futbol

thank you to God and whoever else is responsible for bringing the world together, away from war and strife, every 4 years.. just to watch 22 people on a patch of grass kicking a ball around and trying to get it into a net.

I mean, don't you think it's kind of beautiful the way people look at Germany as simply a thrilling team to watch rather than ex-war dictators. or how the USA is no longer a superpower because (truthfully) they just suck. it's as though the world has stopped moving just for this one incredible game called football.

what's politics? terrorism? power? ..but football I can understand. (well, except maybe the ever-dubious offside rule.) if only everything can be made this simple.
