Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Goal-fueled games are rare, but this one had more than most. A team’s record gets broken, but not by much. A new name is given to an old sport. The crowd was probably not there for the drama. The score was the only thing that mattered.
One goal away from history, but not quite there. A team’s effort was impressive, but not groundbreaking. A game that only a few would remember. A record that almost stood, but didn’t.
Original observation: Soccer fans might be dreaming, but the scoreboard doesn’t lie.
