Day -52 WorldCup2018
Over the almost 1000 days of my countdown I've had to mark a few sad events of mass killings around the world, when football had to take a back seat. Every single one is one unnecessary act too many, one death to many. Today it was close to home in Toronto. It's too soon to know why it happened but it's incredibly sad how somebody's life can be be so suddenly cut short by a person with whom he or she has no relationship but has some sort of axe to grind, or possibly a psychological reason for doing what he did.
Here's to hoping that I don't have to do this again before, during or after Russia 2018.
