Tough one for Spain. But I could watch Sergio Ramos cry on a loop for hours. Twat.

Happy Birthday! May the market go higher and the wine inventory lower!

Never a bad thing. Might follow suit tonight!

Uruguay were the better team in my opinion. They know who they are and what their plan is -- stay solid at the back, hit back on the counter. The second goal was so well taken. I hope Cavani is fit to play France, but even so think France will be too good for them. I mean, how do you defend this? t85rs_1.mp4

Great game. Mbappe is lethal and there were a couple of golazos thrown in ...

Pissed. Indescriminate. Indisiscrimitabable? Undescribitabubble? Underbiscuitabewibbile?

More compelling games on the left side of the draw. France v. Argentina could be a final. Going to go with Belgium/Uruguay for the semis along with Croatia/England. Contrarian view.

Speedies just don't speak to me. I know, I know, I'm a bad person.

Another good read. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/romelu-lukaku-ive-got-some-things-to-say

Considerate of the Germans to come up with the word "schadenfreude" to perfectly describe what the rest of the footballing world is feeling right now.

Interesting read. As Terry Pratchett once observed: “The thing about football — the important thing about football — is that it is not just about football.” https://africasacountry.com/2018/06/ghetto-defendants-race-class-and-the-french-national-team

Beautiful!

They are pretty small by comparison to a modern race car, but not at all flimsy -- built like tanks under the skin. Know I posted about it maybe a year back, but this reminds me again of when I got to see maybe my favorite car ever taken out for one of its few drives a year at the Brooklands Museum. http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/01/napier-railton-car-feature/

Yeah, let's just take a moment to contemplate Trump in perpetuity.

Germany were very, very fortunate but will not win the World Cup with that laughable defense. Belgium is my pick on current form. The team is stacked and they finally seem to have both a competent manager and good spirit in the dressing room.

100% agree. Wish they’d just used white gold applied hour markers on all the dials, but Rolex knows what they’re about I suppose. [emoji6]

Sky biscuit. Bloody awful.

Some proper crumpets (with Marmite butter) for the G-Man. Also an omelette.

39mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual with either white or black dial as takes your fancy. Durable, dependable classic.

What an absolute peach of a counter-attack. So beautiful. https://streamable.com/41ser

It's almost like investing in something you know nothing about (other than you kinda like their style) where said investment confers no equity ownership or oversight rights or even basic contractual liability ... could have some potential downsides?

Washed my AirPods in a shirt pocket yesterday by mistake, warm cycle. They still work fine. That surprised me.

I am two ribeye pissed off. Suspect each will get its own pairing, too.
