One Love

Day 7 in the books. 5/16 of the way through the World Cup, and we had a day, to use some tennis terms, of three instances of One-Love. First Portugal struggled to win 1:0 over Morocco. Then Uruguay labored to a 1:0 victory over Saudi Arabia. And finally, Spain battled to a 1:0 victory over Iran. All this love, but breakups are happening. The losing sides are all looking like leaving the World Cup too early.

Today's Disciplinary Official is winking Ronaldo.

His fourth goal of the tournament was for all of you. He's winking. He knows you're noticing. Did you notice? If not you get a red card. Yeah, that's right. You're shaking your head saying you noticed now. And he notices you...ok, maybe we should rethink who our disciplinary officials are.
