Time for us to say goodbye

There is a whole day without football.
I am already getting withdrawal symptoms. Or is that the coffee kicking in?
Whatever it is, the team will be back here on Friday morning at 6:00am AEST for the first of the quarterfinals between Morocco and France.
I shall see you at some point in the near future, but until then, it's goodbye from me.
The quarterfinals are set
