It turns out there were more than 32 worthy qualifiers for each World Cup, though 48 may narrowly be stretching it. Unsurprising how much more enjoyable the idea of the World Cup is when it is almost exclusively a soccer tournament and not being held in capitalistic purgatory. I still can’t work out how to salvage the flow of games and credibility of the matches vis-a-vis past World Cups that did not heave a three-minute pause in each half. Seems like every time a match is hitting its stride, there is a whetting of whistles. Should not become a four-quarter sport.

(Random weather note: My friend Jeff Rueter covered the match for The Guardian, but was stuck in the press box, which is an enclosed fishbowl just under the suite level of the stadium. From that vantage point, it’s impossible to see anything but the pitch itself, along with most of the opposing stands. As a result, Jeff had to text me at kickoff to - and I just love this - ask what the actual sky looked like. So, to any Guardian readers who perused your print editions this morning, I helped with the description of the clouds.)
