I watched a rebroadcast of the Carabao Cup final between the Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester City yesterday with my friend Mark, seen in the photograph on the left wearing his Tottenham jersey and baseball cap, hoping to bring them some luck. We were originally going to watch the game live this past Sunday, but Mark was under the weather after getting his second Covid-19 vaccination shot. Mark and his brother Mike drove down to La Junta, in the far southeast part of Colorado, and dangerously close to Texas, to get their shots, a long drive from Denver, but ultimately worth it. In any case, Tottenham did not play well, and lost to Man City 1-0. Manchester City, by the way, is the top soccer team in England, and has now won the Carabao Cup four times in a row. They remind me of the New York Yankees back in that team's glory years, the only difference being that Man City plays soccer, and are forced to live in Manchester. Bummer.
