World Cup of last dances

 In my earliest memory 1998 and 2002 world cups were the best hosting handful of legends at their best and great footballing teams

It can't get any worse than this when a handful of old men who should have retired long ago arrived with a supposedly emotional, warm story of how they wanted a last dance. Instead they made mockery out of their game, cut a sorry figure and exited ,unceremoniously.

Cult creation and 'making of legend' is natural. But not when you make a story out of nothing and forget that your team and sport matters. Then you go ahead to use short reels and 'stories' to make a crowd believe that you are going to work out a magic when you don't have that left in you.
