Day -538 World Cup 2018
In extreme sadness, happiness is sometimes found. Not the kind of joy that can ever replace what caused the sadness, but a moment of happiness that shows that that memories will live on, new relationships will be born and that the loved ones of those gone will hopefully find solace in the coming together of a larger community. Football has had many of these moments.
On Wednesday, Chapecoense were presented with the Copa Sudamericana trophy. Their new president received the award at the draw for the Copa Libertadores, for which Chapecoense have now qualified as the winners of the competition, the final of which they never got to play in. I don't understand much Spanish or Portuguese but after a tribute by the COMNEBOL president and a representative of Atletico Nacional there is a wonderful tribute to Chapecoense and the highlights of their run to the final. It's worth watching at least from about minute 1.50.
