Ahead of today’s first World Cup game, Bosnian legend Edin Džeko writes a letter to the children of Bosnia, reflecting on what it meant to survive war as a child and on the horrors still unfolding in the world today:
“In the end, we survived. Looking back, I’m amazed at how strong we were. We were just little kids. But there was no point to the war. All those innocent people killed, and for what?

I don’t want to see it anywhere.
For some reason, adults never learn.” https://t.co/wPzzjylNLL
