Vamos Chape

Day -509. WorldCup2018

Uganda are out of the Afcon after losing 1-0 to Egypt. Ghana are in the quarterfinals thanks to their 1-0 against Mali. Egypt play Ghana in the last round where a win for Egypt will give them top spot in the group, but a loss and a win for Mali could mean the Malians go through. The goal difference is not too significant.

Uganda didn't have one shot on target, meaning Egypt's record breaking 44 year old goalkeeper, Essam El Hadary, only had to "punch several set pieces clear" (BBC).
I marched in the Women's March in Toronto today. It was a significant, historical moment and I want to remember it 509 days from now.

Chapecoense played their first match today since the tragedy that wiped out almost all of their team. They played a friendly against Brazilian champions Palmeiras. The three surviving players were presented with the Copa Sudamericana trophy before the 2-2 draw. They stopped play in the 71st minute to remember the 71 victims of the plane crash and another rousing rendition of "Vamos Chape."
