Eder, before some Villa-Wolves

Day -97 WorldCup2018

I'm in the mood to get in the mood, and also in the mood for some football beauty. So after 903 days and the 365 days before the 2014 World Cup I go back to where it all started. It's been shared before, it's been talked about before but it's always wonderful to watch. Brazil, 1982 and Eder.

Just before that it has to be mentioned that tomorrow in the English Championship one of the biggest matches of the season is taking place: Aston Villa vs Wolves. Big if you are a Wolves fan, because your team's unstoppable march to the Championship championship has slowed down a little in recent weeks, and absolutely massive if you are an Aston Villa fan with wins needed every weekend, and midweek, to catch Cardiff in second place. It feels like a cup final, like the most important local derby ever, like the match that will define Villa's season, like the one you don't want to miss watching. Fine, shake your head. You don't get it. Go enjoy your Man United-Liverpool. Remember what a barnstorming classic it was in October? Exactly, do you even remember it happening?
