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. ;)

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By matthiew · Posted

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
