The history of Spanish fútbol.

“Spain: Home of Picasso, Penelope Cruz, and, for some time, Fascism.”

Ahead of EURO 2012, The Guardian is doing a series of videos telling the stories of Europe’s most acclaimed national teams. Alongside some delightful animation, James Richardson shares Spain’s story, given that España is expected to win yet another trophy this summer. In their words, let’s go through “the history of the Spanish national side, from their refusal to play in the first World Cup to glory at last in 2008 and 2010, via penalty misery in England and plenty of political interference.” [posted by EB]

When I first watched Gilmore Girls I really liked Logan. At the time he was my favourite of Rory’s boyfriends and it frustrated me when she turned down his proposal. After watching those final few seasons again I realised how awful he was. Logan changed Rory beyond repair. Under his influences she turned her back upon all of her dreams from becoming a journalist to attending Yale. What’s more, he told Rory that she wasn’t good enough in quite a cruel way. One of the loveliest things about Rory was how incredibly bright and independent she was (like Lorelai.) Logan took all of that away from her as she became less bright and dependent on him. If they’d stayed together she would have had to become some kind of trophy wife like his mother.

The periods when Rory is with Logan - especially when she’s living in her grandparent’s pool house and when she moves into his apartment - are my least favourite in the entire Gilmore Girls series.

I wish Rory and Marty could have got together. If I had to date any of the men in the series, I’d pick him in a heartbeat. EDIT: And, woops, I forgot about Tristan! Rory and Tristan could have been interesting.
