Salah is too fast for everyone but Varane, I'm surprised they haven't given up some goofy goal yet.

ya I could see that


also, I have nothing to back this up with other than everyone seems to wear glasses, but I think eyesight is pretty poor in general in Asia so maybe the bigger screen helps with that?

Interestingly, non-Apple devices do reasonably well here... and those seem to be bigger than, say, an i6 so I guess most are comfortable with a bigger device.  

It's hilarious to see someone talking on the phone with one of those though... 

Didn't apple relatively recently come to China? I also remember from my China trip that people said iPhones were overpriced and expensive while their local brands catered to the market was great hardware.

It doesn't surprise me at all that people favor those phones over what we generally use.

The bigger screens definitely help with commute, I noticed mobile gaming, reading and movies were HUGE when I was traveling there.

I've heard of Huawei but never really paid any attention to them until they worked with Google on the 6p. Didn't realize that they were such a big company at the time

Officially, yes... but before that, people were still able to get their hands on Apple products via the grey-market (mostly HK).  Sooooooo many resellers here... I remember seeing an elderly couple line up for iPads in the morning and Nikes in the afternoon. 

And not just Chinese brands... LG and Samsung do reasonably well too.

Anywho...

Yep. Seemed very confident taking on defenders like the good ole days. Haven't seen that in awhile man.

Feels like whenever Messi does something,Ronnie always seems to answer and vice versa

Gent just got robbed at the end. Should have been a penalty that would have tied the game.

I"m sure the rivalry between them has really helped increase their stats.

We're lucky to have them both at the same time.

phablets are huge in asia 

idk why 

Good for watching vids during the commute to work?  

I dunno... 

bingo... not to mention, most people in china (especially Hong Kong) constantly look at their phones. Watching videos, reading comic books, playing games, and checking Facebook... that is why phablets are huge in Hong Kong .

china has a ~20% tax on any product that is not a chinese brand (even if the stuff is manufactured in china).  Apple does not discount their items in china, so it is basically the same price as the states, + 20%.  Apple also had problems with the iPad 2 I think because some other company had "trademarked" iPad before they started selling them in china, and there was a whole big lawsuit which the chinese gov sided with the non-apple company.

I thought Chelsea looked really good yesterday

 

[blackmomo]

@Rolaholic you from MTL correct?? know any good spots I can go to watch footy this weekend?

 

[AZwildcats]

Chelsea played well for chunks of the game, especially wth Willian on the counter. PSG dominated the majority of the game, but didn't create as many chances as they should have
