A young Haitian football fan was so distraught at Brazil's World Cup exit on Friday that he killed himself by leaping in front of a car, according to witnesses contacted by an AFP photographer.

The 18-year-old died after the incident, which took place in Nerette, on the outskirts of the Haitian capital, following Brazil's 2-1 defeat by the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.

During the World Cup, Brazilian wins were celebrated by street parties that brought a rare dash of colour and joy to a country still struggling to rebuild after the devastation of the January earthquake.

Good riddance selfish idiot decided to put whoever was in the car in danger as well as the emotional trauma they are now going to have at killing a person, if he was going to kill himself he should have done it when no one was around in the middle of nowhere so his body would just rot and no one would know or care about him.

It's still selfish, to jump in front of another's car like that. It's also selfish to his family who are now - most likely - going to be in bereavement.

Or Not..they could be thinking what a complete f*in retard he is...bury him face down because he's an idiot lol

I love the fact that this topic is in recreational activities!

One thing always springs to mind when I hear things like this gene pool!

Putting the joking aside, for a fellow human to end up that emotionally challenged to do something like that over football (if indeed it was something to do with the football) is a pretty poor and upsetting story.

People do take some competitions way too seriously, but when it comes to the World Cup the media, the country and other powers to be hype into something incredible and ultimately very important, anybody that is a little unstable is going to find the emotions of losing difficult to handle, even I get quite emotionally involved watching the World Cup games when my countries playing and that is the only football I ever watch.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
