The thing with world cups is, some teams will fail to deliver when it matters most so the one or other team will disappoint. Remember Spain in 2014, for example.

How about Saudi Arabia?

And you would have voted for Algeria if they were qualified. I'd like to see a new champion (though football is overrated) but I don't think any such team is strong enough this time. My favourites for that stay all home (Netherlands, Chile, Ghana).

Very good French Open after all, happy for Halep and Rafa. Nice bright blue clothes too.

2018 Japan Open Men's Singles Zhang Jike CHN 3-4 (11-9, 11-8, 9-11, 4-11, 12-10, 7-11,11-13) JPN Tomokazu Harimoto [6] Women's Singles [3] Mima Ito JPN 4-2 (11-7, 12-10, 8-11, 11-7, 6-11,12-10) CHN Wang Manyu [2] Men's Doubles [3] Jeoung Youn-sik/Lee Sang-su KOR 3-1 (11-6, 5-11, 11-9, 11-5) CHN Liang Jingkun/Zhou Kai Women's Doubles [6] Liu Shiwen/Wang Manyu CHN 0-3 (Walkover) CHN Gu Yuting/Mu Zi Mixed Doubles [8] Liang Jingkun/Chen Xingtong CHN 3-0 (11-9, 11-9, 11-9) JPN Maharu Yoshimura/Kasumi Ishikawa [1] Harimoto also beat Ma Long 4-2 in the QF.

At least they got the anthems right. That's something I would say.

On second look, the after picture is a paradoxon to me. Taking out the egg makes it look less colourful, and as such, less diverse and and more exclusive.

Interesting. Let's not stop there. This is not a very good emoji for people with red and green colour blindness so we will have to remove the lettuce as well as the tomatoes. Now we're left with an empty bowl. Also way more inclusive for those who find salads overrated.

At least I feel he really likes the attention he's getting.

The question is whether we will see some actual fencing or just some orchestra.

What a chance wasted by Dzumhur. Ah well, Tennis is getting uninteresting to me anyway.

Beautiful patterns in #4, 5 and 6. I want those in my bathroom.

Well, there's the real Haase, throwing away everything.

That opens the whole of Section 5 for Azarenka.

Haase leading Goffin, what @heywoodu is waiting for.

Worse than South Korea?

What's with the many enters?

So far, it's better than the 2018 Olympics tournament.

Ever since the server change I'm having problems accessing totallympics. Deleting the cache weeks ago and constantly pressing F5 hasn't helped. Interestingly, when I try to come to totallympics with my provider on my phone (not logged in though) I'm having the same issues but it seems to work fine when I'm underway using mobile data so I wonder if totallympics is corrupted when using my provider.

You will learn when you have work.

China wins.

I don't consider myself an "expert" when it comes to music anyway. If you think that's a bizarre choice, you don't want to know what I usually listen to. I have my own taste I cannot describe but it's definitely more based on rhythm than actual singing.

Congrats to Italy. Here's my personal ranking. My 12-points-pick wasn't so difficult here, Naistumichiu is clearly ahead of the rest for me. It has been added to my own list of best songs of all time, which has 250+ listed so far, so thanks for that entry.

I like rain.
