Heh, find it funny how people still think netherland is so much better then spain... it was exactly the same before germany game :) Thing is, there is _only_ one way to break spains game and this is with pressuring on their defenders when they have a ball... but you cant play that way whole 90+ minutes... usualy teams against barcelona manage for like 20-30min at best and then its whole same game as we are used to, spain passing and other team defending. Only one team managed to keep up with barcelona and destroying this passing game for whole 90min and that was estudiantes in last years world club finals... but then there where overtime and they lost :)

Sunday game can go like this: If Spain scores early, we can see lots of goals specialy in netherlands goal. If Netherlands scores early, Spain will put extra pressure and im sure they will score and we can see overtimes, only real chance Netherland have to win is to score first late in game (lets say around 60-70min) and then defend for the rest of the game... Generaly i think Spain have like 2.5:1 odds to win it, they have better teamwork, they are more paitent, they have slightly better defence, much better midfild and they are about the same on attack, but since spain have better midfild they wont see ball much and only solution will be counterattacks like for germany.

That's a way too detailed predicition to be true. I call BS. :p

Let's just see how it goes on sunday. So far Spain has had a lot of trouble scoring, where as the Dutch are only getting better at it.

:p

True. :whistle: This is going to be a lot more different than the last game, both teams like to have the ball. Spain should dominate though.

Untrue.

Netherlands will simply TRY to get the ball but will be unable to and will resort to their classic way of play: counterattack.

Spain will treat the ball like a mother treats her first born baby son, hogging it all the ****ing time.

Spain will score and thats it.

0-1

I never said they'd be able to get the ball. :rolleyes:

Spain of course.

What are the rest of you on crack?

sorry, think I suffer from common sense, and looking at the way Spain is playing now, its typical Dutch fashion really, touch passes, over dominant ball control and a fast paced game, this was obvious with the Germany game, they forced Germany to play on their level in terms of speed and ball control

Don't forget Netherlands beat Brazil who had one the best backline of all the teams on their way to this match..

I'll give you the header, but an own goal, really? Luck has been on their side, especially Sneijder. I don't want to see "this" Dutch team win, they only care about winning, doesn't matter how they do it.

It was not ruled an own goal, so it still counts as a legit goal for the Netherlands.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
