This is a belated post, but, I felt I needed to report that Brazil in the Cumberland United Men’s Recreational 30+ league has moved to a 4-2 season record with last Friday’s fairly easy win over Chile. The last time the teams played, I was away in New York and Chile won 4-3. Clearly we now know what the difference was. 
The best I was able to contribute to Friday’s game was a solid 3 or 4 shifts in the midfield, being able to advance fairly usefully the balls that came my way. But I couldn’t play much more than these few shifts, because I wasn’t feeling well at all from something that felt like a stomach flu and I was starting to fade midway through the second half. We had plenty of spare players, so I decided to call it quits about 3/4 of the way through the game. But as I was walking toward the car, lightning started to crack down nearby and the referee quickly called the game. As it was, I made it to the car just as an intense downpour began, propelled by strong winds, with everyone else getting thoroughly soaked.
So the great Jorge (that would be me) now has 4 wins and 1 loss to his name – although I could use some of that action in the markets.
