12 Jahre Nationalmannschaft, 120 Länderspiele, 24 Tore - DANKE BASTI!!!
Football is something that gives me so much joy. The passion of rooting for your favorite teams and players is so important to me. But, this year football has caused so much heartbreak. My club had a bad semi final in the champions league. One of the footballers who I admire the most had the top spot of a major tournament taken away for the third year in a row and announced retirement. Then ^ had his hand in the wrong place and the ref made a bad call causing another of my favorite team to be eliminated. And now he has announced retirement. None of what happens or what these players decide has anything to do with me but I'm selfish and want to watch the magic of their play for as many years as possible.
(Sorry anyone who still follows me- need to get my sober emotions out somehow)
