Silhavy took charge of the national team in 2018 after they failed to qualify for the World Cup. "Sometimes I don't understand why, the anger and aggression (is directed towards me)," Silhavy was quoted as saying by news website iDnes.cz on Tuesday. His departure follows the team's 3-0 win over 10-man Moldova on Monday, which secured them a place in Euro 2024. Silhavy said the actions of the players -- who all featured in Friday's 1-1 draw with Poland -- disappointed him and helped confirm his decision to quit. "I don't think the guys did it for me to quit," Silhavy said.

☆ The rivalry between Meta and Apple is moving to a new playing field: virtual reality
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Clare Duffy | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

New York CNN —Months after Apple unveiled a privacy change that threatened Facebook’s core advertising business, the social networking company rebranded as Meta and shifted its focus to virtual reality. Apple (AAPL) on Monday unveiled its mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, in one of its most ambitious product launches in years. On Thursday, just days before WWDC, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried to preempt the expected Apple headset announcement by teasing the Meta Quest 3. Apple on Monday unveiled its first-ever virtual reality headset, challenging Facebook-owner Meta in a market that has yet to gain widespread consumer adoption. Apple chose not to focus on the term “virtual reality,” nor did it show off disembodied avatars without legs inhabiting a virtual world, as Meta did initially.

Patronul FCSB și-a văzut năruit visul ca echipa să joace în grupele Europa League. Pandemia de coronavirus dă bătăi de cap oamenilor din fotbal, iar Gigi Becali a simțit pe pielea lui acest lucru. Mai exact, din pricina focarului COVID-19 de la FCSB, izbucnit tocmai când echipa juca pentru calificarea în grupele europene, care aducea un bonus consistent echipei, Becali și-a văzut năruit visul. Practic, Becali a fost lovit de două probleme: una de natură financiară și alta de natură sportivă provocate de noul coronavirus. Reamintim că focarul de coronavirus a izbucnit la FCSB în data de 16 septembrie.
