Not only did Federer get humiliated by Nadal in the French Open final, but the Swiss also lost their opening match at Euro 2008. They're in danger of "pulling a Canada". Canada has the ignominious claim to fame as the only summer Olympic host to not win a gold (Montreal in '76 - Canada repeated the challenging accomplishment at the '88 winter games in Calgary) - well the Swiss could well host the Euros and fail to score a goal. At least they still have Alinghi (which has always struck me as an impressive performance for a landlocked country).
On the movie front, we saw Lars and the Real Girl last night and both really liked it. Ryan Gosling (of London, Ont.) is fantastic (again) and it's a great, surprisingly fresh story about community. If only we could all live in such a supportive world.

Aie aie aie I'm not showing this one to Serge! Cross your fingers that they do not remain goal-less against Turkey on Wednesday. 'Cause let's face it, they don't have a huge chance against Port-u-goal! And at least Austria is as talented as the Swiss - and I heard that if the Austrian team loses, they get locked in a basement for the next 25 years.
