Match Day 25
Antoine Griezmann is a #19. He holds the ball up like a hulking #9 and playmakes between the lines like a #10.

Match Day 24
I already miss my first sips of coffee at kickoff with Jorge Perez-Navarro yelling “It’s soooccccer timeeeeeeee.”
I already miss William Carvalho trotting around Portugal’s midfield with a Ballon d’Or worthy stache’
And I already miss Saturday morning pickup soccer. When the World Cup hums on in the background of our lives, we all play with an extra bit of pep.
“When I took this decision, I imagined, “OK, what’s the worst possible scenario? What can the worst happen to me?” In that time, my books were not like they are now. They were handmade, photocopied books, just a bunch of A4-size papers stapled together, and I would sell them around in bars and hostels.
I decided, OK, it cannot get worse than that. If the worst possible scenario is I would be an old hippie going around Southeast Asia, sharing inspiration with his younger travelers and making a living out of it, welcome. I can go for that. It will look nice in my biography. After that, I never again had fears of the future, retirement.”
An excerpt from Tyler Cowen‘s interview with travel writer Juan Pablo Villarino.

Match Day 21
Only during a World Cup quarter-final can a bunch of drunk strangers in a pub turn into family. Wait, no. They’re still drunk strangers.
Gotta feel for Russian Brazilian thoroughbred colt Mário Fernandes. My man has to be right back of the tourney.

Match Day 20
He left Raja home. Started Chadli and Fellaini. Finished Brazil and reached the semifinals.
Ok. Bobby is not Pep Guardiola, but he is guiding Belgium through a memorable summer.
Respect due.
