It’s time for us to say goodbye
A whole day without football.
I’m already starting to experience withdrawal symptoms. Or is it the coffee that works?
Whatever it is, the team will be back here Friday morning at 6:00 am EST for the first of the quarter-finals between Morocco and France.
See you sometime in the near future, but until then I say goodbye.

Tomorrow is a day without football
Um, Simon? What should we do tomorrow? Not a day without football? I can hardly imagine it
– Josh
For example, I will sleep.
And probably watching the Tour de France.
And the state of origin.
Look, there’s a lot to do, but it’s just one day.
