What a fantastic game, I have to admit though after Slovakia got their goal within the first 5min of the second half my heart dropped and I nearly went to bed but I am so glad I didn’t what a wonderful result.
It made me think how many times do we put our expectations both high and low on children and don’t see past what we believe they are capable of. Even the commentator last night was resigned to the fact that we were going to lose he was saying “well at least we made it to the World Cup this time” and “they did well to defend during the first half we just don’t have the experience to complete the game”.
How many times have we doubted the underdog in their ability to succeed? Maybe a child will surprise us, especially if we believe they can.
I will leave the last words to 28 year old striker Rory Fallon “We’ve been in the ashes for quite some time and we’ve been waiting to rise up, tonight we did”
Have a wonderful week in OSCAR everybody and bring on Italy!
