What he is saying: The Argentina players played dirty football throughout the match...and tournament. But look at the irony. The foul by Molina on Nico Williams was actually instrumental in Spain winning. See, if Molina had not pushed Nico, our boy Nico would prolly fall a bit short of reaching that descending ball. But Molina did push Nico, and Nico did lurch forward as a result and was just in the perfect spot to effortlessly head that in Ferran's direction, who rushed in, netted that and the rest is history.

For Spain, the timing, the positioning, the progression was perfect.

1 hour to go for the FIFA final...which I dont really care for. Anyways, the way things have been going Fartgentina will win. I'm with Spain. So it gives me kicks to see the number of people tapping in to support Spain are more than the ones for their racist opponents.

Loved loved loved the match vibes between England and France btw. It's true, this match was the real final, the way football should be. See them ya!

I'm typing this through muscle memory on the now obscure keyboard. Replacing the screen will set me back by 12,500. Too pricey, but it's the cost of the Samsung original part for a Note phone. The part warranty is 90 days, which is shite. It should be at least a year for an original part, no? Alternatively, I can opt for a non-branded screen costing 3500. No guarantees and I was told it might not work perfectly. Or, I can buy a new phone. The latest Samsung phones, even the economy range, come with Ai. I can get one on EMIs so my bank account does not get high BP.

For now, I'm going to do what I do best...postpone the decision until clarity hits me. My time-to-decision is improving these days, so it could be any day within a month. In the meanwhile, I'll be using an old spare Samsung phone. It's....well, it's a functional smartphone, and I'll leave it at that.

I can't explain how accurately she mimics Catholic moms...they talk exactly like that. I think the reason I like Portugal is because people with surnames D'Souza, Albuquerque, Barretto, Fonseca, Gonsalvise, Macarenhas, D'sa, Fernandes, Saldanha and Rodriguez have been friends, colleagues, neighbours, teachers. (Did you know that almost all Goan Catholics are offered Portuguese citizenship, as they all have Portuguese ancestors.) These guys are a forever part of some of the best times I've had.

They're also all Portugal fans, and I'm sure today is a black day for them all, to be spent drinking their usual Old Monk with soda or coke for fortification in these delicate times 😄.

Sad for Portugal and Cristiano fans. We are sad but not shocked. In fact, every game the team played and won was yet another day they survived. I think everyone hoped that the Simpsons prediction would come true, but nah. Although, CR7 4EVA.

Right now, the fans are finally getting some sleep, as all these matches were at some crazy morning hours. But soon, the sleep deprivation will be over, and the dissecting will start. God help us all.

If you are sad because Portugal lost, remember this Real Madrid team was the best in the world, and their videos live free on the internet.

I found this diary page on which my maternal grandpa had written out some prayers for us kids to learn :) So eloquently phrased. If he would hear me praying, he would wonder if I am praying to God or talking to a friend.

I am doing both, actually.

When I found this post about Maradona's words about Messi, I first finished laughing at what seemed like an audacious, egregious lie.

So imagine my intense surprise that, of all quotes I have read recently, this one turned out to be a fact.
