World class football | The Professor's Convatorium

For a few weeks now I have been contemplating a separate, dedicated blog to futebol/footballing only, primarily for my footballing friends that follow my regular public blog. I do not intend this possible blog to become an overwhelming workload of maintenance or responding. Those of you who know of and understand my present situation—as a full-time/overtime Caretaker of my Mom with severe Stage 7 Dementia and Early-Alzheimer’s—I simply cannot spend tons of time on another additional blog; I can barely manage this one and not at all my private blog.

Hence, I am hoping that this possible Footballing/Futebolling blog is merely an opportunity for myself and my WordPress sporting friends/followers around the world, e.g. South Africa, England, Wales, Australia/New Zealand, Brasil, etc., and infrequently the USA, to sometimes discuss, vent, or celebrate… mmm, yes… “The Beautiful Game” from all of the world’s top leagues, European and South American tournaments, transfers, up and coming “Wonder Kids,” and World Cup qualifying as well as THE quadrennial World Cup, and anything and/or everything football, or futebol, or soccer depending on your vernacular, including past/present great players, tactics, training, and specific individual and team skills. Also, the top managers of the game; so basically anything related to the world’s most popular sport. Hands down.

Therefore, I present to my WordPress footballing buddies, what do you think about this idea? Be boldly honest please, I need to know what to expect and whether or not I can/could keep up reasonably well. Tell me your thoughts and feelings.

And gone for several lunches too I’m sure! 😉

This is a WPPSA for all my blog-followers and any visitors stopping by here between Nov. 20^th thru Dec. 18^th, 2022. What is a WPPSA you ask? Well, it is a WordPress Public Service Announcement, of course! And it is telling all of you that I will be very unavailable here during all the FIFA World Cup games for the next 4-plus weeks. Most of the televised games here in the U.S. are between 4am to 4pm CST until the Round of 16 then later in the day with the quarter-finals beginning Dec. 3^rd.

*Khalifa International Stadium – Doha, Qatar*

Real quickly, here are the U.S.A.’s first three games, Central Standard Time (UTC offset: -6 hours)…

USA vs Wales — 1:00pm CST, Nov. 21
England vs USA — 1:00pm CST, Nov. 25
Iran vs USA — 1:00PM CST, Nov. 29

Best of luck to your nation or favorite national team, if your native country didn’t qualify this year. My second country, my home away from home in world football/soccer, or futebol as it’s called in Brasil, is… well, you guessed it: Brasil. I will be cheering passionately for both teams! Meanwhile, for a teaser-appetizer of the planet’s most greatest sporting spectacle only every four-years when about 7/8th’s of the planet’s population watch obsessively every match, here are some of the Top 35 Goals of all World Cups since 1958. Enjoy.
