football that van Gaal has brought, isn't my thing. I prefer Inter's playing style, even if it isn't attractive. It is effective and simple. Football should be a simple game after all.

I am sure that Bayern will dominate Europe the next two to three years. Ribery & Robben are great players and if we get a good defender and improve our game a bit further, then we will win the Champions League again (despite being too offensive in our game).

outstanding second goal (Y)

Van Buyten had to defend better. Defense was Bayerns problem yesterday...

We can now close this thread right?

Everyone is voting now that the winners "will be" Internazionale and the top scorer "will be" Lionel Messi. :laugh:

I wanted to vote earlier but I forgot.. :shiftyninja:

Actually, who cares about the poll. Don't have to close the whole thread because of it, maybe people would like to discuss the final, it was only yesterday :whistle:

I am a Bayern fan but the philosophy of offensive football that van Gaal has brought, isn't my thing. I prefer Inter's playing style, even if it isn't attractive. It is effective and simple. Football should be a simple game after all.

I can only speak from a handful of CL matches, but how attacking is this philosophy? For instance, the wing backs hardly, if ever really, made any runs. Robben was dealt with rather too easily by Chivu / Zanetti / Pandev, and if Lahm had made some runs, then the space would've opened up. Same with Altintop on the other side, who had a great game against Maicon. Through the middle, Sweinsteiger - what has happened? I remembered him as this brilliant footballer with great vision, passing and the ability to get around players. Van Bommel too, he only did 1 of 2 things this game - commit fouls and pass the ball sideways.

I said while watching, that the substitution of Altintop was really a terrible mistake. If Van Gaal really thought Muller would make a difference on the left (and how could he, his only contribution to the game was to shoot directly at Cesar's legs), then he perhaps should've taken of the Left Back, because Altintop was the only Bayern player that caused any trouble to the Inter defence.

Should also note the blatant handball by Maicon. Don't see how every official missed that.

Great play from Milito thought - I read an article this morning that mentioned Maradonna has originally forgot to place him in his provisional squad and had to be reminded by one of his assistants.

Ps. I think Bayern will dominate within 2 seasons, especially with Kroos' development this season and Riberry staying on.

I dont know if anyone saw but the sampdoria vs werder bremen game. I got to watch fro the 80th minute onwards, and i have to to say the italians are such cheap players...worst sportsmanship ever. If anyone gets a chance to watch the game watch the end.

At 85mins they score making it 3-0 and 4-3 on aggregate. They realise they have to waste time. They dived a good 4 times. I say dived because one of them, i think massino, fell to the gorund clutching his leg as if he had been shot, when he got fouled on the body. Now he got stretchered off.

1 1/2 mins later he was back on. There were a couple of other dives. They also did other things like kick the ball away on fouls, waste time. As a result there was 5 mins of injury time.

Guess what in the 93rd minute werder bremen score. I literally jumped out of my seat and shouted at the screen.

So now there is extra time and Bremen score. ****ING JUSTICE. ....:D

      Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Do you remember the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft's first handheld console designed in partnership with ASUS? This week, ASUS revealed a new version of the device to celebrate twenty years of its Republic of Gamers brand. The new ROG Xbox Ally X20 features an OLED display, a transforming D-Pad, TMR sticks, and other changes. However, the chip inside the console is still the same. Forza Horizon 6 launched last month to critical acclaim, but the game will soon have a new rival made by those who used to work on Forza Horizon titles. Mike Brown from Maverick Games announced Clutch, an upcoming racing game with a story-driven campaign, deep car customization, and rich multiplayer. The game is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027. The next update for Minecraft now has a release date. This week, Mojang announced that Chaos Cubed will be available on June 16, 2026. In addition, Mojang published a teaser of the next Minecraft movie. A Minecraft Movie Squared has now been confirmed for a release somewhere in 2027. NVIDIA GeForce Now is getting 18 new games in June. Those include Jurassic World Evolution 3, Fatekeeper, GOALS, Gothic 1 Remake, NTE: Neverness to Everness, and more. If you are a Game Pass subscriber, you can also get new games soon: Persona 5 Royal, Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, and more are coming to the service this month.

      "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
