FINAL
SUNDAY JULY 15 4pm: FRANCE 4 CROATIA 2
This was the best World Cup Final ever, a fitting climax to the best World Cup tournament ever. Everybody says so. And France were the most deserving winners ever, with the most talented players on earth and one player, Mbappe, who may one day choose to become a god. Everybody says so.
Well, almost everybody. There are one or two dissidents who reckon that France's plan was to bore the crap out of everybody, get GreaseMan diving in dangerous positions, score (luckily) from the unwarranted free kick, and spend the rest of the match looking alarmingly unconvincing against the tiredest side left in the competition. These idiots will refer to French football as soulless, joyless and cynical, and maintain that they were fitting winners of a world cup low in quality and unrewarding to invention and adventure. In their opinion, this world cup sucked football dry, and kicked it back down the road.
But we know better, don't we? We know that this young French side will dominate world football for many years, and that their President will continue to invade everybody's personal space until somebody smacks him in the chops.
God I miss proper football.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
to the last syllable of recorded time;
and all our yesterdays have lighted fools
the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more. It is a tale
told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
signifying nothing.
