The old guys

Day -667 WorldCup2018
It's late and Olympic watching is taking up a lot of energy. So I'll quickly share the news that Lukas Podolski announced that he is retiring from international football for Germany. My reaction was, "hadn't he already?" Him and Miroslav Klose seemed to be playing forever.
While reading that story I came across another player who really has been playing forever, Australian Tim Cahill. After a hugely successful career overseas, mostly in England, he is returning home to play for Melbourne City. Cahill is 36 and after scoring a spectacular goal at the 2014 World Cup when most people thought he was past it, nobody will be surprised to see him in Russia in 2018.
