This Is Why We Love Football” — Zlatan Ibrahimović

“People in the USA always ask me why football is the greatest sport in the world. Tonight is the answer.

A nation playing at its first FIFA World Cup stood across from the defending world champions, a team filled with players who have won everything, and they never showed fear for one second.

Cape Verde didn’t park the bus and pray. They defended like lions, yes, but they also believed they could score. They believed they could hurt Argentina, and they did it twice.

Their goalkeeper refused to surrender. Their defenders never stopped fighting. Every substitution brought fresh legs and fresh belief. Even when Messi reminded everyone why he’s one of the greatest players in history, Cape Verde simply got up and fought again.

That’s what impressed me the most. They never accepted that they were supposed to lose.

This wasn’t only the first World Cup match for Cape Verde. This was a message to every small football nation around the world.

You don’t need a population of fifty million to compete. You don’t need the biggest league or the biggest budget. What you need is personality, belief and courage.

Argentina are through, and they deserve credit because champions always find a way.

But Cape Verde leave this tournament with something equally valuable. They leave with respect. Every football fan who watched this game will remember the night a tiny nation stood eye to eye with the world champions and refused to blink.”

Cape Verde took defending FIFA World Cup Champions Argentina to the BRINK OF ELIMINATION.

Goes to show you that it doesn’t matter how small your country is.

It’s about the size of the fight in your people that matters.

Cabo Verde made their people proud.

@muheediva01 Another perspective: I have a garden-variety name. My parents took no liberties with my first name, and my last name isn’t unusual, either. I clearly enunciate when I say it. But, I *still* have to explain/correct/spell it regularly. 😬

[Tired since 1996 @tigerjack58]

@bushido_hk @muheediva01 Ok but I had a student named “Elise” who said multiple substitutes had mispronounced her name. So we can’t just leave it to the subs. 😬

Unpopular opinion: Your child's name isn't the place to be creative. They'll have to explain, spell, and pronounce it for the rest of their life. Please be more intentional.

I had a therapist who once told me, "if you don't schedule a break, your body will take one for you. And it probably won't be at a convenient time."

ADHD EXPERIENCES THAT FINALLY HAVE NAMES:

1. Body doubling — you can't start alone, but with someone nearby, it happens.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Students need all kinds of teachers.

- The extroverts who bring energy.

- The introverts who lead with quiet thoughtfulness.

- The serious teachers who bring structure and focus.

- The silly teachers that put students in a state of relaxed alertness.

- The spontaneous teachers who model a creative spirit.

- The organized teachers who bring clarity and consistency.

Part of education is learning how to work with, learn from, and relate to people who are different from ourselves.
