Sony did just launch the dual cell LCD professional grading monitor, BVM-HX310, but it's not a consumer grade TV.

In the past I always liked the Sharp brand. They had some difficult financial problems and their brand was diluted for a while when they were licensed to Hisense. On 28 April 2017, Sharp turned its first operating profit in three years, citing the restructuring efforts by Foxconn who now own a majority of Sharp.

All true, but with Foxconn behind the brand we're in for a big comeback for Sharp.

Gutted at the result - though Alex Morgan taking the piss with her celebration wound me up even more, bloody colonials - but it was a fair one, England were second best throughout.

I didn't like that either

I figured you wouldn't, given your distaste for their earlier antics. They finally pissed me off too. What's she going to do against the Dutch I wonder? Mime smoking a fattyboombatty spliff (which practically looks like the same celebration anyway)? Or if it's the Swedes, how about pretending to put together some flatpack furniture?

Tough soccer fans crowd here; it's part of the game fun. It's more than just a game, it's a show, a big phenomenon show...FIFA. So they show their stuff; adrenaline audience driven...for the love of the sport.
Leave your TV chair for a moment and get in the field to show your strut; see if you can do better.

Go behind the scenes; I like.
* It's probably a HDR camera they used. Check the background ...

When I first saw her gesturing after her goal I thought she was taking a puff (from a spliff).

[LordoftheRings]

And she's one of the cutest players ...

That's literally what I thought it was first of all, that she's having a toke. I didn't recognise the gesture because the irony is that British people don't actually drink their tea with a pinky in the air, it's all part of the American fascination with thinking we're all upper crust toffs with posh accents eating cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off. **** that noise, jack

i don’t know, it’s just not how i rolled
way back when i was in high school and there were no ‘soccer moms’ nor visions of glory or riches beyond that of collegiate soccer, i scored a hat trick against our cross town arch rival and i (we) never celebrated like that

knees
2 torn ACLs
1 torn medial meniscus
1 torn medial collateral ligament
1 torn lateral meniscus
hours of physical rehab between injuries requiring open surgery

now degenerative arthritis in both knees for which i probably should have gotten total knees long ago

brain
at least one likely concussion, probably a couple more

[Geoff D]

I think that ^ post qualifies as a, how you say, "mic drop"?

Any time someone says that shit to me I just tune out, it's a very lazy way of closing down anyone's thoughts or feelings on a subject. Not surprised though, coming from you.

Well, there is also badminton, snooker, ping pong, chess.

Wait. What? No.

I don't mean people likes you, I mean the wider populace's take on it, fuelled by the media as always. Even the 'take the tea' dig at the end of her twitter post shows that up because I've never heard anyone British say they're "taking tea" in all my years.

Still, given that the day has ticked over into July 4th on this side of the water then I guess I have my answer as to the antagonistic celebration from Ms Morgan. Happy Independence Day! (If that's how you say it?) And congratulations on beating the Dutch in Sunday's final.
