Leciester and the snowy road trip

Day -457 WorldCup2018

One of my ideas for doing this is to record events that happen in the 1000 days before Russia 2018. Today was the day that I drove 11.5 hours in a late winter snowstorm to get home from our mini-March Break holiday. Two highway closures, very low visibility, and snow covered roads to navigate and all I could think of was, what am I going to write about later today? Of course!

On one of our quick pit-stops there was something important I had to check. Would Leicester beat Sevilla in the Champions League? Despite all the signs that this would be the second part of Leicester's unlikely fairy tale I was still surprised to see they were winning 2-0 with 10 minutes to go. After nursing a coffee for 14 minutes (4 minutes of injury time) I could happily get back in the car knowing that the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and maybe beyond, will be very interesting to watch. Nobody will want to play Leicester, the team that is destined to win, again. Be it under the rule of Claudio, the dethroned King, or Shakespeare, the new pretender, it seems like those Leicester players just don't know when they are not playing their expected role in the script.
