I know I was disappointed by the call and it partly has to do with the Griezmann play before and also the fact that it was the world cup final... Rule of thumb is if it's 50/50 and you're not sure, don't call it. Especially if it's a decisive call in the final. Thing I don't understand about VAR, the ref is already going over to make the decision, why doesn't someone in the booth mention, "hey you fd up on the free kick it was a dive, just know if you give this call as well, you're massively influencing the game in one teams favor. Two calls of that caliber are almost impossible to overcome.
It could've been an epic game, Croatia was dominant on the ball for 60 minutes but chasing two goals, especially ones off bad calls is nearly impossible to do at that level. I stopped watching after the third France goal. Croatia had spent all their energy through previous games then trying to play catch up was too much. I thought they deserved more of a chance and I wanted to see France tested but everything went their way. I think they would've had the better chance to win either way but Croatia was really bringing it, it was sad to watch them go down that way after all that effort.

No caffeine today. Shud be interesting! Wasn't got a pretty good headache in the evening and it stayed until i fell asleep. Ate a package of cookies and some chocolate. Not proud of it but long story short, that girl i mentioned earlier, i managed to keep her interest for another week but yesterday night she texted to say take care. Have not dealt well with it, she was probably the one but i wasn't present and blew the chance.
What strikes me is that, and we all know this, there isn't one key to success. Having said that, though, a major clue is that success can be found by consistency (Kipchoge), high mileage (everyone pre-1985), and NOT necessarily a fixed schedule (Deek) or killer individual workouts (every workout king ever).
In reviewing my own running logs I found that I was always tired and complaining about it (Steve Scott logs), and I'd nearly always default to 'just running,' rather than doing real workout days. Then, my workout days were hardly ever planned, they'd just happen on days I felt better. There was maybe more an emphasis to find these days with races upcoming, but if racing a lot, there was no need.
So race more.
- run 7.10 km in 39:49
- stretch
first 4 km with gf, it's hard to speed up much once i get into a groove at a particular pace.
By high fat I mean 3-4 days before I'm at like 50:25:25 fat:carbs:protein and the day before and on the day of cpmpetition I'll carb load above daily caloric value while continuing to get fats in.

Got in as a sub. Played pretty well although maybe somewhat selfishly. Was good all around. Drenched in sweat early on and my throws looked worse then they should have.
I can't do deep jump stop plants on turf, just can't get enough traction. The alternative is chop steps but I have to take 4 chop steps instead of 2 to get a good change of direction. Neither is optimal and I couldnt efficiently guard the best cutter with thia dilemma. The solution is probably better body control or more chop step practice. Working through some eccentrics and iso's at chop step joint angles would also be helpful. I feel like this is the main parameter that is holding back my game from being elite.
