Day 21 WorldCup2018
A rest day. A day to recover. I heard on the radio today about a study done during the 2006 World Cup in Germany that showed that a number of German football supporters had acute cardiovascular events when Germany played. My ears heard "good exercise for strengthening the heart" but I don't think that was the conclusion of the study. I wonder if anybody is checking the hearts of people in Belgium, England, Argentina, Columbia.....what the hell, how about anywhere that the World Cup is watched? It's reached levels of constant excitement, at almost every match, that anybody would be hard pressed to remember a comparison at a previous World Cup. Individual matches, maybe, but not almost every single match.
The two day break might good to get everybody's adrenaline levels restored a little bit. But just the thought of Friday is enough to get the heart going again. France-Uruguay, an enticing clash of styles. Brazil-Belgium. Wow. The European Brazilians against the real Brazilians, who are not maybe as Brazilian as they used to be but they are still Brazil.
Enjoy your day off tomorrow. Make good plans for Friday.
