Well in the end Balogun served his suspension on the pitch.
We were with friends tonight to watch the game. They don’t know much about soccer, but wanted us to watch it with them to help explain what was happening. So good thing we found other things to talk about. The game was, I hate to say it, exactly what I thought would happen going into this Cup. It was easy to fall for the hype, and I did some, but the result tonight also didn’t surprise me. Disappointing though, for sure.
