Isn't the French head coach not coming back anyways? I think he doesn't give a **** about the team losing since he's not coming back either.

Yeah, seems he would rather go out on a whimper than try and get the last hurrah. They've all completely given up. Pathetic. Cheated Ireland out of the World Cup and didn't even bother to turn up when they got there!

I mean.... I was rooting for France... but there's no way they could've won that game with this lazy, untalented team that they've got.

It's really sad, France deserves better than this lame selection.

See you in 2014 les Bleus

Is it just me or do the French look like they've given up?

No, I know it looks like they've given up, but it in facts reflects the "talent" of this team. They're no better than that unfortunately.

If Uruguay and Mexico draw their final match on Tuesday, they both go through to the last 16 no matter the result of France vs South Africa... Anyone want to place bets?

It will be like this all over again :p

Although the 2nd in the group will play Argentina tho so may be incentive enough.

Frankly, Mexico completely deserves their victory. They just outclass the french team at every turn of the game. That French team does not have the level to be in the World Cup. As far as Raymond is concerned, may be he should stay in the South Hemisphere and try coaching football to the penguins on the Kerguelen Islands ...

I am going to support Switzerland

I went out to a bar to watch this game with some friends (hence the lack of updates during the game). I'd like to point out the following:

- Mexico played better than France, showing much more precision in their plays

- The referee sucked balls, unwarranted yellow cards and fouls for the slightest touch ruined a lot of chances for Mexico in particular (though the suckage did extend both ways).

- Mexico must win against Uruguay because a draw will place them against Argentina which is a tough match.

That was the laziest game of football I ever saw. Exept Toulalan and Lloris the rest of us was ridiculous! No idea, no ambition, no speed, no nothing. bull**** from start to finish. And you know what? I'm glad. Glad cause now we can rebuilt with fresh players, a fresh coach (Laurent Blanc). Some of the players I saw yesterday should not play from France anymore. Anelka, Gallas, Abidal, Govou, Henry (yes he wasn't on the pitch, but still, he ain't the players he used to be, and he is not a leader, not for France anyway), Valbuena (what a joke he is) and most of all Ribery. This guy has the ability to turn everything into ****! He wants to play on the left so he plays on the left, even when Malouda is way more better at the moment. He wants to play in the middle? He plays in the middle, but can't make a pass, can't orientate, and doesn't even plays in the middle. Ribery I hate you, you stupid arrogant piece of crap! Poor Gourcuff, I'm so sorry for him for being the ugly duckling of the story. But he at least can bounce back with Laurent Blanc.

Our defense was pathetic, our attack was... well, nowhere to be found actually. And the middle blew up! Diaby went "Pshiiiiit" and without Toulalan playing almost everywhere we could have lost by more than 2-0. The best of all? It was so predictable...

And I'm looking forward to the rebuilding of what was, not so long ago, a beautiful team.

I almost forgot, well done Mexico, you were so much better than us, and see you soon Chicharito. ;)

      You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

      DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

      Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
