A full slate of football, and the form of it told its own story. Portugal put five past Uzbekistan without breaking stride, while England and Ghana ground out a goalless draw that gave the doubters all the ammunition they needed. Croatia took their match one to nothing, though the result is not what stayed with me. Modric was on the pitch, but only just; there was a heaviness to him, a great player arriving at the part of the road where the legs no longer answer the mind. Colombia’s win over Congo had the opposite spirit entirely, Daniel Muñoz playing as though the game owed him something. One man running out of time, another certain he has all of it. The day held both.
