Well, that certainly wasn't the same North Korea that turned up against Brazil. However, what's with Gary Linekar asking if Portugal are now favourites? They didn't exactly beat the world's elite!

Bah, of course they?re not favorites. They just won a game (by large numbers, granted), but NK is not exactly a great team...

great ball handling by the Portuguese.

hope the North Korea team feels proud for reaching this far despite the struggle of also living in an oppressive regime...can't be easy..

I thought the first half was pretty dull but someone must of given Portugal smarties at half time as I could not believe it when they scored another six goals.

Given the NK tight defensive system, the most difficult thing in these kinds of games is scoring the first goal. The rest is easier.

So there was only 1 touchdown during th four ****ing quarters? What a boring game!

[/sarcasm]

That was a *shelling*.

North Korea *maybe* would have had better luck against the US (I had to qualify that considering what the US team did to *Spain* in the Confed Cup last year).

Amazingly, of the Confed Cup teams, the US had the second-least amount of turnover (and the turnover they did have was players that were injured for Confed Cup play being back for World Cup play, and, in two cases, the other way round), with Brazil having the least turnover.

It's why Brazil is a legit threat to win it all (and also why the US should not be underestimated).

The Slovenes are worrisome (and should be); they are sneaking up on other teams.

      Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
