sports, politics & religion

Neither a soccer fan nor expert, I watched Germany v Sweden yesterday, Toni Kroos scoring on a free kick to win it 2 - 1 after 90 minutes, to me a loss as I am for whoever is playing Germany, not sports but politics and lifelong memories of a national personality.

Elsewhere, Suisse 2, Serbia 1, someone* speaking for Bosnia, Serbia or Albania said "You should never mix football and politics" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44586587 but WTH, we mix politics and religion, so also politics and sports as two ethnic Albanian Kosovan players scored for Switzerland. 

Still elsewhere, news from Atlanta is hopeful and good for Joseph as he continues to improve and impress. Σιώπα πεφίμωσο, Peace! Be still! and the wind dies down, and the sea goes calm. Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him? 

Back to 7H, ringing my cellphone yesterday, two calls from the same number in - - Iran? Ignore, erase; after the second call, block.

* Well, it was the Swiss coach, who is from Kosovo. Football, soccer, mixes strange bedfellows.
