What Writers Can Learn from the FIFA World Cup About Success and Perseverance
By Lynn H. Blackburn @LynnHBlackburn
I’ve watched more soccer in the last month than I have in my entire life.
Y’all.
I know very little about soccer.
I mean, I know the gist of it. I know you can’t touch the ball with your hands, unless you’re the goalie. I know there are two forty-five-minute halves. I know that for some bizarre reason, no one but the referees really know when the game ends because of the way they manage the stoppage time. And I know that offsides is bad, but I have no idea why.
I also know that I don’t have to watch the whole game. If I have it on, when everyone starts yelling, I need to look up and I’ll get to see someone score. Or … not. Usually not.
