Sorry,
Not exactly accurate, we went down twice but not without a fight first.
The jerries were far too strong though so down we went.
Mind you: we are doing better than them this time.

Indeed.It He is also the best player, though.

He's always been slightly over-rated in my book, certainly never quite in the same inter-galactic-hyper-league as Messi or Ronaldo.
I think this World Cup will be remembered as the one where we first saw Kylian Mbappe - that boy is something truly special.

I don't think so. Maybe Messi and Ronaldo are better but not that much better.

He enjoys the surprise effect. Neymar is carefully and 'affectionately' attended by many defenders.
BTW so, in your opinion, France will outclass Uruguay, won't it?

Fair point, though I'm not sure that Mbappe will be treated as a surprise for any longer - they'll all be trying to kick lumps out of him from now on (especially Uruguay). Not sure how many will be fast enough or good enough to get that close to him, though!
It's a real pain that the France v Uruguay has to be on during work hours (especially as I originally had the day booked of as holiday)

I feel your pain. Free from work, I am going to see only the first half of the match because of 'family duties' (please don't ask)

No no no …  the only possible outcomes for Brazil-Belgium are
1:2 or 2:4
This complements nicely the guess by V. …

Indeed, according to Slipknot "All hope is gone" for Brazil …
(in soccer terms of course), Brazil Belgium 2:4 is my guess … BR,

2 - 1

Ok, Belgium is for real. Brazil just just 17 on target attempts and came away with only 1 point! That was amazing defense.

I hope not to get on your nerves, but look who made it into the hall of fame yesterday[^]!
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Yeah. Start building. Here are the hallowed schematics and articles (by Weisbecker himself) to build the original Elf: Build The COSMAC "ELF" Part 1[^].
Just replace some ancient parts, like the 256 byte RAM, and use something more modern. It's still a great trainer for learning. Only the CDP1861 viedeo chip you would need for the expansion of part 4 is practically impossible to get by now (and you will not get any of the three I have).

Another great article by IEEE. Thanks for posting.

Nice! The retro part of me would love to see the original circuit diagram of the processor built out of discrete IC's!
I did find this MOnSter 6502 but built out of discrete transistors? That's too much for me!

I think I saw some articles on Weisbecker's work, but not on the processor itself. There were articles in Popular Electronics on building a Pong style video game and a shooting game from discrete 40xx CMOS ICs. These parts are still available and the two games would be easy to build, if that's retro enough.
