Embarrassing Defeat ~ England Out of Euro 2008 ~ Bitter Truth

What a pity to see one of the major footballing nation in Europe and the World to sit at home and watch Euro 2008 instead of playing it.The last match of England against Croatia was a gift offered to them by the Isreal team who beat Russia to hand England their destiny in their own hands instead of seeing Russia clinching their qualification before the last match to be played. England team did not take full advanatage of this golden opportunity and in fact spurned it before its thousands loyal fans. The night started badly for England players in the rain of Wembley. Till now England had not conceded goals in their home soil for a quite long time but this lasted for a mere nine minutes when Niko Kranjar shot found the net breaking many hearts in its way and bringing England players down to earth. Against the run of play Olic added a second stunning everyone and leaving England rueing their missed chances.

There is nothing good to say about England's first half performance. Second half, David Beckam and Defoe came on in place of inefficient Barry and SW, Phillips. A penalty converted by Lampard gave Englance chances a lifeline and when Beckham crossed from the right wing is well controlled by Crouch and coolly finished in the bottom corner, England fans went in rapture thinking of Euro ahead. But then two croatian substitudes combined well to give Croatia a 2-3 lead from a strike by Petric outside the area leaving Carson helpless once again and forcing the Home fans to become silent and hope for a miracle, which eventually did not come......

Here is the rating I obtained from the site 4thegame.com...


How the England players fared against Croatia...

Scott Carson
Redeemed himself partially with a save that hit him smack in the face but will forever be remembered for the ghastly mistake that handed Croatia an early lead. Alas, Carson hadn't even handled the ball when the Croats scored their second.

Will probably never play for his country again. England's problems don't end with their goalkeepers but they certainly start there.
Rating (out of ten): Four.


Micah Richards
Caught upfield for the Croats second goal having granted Krancjar an unhindered shot on goal six minutes earlier. Rash and raw, he ran around like a headless chicken at times and failed to make a meaningful contribution as a result.
Rating: Five.


Sol Campbell
It may be harsh to single out Campbell but he is the personification of everything that is wrong with English football. Sol is a superb defender and a committed professional but his regular inability to pass a ball accurately over ten yards is as appalling as it is damning.
Rating: Five.


Joleon Lescott
Reasonably solid. The Everton defender was far from being England's worst player although the likelihood remains that he is short of international class. Then again, that's the least of England's worries now.
Rating: Four.


Wayne Bridge
Errors too many to record on a single sheet of A4. An ordinary player who would not stand out in the Championship.

His international retirement would be a welcome fillip from an otherwise dispiriting evening.
Rating: Two.


Gareth Barry
Failed to exert himself, wasted every set-piece he was allowed to take and was replaced at half-time.
Rating: Four


Frank Lampard
The decision to hand Lampard the man-of-the-match award was the only good laugh all evening. Until his penalty conversion it was possible to believe that Lampard was either not on the pitch or unaware that a match was being played.

It is simply unfathomable that such a brilliant player at club level shrinks so radically when on international duty. Combines time and time again with Didier Drogba for Chelski yet seemed unwilling to support Peter Crouch and too many decent flick-ons thus went to waste. Indefensible.
Rating: Three


Steven Gerrard
The best that can be said of Gerrard is that, unlike Lampard, he attempted to exert himself.

Succumbed to the Hollywood role in the second-half, attempting to hit 50-yard eye-of-the-needle passes on an evening when simplicity was essential. Until England realise that possession is nine-tenths of international level they will forever remain second-rate. The contrast with the display of Luka Modric was telling.
Rating: Three

Shaun-Wright Phillips
A ghastly attempt to play Ivica Olic offside backfired spectacularly and then, moments later, spurned a great opportunity to score by taking an unnecessary additional touch. No wonder even his father admitted he shouldn't have played.

Failed to make an impact thereafter and was replaced at half-time. Another player who is bereft of international quality.
Rating: Four

Joe Cole
A typical Cole performance: the odd glimpse of class negated by poor decision-making and a tendency to hit the ground faster than a bomb dropped from Mars.
Rating: Four.


Peter Crouch
The only England player to emerge in credit. Excellent at holding the ball up, while his intelligent flicks-on were wasted on his team-mates. Cracking goal defied barbs that he only scores against minnows, but that will be forgotten tomorrow.
Rating: Eight.
Substitutes:
David Beckham
Cross to Crouch was one of the few moments of class produced by the entire England team. Sadly for Beckham, England's elimination is bound to mean that he will never reach the 100-cap milestone.
Jermain Defoe
Brought on to remind everyone that McClaren had few other options.

Darren Bent
Introduced when it was already too late.


How do you rate the English team and who you think will be a good option for replacing McClaren?

Ticolo: A boy fell down without knowledge. The professor says it is because of the sun. He is called zoreille. Do you know him?
Picpac: Yes, but he is not my army. He is a coconut eater. It is not easy with him.
Ticolo: Look at the small boy. He wants to run with a big. He will not be capable.
Picpac: I know him. He runs quickly. Small knife cut big pumpkin. His sister is a beautiful thirty-five. I am trying to put her in a circle, but I have no money. I am waiting for my condemned box to fill. Now my hand is under rock.
Ticolo: We must marry picker. I give you money.
Picpac: Don't tell her brother. If he knows, he will untie our race. He is a small chilli.
Ticolo: Are you to rest here a longtime?
Picpac: No. If I felt an occasion, I am going to break the pause at Rose-Hill.
(He stood up and inadvertently crushed his friend's foot).

Ticolo: Eh, you monkey, you are blessing me again. You cannot make attention.

Picpac: Sorry, my black.

(Unfortunately, the conversation ended there....)

Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0

Dear Tech Support Team:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0.
I soon noticed that the new program, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities.
Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3, Cricket 5.0, BeerWithBuddies 7.5, and Outings 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected. I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications.

I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0 , but the 'uninstall' doesn't work on Wife 1.0.

Please help!

Thanks,
"A Troubled User"

REPLY:

Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that people complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 , thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!!
It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 5.0.
It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 5.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed not to allow this.
I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the environment.
I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before
the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean 2.5, Sweep 3.0, Cook 1.5 and DoLaundry 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program NagNag 9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Sarees 2.1 and Jewellery 5.0




STATUTORY WARNING : DO NOT, under any circumstances, install SecretaryWithShortSkirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.



Best of luck,
Tech Support ...

DSL - Damn Small Linux

While stumbling some web pages last night i came across this information. I found it interesting and thought about sharing it with you.

What is DSL - Damn Small Linux?????

DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.
Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:

• Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
• Boot from a USB pen drive
• Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
• Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
• Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
• Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram
• Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!)
• Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize

DSL was originally developed as an experiment to see how many usable desktop applications can fit inside a 50MB live CD. It was at first just a personal tool/toy. But over time Damn Small Linux grew into a community project with hundreds of development hours put into refinements including a fully automated remote and local application installation system and a very versatile backup and restore system which may be used with any writable media including a hard drive, a floppy drive, or a USB device.

DSL has a nearly complete desktop, and many command line tools. All applications are chosen with the best balance of functionality, size and speed. Damn Small also has the ability to act as an SSH/FTP/HTTPD server right off of a live CD. In our quest to save space and have a fully functional desktop we've made many GUI administration tools which are fast yet still easy to use.

The original website is Damn Small Linux. You can get more information about DSL there. Just follow the link or click here.

OFM - Online Soccer Manager

Online soccer manager is the most addictive online game i have played since i have been using Internet. I learned about this game last year from my friend and has not left it from then. Its just an amazing game. Once you have played it you want for more.

Since i has started playing, I have managed several teams like Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, West Ham, Bolton & Reading. I have won cups with Liverpool but league only once with Manchester.

Here is an overview of my current League table. I am managing Liverpool for the time being. Its my favorite team.

Lucas Leiva - Reds New capture

Lucas Leiva a 20-year old Brazilian midfielder will be joining the Reds at the start of next season. He is the captain of the Brazil under-20 side and won the Golden Boot in his country last year. He can play as a holding midfielder but he can also get from box to box. Currently he is playing for Gremio and can help them in their quest of reaching the Copa Libertadores Final. He will be involved in the semi final against Santos.

He is one of the hot prospects in Brazil. A Brazilian wonderkid from Gremio. The current captain of the Brazilian u20 squad. Sounds exciting. It's good to see that Liverpool center midfield is so highly competitive. Stevie, Xabi, Momo and Mascherano. Now, there's one more. Lets the battle begin....

Here is a small video abou what we can expect from this Brazilian Wonderkid...

Problem v/s Solutions

Problem	When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (Ink won't flow down to the writing surface).
Solution A	In order to solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees
Solution B	And what did Russians do ?? The Russians used a Pencil !!!

Problem		One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste,
Solution A		The engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so
Solution B		But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line. Moral of the story: " Keep It Short & Simple" !! i.e. always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problem. So, learn to focus on solutions not on problems
