Mine's 30gb/mo. It's apparently more than enough for most people, which only makes me think most people never watch porn.

Just start going to Starbucks and steal their wi-fi. I honestly couldn't go back to limited bandwith. I'd feel like someone's breathing over me whenever I stream or download anything.

In football related news. I'm currently on the last group game for the women's England squad. These guys have been nowhere near as depressing as the u-21's squad.

i couldn't go back to living in an apartment again, and hear the neighbors trampling around when i'm trying to sleep

and sirens. goddamn sirens in the middle of the night. and of course gunshots.

life is full of tradeoffs.

would i love me some google fiber? sure. is it as important to me as having as few neighbors as possible? nah-ah.

I actually decided to re-watch the Brazil-Germany game from the last world cup last might whilst hammered with a friend of mine. At first it seems like Brazil would be ok and keep it together. Then goals start, and even on re-watch it's still crazy to see the score of 5-0 before half-time. A game to always remember.

The best bit is the kid crying his tears into a cup. Ooh I've found it.

 

Yes... yesss, let your tears flow.

That game was insane. Fuck a classic, shit was an albino unicorn

I rewatched that too, a little while back, and yeah, the start didn't indicate at all what was to come. It's the same with Spain's implosion against Holland. If anything Spain looked to have a slight edge on Holland at the beginning, and then they just collapsed. Maybe we read too much into those results. We've all seen excellent teams lose games that on paper they shouldn't have. We saw it in the Prem when Chelsea lost to teams they should've been thrashing. Difference in a WC is you're gonna have a bad day against some world class players so the penalty is far worse than it would be against, say, Leicester.

Admittedly, in Spain's case, it wasn't just a one off game. They were awful throughout.

chile just beat uruguay 1-0. tons of crap went on-- i missed the first hour of play due to work but apparently it was quite a battle. bachelet jumping in the stands-- hilarious.

Oh that Spain Netherlands game was a thing of beauty.. easily as epic a collapse as Brazil, because shit if we were to really analyze it Brazil wasn't playing that great either so the outcome was as predictable but the games themselves were epic. Huge losses for bazil and spain. Those were 1980s NFL Superbowl losses, four and five score blowouts..

The Spain implosion(s) were huge. 'End of a dynasty' stuff. I didn't enjoy it cos I loved what Spain represented in their pomp but their was something beautiful about the way they just, died. Better that in a way than for them to have just limped along to the latter stages, a la Brazil and, to a degree, Argentina.

I still have mixed feelings about the whole Brazil thing. They weren't impressive throughout and were lucky to even make the semis. But actual football aside, the squad was in such a difficult position, trying to represent a nation openly rioting in opposition to the tournament itself. I kind of sympathised with them, as people, even though my true support was probably with those protesting, as a body.

It all added up to probably the most fascinating World Cup I've seen. Huge upsets (Spain), great new finds (Rodriguez), enormous personal dramas (Suarez) and the whole underlying political drama.

With all the shit going on at FIFA who knows where the next WCs will be, but if they remain in Russia and Qatar we're at least guaranteed some political controversy. As for the other stuff, I doubt we'll see another tournament with as many points of interest as the last one for some time.

West Ham sign Dimitri Payet from Marseille for 10m. Don't know too much about him but hopefully Bertrand will see this and reassure me he's at least decent.

Did you see Cavani's sending off? One of the worst decisions I've seen. Jara tries to give him an anal probe then falls over holding his face, and Cavani gets a second yellow for it. If ever there was an argument for video technology, that's it. And Jara deserves a retrospective tournament-length ban. They'd stamp that kind of thing right out if the refs started doing that. Not that it helps Uruguay.

[!@#$%!]

dopey, yes. in brazilian portuguese, "dunga".

which is a nickname his uncle gave him. because he looks like that.

ha ha ha ha ha ha.

poor dopey. and his team of defenders.

anyway-- i did miss that fingerlicking good part of the game, but my dad told me all about it when i called him post-match. "le metió la mano!" etc. then it turned out it wasn't the whole mano but just a finger-- in a way, worse.

yeah, for things like this-- yeah the law should allow for non-god reversals. "i take my red card back". i don't know what that would do to the concept of the ref's authority and if it would open up a can of shit what size but yeah.

jara is banned i'm not sure how long. but without that decision, chile would not have won the game-- and how do you undo a result? just fucking terrible.
