Torpedo

That's going to be the match indeed. I was somewhat expecting a bad result vs. Holland, not this bad, but was mentally prepared for a draw or a minimal defeat. I knew Holland would kill for a revenge after the 2010 Cup defeat at the final. Chile made things really difficult for us last tournament, and if Spanish guys don't overcome today's game, they won't win either. They've been really worried for what happened to France after their title in 1998 and the 2002's debacle.

Well, this is just the first game and I'm still confident the team can make the next phase. In South Africa they also lost the first game against Switzerland. Main problem would be crossing against Brazil. If they're going to get the same referees' help than at their first game against Croatia...

RIP, Jimmy

I'm sorry for your loss, Al.

Yup, make that a priority.

What about garlic? I can smell that from a mile away. Damn Mediterraneans, I know because I'm one of them. But smokers are much worse. The mix of garlic, vinegar, tobacco and cheap wine on headphones is really nauseating.

Kinda hate you right now

Exciting as in easily available and cheap?

Happy birthday, Ben!

I've yet to see a single Hifiman headphone that stays in the market without a change. Or simply stays long enough Are they kidding us or what?

Maybe if your wife ever finds out.

Yup, why obsessing about keyboards, headphones, bikes, amps, photography or watches when we can obsess about sex, whisky and food. Much healthier.

I had here an Auralic on loan and my Gilmore Reference which is more or less a GS-X. Tried it with the HD800, LCD2, R10, Ps1... On all accounts I liked better de GR, even on balanced with the cans I was able to try it like the LCD2. With these still my favorite amp is the B22 and it's not even balanced.

Congratulations, Peter. I wish you enjoy it

Yup, Kimi had a great start, and bad luck too. Like Vettel, the Spanish TV announcer said Sebastian inherited Weber's bad luck . The Mercedes kids are behaving pretty well, I was expecting some aggressive take over try by Louis, but he stood calm. However the feeling I have is that he'll settle accounts somewhere else. It's a pity Ferrari can't give Fernando a really competitive car. Maybe with a good car his qualities wouldn't show as much as they're showing now. I mean he'd be heading the championship with the same kind of boring repetition as Vettel did past years.

We'll see tomorrow how that ends

Montercarlo's qualifying in 20 minutes. Will there be surprises? I don't think so, yet...

Happy birthday, Brent!!!
