And that’s how we won the Nations Cup… I couldn’t stop screaming when the whistle blew. Lord knows I wouldn’t have survived another traumatic penalty shoot-out. Still, I enjoyed the game. Maybe we could’ve played a lot better and not missed so many opportunities, but it doesn’t matter now, does it? We have the cup!!! Anyway, here are my highlights from the game: Early in the game, I felt chills run down my spine when the ball somehow got to our half of the field.

I’m not playing today and I’m not the coach. I’m not even related to the assistant coach, yet I’m nervous as hell.

I want to ask a question… When you guys watch a news report or read an article in a newspaper or a magazine, how do you react? I don’t mean how do you react in front of your fellowship members, or in front of your parents… I mean, what is your gut reaction? At home, while waiting for my normal TV shows, I used to have to sit with my mum in the living room sometimes and watch the news with her. And because of the way I reacted to certain headlines and stories, she would turn to me and give me…
