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...

good game...

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.

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
