Years have gone by and I've finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good soccer. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: "A pretty move, for the love of God."
And when good soccer happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don't give a damn which team or country performs it.

Five Months Will Feel Like Five Years
Looks like the injury Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o received yesterday to his knee during the Champions League match against Werder Bremen is a lot worse than previously thought. You can read more about Eto'o and his torn meniscus here. Sigh.
God. I'm worried about Barca even making it out of the group stage of the Champions League, although if anything the rest of the squad will want to do it just for him. As for the league...that's not looking good either.
Forgive me, but it's hard not to wallow in pessimism right now.
