The worst 90 minutes of football I may have ever witnessed in my life, at least the Greece sweden game had that awesome Ibrahimovic goal. And although Senna was pretty consistant and had a great final he wasn't as involved as he could have been, but I suppose thats a good thing with the role that he played, I'd like to have thought Iniesta was more of a key player, he seemed involved with every attacking play Spain had in all the games!

It does seem that The Red Album has divided reviewers... But it's ok, everyone's entitled to their own opinion and for the time being, I think it's awesome but we'll see if it lasts. I think I'll spend most of this week listening to Sigur Ros. I have had but a cursory glance at Firefox 3 and...ooh, it's pretty. I use Safari all the time and get this - one of my biggest turn-offs for FF2 was that it made the buttons on wbe pages have the blocky Windows look. I know, but hey. FF3 has changed that! And you're right it seems FAST. I'm gonna swap my bookmarks over and give it a real trial over the next few days because it seems goooooood. Well!
