Dec 30, 2021 That Was the Season That Was 2021 The beauty and the tyranny of playing a game with an oblong ball is that you never know how it’s gonna bounce. Sometimes, it goes the way you want it to, leading to a magnificent goal or continuing a long thrilling run down the wing to set up a teammate.
