Funny! :w00t:Anyway the Belgium Red Devils got past the USA soccer team after a thrilling match.
It was an awesome game.
The US team (actually just the goalkeeper ;-)) put up quite a fight.
Don't forget Green! Not his fault he was only in for 13 minutes. That was the most exciting goal I've ever seen.
I think the coach was too defensive-minded.
The actual shot wasn't all that great, it squibbed off his toe but managed to go in all the same. And that kid will remember that for the rest of his life. At 19 he gets on the pitch and his first touch is a sensational goal.
To someone who doesn't watch a lot of soccer, it was amazing. He leaps in the air, manages to kick the ball as it is going past him into the corner of the goal. Maybe this happens all the time, but of the goals I've seen in this World Cup it is the only one I've seen like it.
It was an amazing shot and it is incredibly hard to hit ball as he did in mid-air. I was just saying that the actual connection was a bit odd ball. If he had hit that with the top of his foot he might have put it clean through the net.
For anyone who missed it...
The only defining characteristic of great strikers is that they score goals any way they can every chance they get. There's no such thing as a less-than-great shot when the ball ends up in the back of the net!
Yes there is, accidents can create unexpected goals with mediocre shots. This is not the case though.
While I'm sure that anyone would prefer a solid strike with perfect form, all other things being equal, I think we would be hard-pressed to find anyone who would prefer a solid strike with perfect form that is blocked or saved or just misses by a little bit to an ungainly toe poke or knee bump that puts the ball fully across the goal line between the goal posts and beneath the crossbar!
It depends on what you want. For your team, you'll always want goals no matter how they come. In general, a great shot/play can end with no goal and still be more memorable than most goals. It's part of the beauty of any sport.

I'll start using Oracle :sick: at my job. As a SQL/BI Developer, it seems that most of the knowledge can be transferred easily between tools, but I'm just starting to study.
Does anyone has any advice on where to study? Currently I'm reviewing some documents on http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/index.htm but any other help could be appreciated.
PS. I don't like 0r4cl3.

So why don't you like Oracle? (I haven't used it in ages, but except for the unfamiliarity and need to avoid windows installations, I'm wondering what the downside would be?)

I can understand the need for interfaces, especially on big projects that spew code like its nobody's business LOL but if you were using Java, would you not want to use interfaces even with MSSQL especially if its the sort of enterprisey code Java is known for getting used with?

For a start, the need to use third party tools to have a fine working environment. I'm working with TOAD and it leaves very little space for actual work.
The lack of ANSI standard in general.
The help/reference documents.
The limited amount of data types.
The way to handle dates.
And that's basically on first sight, I might find more things later.
EDIT: I had forgotten the need of TNSNAMES.

Yes, I love challenges, that's why I'm taking this one. That doesn't mean I have to like the tool.

Not sure what you are getting at. My point is that some of the Java interfaces Oracle uses has been created in 1995 and the layout has never been updated.
