LU-KA-KU!

Day -640. WorldCup2018

If I missed a day, what would I do? Could I? Probably not now. So on I go.

At 10 minutes to the end of the day, what comes to mind. Romelu Lukaku. He scored a hat trick today for Everton against Sunderland. All day I read about how he hadn't scored since March. And then he scored three. Did I see any of them? No. Do I really care that I missed football on TV? Not really. It hardly seems special any more when it seems to be on everyday.

But it was good news for Lukaku, after a bad start to the day when a story emerged that he was angry at Everton for not paying for the private jet to fly him back from international duty with Belgium in Cyprus. Lukaku tweeted that the story was all BS. Modern football: on TV all the time and players on social media with instant quotes. There is no need for the old fashioned press conference anymore.
