Congrats to Group C Winners!


Recommended Posts

the americans are so excited beating algeria...last in the group...:D

Because doing that let us *win* the group (something we hadn't done in eighty years; since 1930).

And as a reward, we draw Ghana (who should not be overlooked, as they are the lone survivor out of the African region of FIFA).

Group C (with the US/England/Slovenia) proved to be the nastiest Group overall (consider that only the US and England went through Group play without losing); it's not our fault that the Europhiles considered the Confed Cup a fluke.

+1 touche

so now they love and care about football huh....

:shiftyninja:

We like *all* our sports...we just don't get super-obsessive/compulsive about futbol the way the Europhiles have. One reason we don't is because we have something distinctly *absent* in Europe (and in Latin America, for that matter) - a solid collegiate/amateur "futbol" program. Yes; it drains energy away from our professional programs - however, we also don't have the rampant hooliganism in MLS/A-League that UEFA has to deal with, either. (Look at the entire US roster, and count the number of players that are *true amateurs* - not just no international experience, but no professional experience, either. Heck, Michael Bradley has the MOST international experience of the amateurs on the US side, and he has just two goals in WC play.)

It's not ALWAYS about *fan exuberance*, folks. (If it were, Team RSA should have smoked their Group, especially on the Vuvuzela Wave....)

Did I say that? Jeez what exactly is your problem? You have had nothing but negative responses in this thread when you could have:

1. Not posted at all

2. Said a simple congratulations and get out.

Obviously you wanted to pick a fight about the majority of Americans not paying attention to soccer. You can do that, just do it in a topic where that is the focus. Nothing everything has to be a debate.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
    • That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list. 
    • So, the logo means No ducking AI?
    • For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
