Some fans still might be trying to get home from Doha, Qatar, and there are people still celebrating in the streets of Buenos Aires. The blood alcohol content of some of Argentina's players has not probably yet returned to normal levels (and good for them). The exhausting World Cup -- which was somehow both a marathon and a sprint -- is still pretty large in the rearview mirror, and now we get a bit of a break before club soccer returns to command our attention.
[puts finger in ear like old-timey newscaster getting a sudden update] I'm sorry, I'm being told that Liverpool is playing Manchester City later today.
