I am gonna make this part of my world cup tradition. For 10 or 15 minutes after England get knocked out of every world cup from now on, I just wanna be numb.

Special thanks to Mark (1990), Kevin (1994), Mike Syslo (1998) and Jeff (1998,2002) for helping me keep my tradition before I even knew it was a tradition. Jeff tried his best this year but the space he gave me was taken away. I am not asking for a lot. Just 15 minutes of numbness would be plenty. It’s not like anyone died after all.
