last minute goals, 6.24.24

i was rushing home to watch italy play croatia. we were down 0-1 literally the whole game. i was caught in traffic (per usual) so i put the game on streameast. we had been struggling all game to get some offense, so it was looking bleak. during the last two minutes, i had lost all hope. money had texted me 3 fire emojis and i didn’t pay no mind to it. then literally at the last minute, we break free and score the equalizer to move on to the round of 16. i couldn’t believe it. literally, last minute. that happens in basketball and sometimes even football, but soccer? i don’t think i’ve ever seen that before. in general, it is so difficult scoring in soccer, much less the last minute.

between the italy/croatia game and game 7 of the stanley cup finals is on tonight, i’ve been spoiled with sports since basketball ended.
