Well, unless I get kidnapped today and strapped to a chair with my eyes pried open like Alex deLarge in “A Clockwork Orange” undergoing The Ludovico Technique, I will have succeeded in my goal of not watching any of the (Not So) Beautiful Game that has gone on for the last 5 weeks.
I will save you several hours today – Argentina wins 2-1 on penalty kicks. Spain will score in the first half and then after a half time show that will make me long for halftime of The Stupor Bowl without an equipment malfunction, Argentina will tie in the waning moments…
There you go- we just saved your afternoon.
That is unless You will want to fight the ennui on the screen some by counting how many times the players flop to the ground like they have been shot by an Armalite rifle trying to draw a penalty.
The Wall Street Journal even totalled it all up…
[Ed. Note- Querie whether more soccer players actually get injured from contact on the field, or by their elaborate fake dives?]
Anyway enough soccer angst. Here is a track by a band whose title applies to today for soccer geeks.
MEXICO 70 🇬🇧 rose from the ashes of the amazing FELT 🇬🇧.
The band title refers to the site of the 1970 World Cup. Defending champs 🇬🇧 lost to 🇩🇪 in the 1/4 finals. They blew a 2-0 lead. Their goalie was out last minute for what is still thought to be intentional food poisoning…
They have never won since…
The first MEXICO 70 LP – “The Dust Has Come To Stay” is perfectly titled as is the track I selected – “Wonderful Lie.”
