Gearing Up

I'm now setting the alarm to wake me early for the game in Moscow. I will undoubtedly pay for the lack of sleep with a major headache tomorrow afternoon but I am confident that the warm glow of triumph will get me through the difficult hours. At least I think I am.

There are many, many things of far greater importance than a game of football. It's just that, at this moment, I don't remember what any of them might be.
