The best moment of the entire World Cup thus far.

(I didn’t make any of the macros featured here – full credit to the “creative” nutters on Facebook who found this as amusing as I did).

JOHN TERRY’S AMAZING TORPEDO DEFENSIVE DIVE

…I could go on. Seriously, I cried with laughter. I’m cutting out a picture of the original shot from the newspaper and sticking it on the wall – seeing how England’s campaign came to a miserable end, it’ll cheer me up somewhat! Now I can fully commit to Uruguay…DIEGO! DIEEE-EeeeEeEeEe-GOOO!

Rafa’s having a pretty slow Wimbledon so far, as well. I’m sure he’d rather be winning badly than losing in style. He got angrier than I’ve ever seen him in the last match, though, when the umpire started banging on about coaching. If Rafa was going to start doing that, why would he pick that moment? Sure, he was in a fifth set, but he wasn’t overwhelmed by the opponent. I didn’t at any point get worried that he wasn’t going to win, I thought that was obvious from the beginning. It just took him a while to get there.

Still, Wimbledon’s proving pretty epic this year. Isner vs. Mahut was mindnumbingly dull towards the end, but the score and sheer length of the match was awesome. Also, the doubles #1s are out! So perhaps a few new stars are on the rise…

I’m going to spend my evening reading The Passage, which has thus far been a very enjoyable distraction. I’m also going to write a few emails, catch up on things concerning the book, etc…and I’m going to stop expecting favours from people, because I clearly ain’t going to get any. Only one thing for it: stop dishing them out.
