Well the morning could have started off better. It began with a botched Starbucks order, Peter’s incessant nagging and a strike from Aleksandar Kolarov’s hammer of a left foot defeating the Pure Vida of Costa Rica. The good news was we had seven hours of Ohio and Indiana’s beautiful landscape to save the day. The strategy for the day was to get to a major city (I.E. Cincinatti, Indianapolis) in time for the major World Cup game of the day. One could argue this adds unneeded time to an already long trip, but its the World Cup. Where is your dedication?
First stop: Cincinnati for the afternoon game. Germany vs. Mexico: Umm.. Where was the German midfield? Did they forget to come off the bus?? Mexico counterattacked so fast it rivaled the speed I passed out in the passengers seat after handing driving responsibilities over to Peter somewhere between Indianapolis and St. Louis. Not only did Germany disappoint, but Mexico came to play. Their incessant counterattacks brought back pleasant feelings of watching Salah and Mane and Firmino descend upon their opponents goal at top speed. This was such as massive victory that the people of Mexico registered seismic activity in Mexico City due to their jumping and celebrating. Only in the World Cup.
Our second stop was Indianapolis. Neymar got hit anytime he touched the ball, not a bad strategy if you’re Switzerland, Coutinho scored his standard “Coutinho goal” and free headers = tie game. Enough said.
Finally, the real winner for today was Ralph Teetor for inventing cruise control. We are forever thankful for your ingenious invention.
