I still can't believe Wales beat Scotland 3-0 :)

I didn't think we still had a national football side :laugh: I'm used to supporting England now :pinch:

I forgot that was today and lol at scotland :rofl:

Brazil is a one of the most strong team in Football. Everybody know that. But Football is a unpredictable game. Anything can happen. Brazil and England both are my favorite Team. Any result will be fine for me. I just love to watch the game.

Well said. :yes:

where are you? cookie island isn't very helpful! ;)

I believe STV in Scotland are not showing it as their opting out as usual. I can only guess that's where he is, I could be wrong though.

That was dreadful, tell you the truth I was getting fustrated with Fabio C, he made changes late on when our midfield was doing nothing, the defence at times was shocking, upfront lacking because everyone else was rubbish.

Foster- ok made some saves, the yellow card should have been a red but was forced to because of brown poor defending.

Brown - shocker of a match at right back, defending was poor, attacking runs poor, worst man of the match.

Upson - was in and out of the game, played ok but didn't work well with lescot.

Lescot - he did ok but I thought at times he came out of a defensive line too much and let players get behind him that way.

Bridge - no problems really, when you've got a defensive pair not working that well it must be hard to sort your postion out. Best option for backup left back? Probably.

Wright Philips - drifted inside too much and lacks control most of the time, poor game didn't seem to have any affect.

Milner - did well on the left with his midfield and defensive work but cannot beat players to get in good crosses, a good backup for the left side and has postional discipline unlike Wright Philips.

Jenas - Did he do anything?

Barry - One of the better midfielders, but when the defense is poor and half the midfield is useless he probably did most of the midfield work.

Rooney - Well a bit quiet, tends to drift to the left meaning someone has to go and take his place (which they didn't) I'm finding we can't play a style to make use of him. I really think we need to play fast paced footy or quick counter attack with rooney, as he drift lefts someone can move fast into postion up front and let him thread passes or take shots.

Bent - had nothing to do with because he hardly had the ball.

Subs:

Defoe - same as Bent, little to work with but at least defoe came out sometimes

Crouch and Young - brought late on in the game so they couldn't have any affect.

Very poor game, if our first team starts suffering big injuries during the world cup we are stuffed, this second string team had the chance to prove what they can do and most of the players didn't take it. Thrown together or not, they had no fight in them.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
