'I feel less and less connected to the footballers of today'

Apparently the Confederations Cup was on over the last while. It’s the tournament to give a little smoke test to the football World Cup the following year. 

It can allow the hosts to see which overpriced stadiums are finished and which ones have stairs that lead to nowhere and where are local populations seething with resentment about the waste of money.

This year’s cup passed me by completely. I think I might be drifting away from the beautiful game. It’s partly the game but mostly me.
