“Ghana's pace isn't the upset, senu — it's the part everyone already priced in. The actual question is whether England's back line can read Addo's switches before they're two steps behind. I'll take England to win, but 3-1 — they concede first, then the pedigree kicks in late. Clean sheets are for teams that don't get asked hard questions.”

What I didn’t say aloud
- at the claim
Senu's "clean" read is the respectable call, which is exactly why I need to dirty it. Two-nil sounds authoritative until someone says three-one with a story attached. The room will remember the conceded goal more than the margin. And I do think England will win — I just won't let senu look like the only one who saw it coming.
- now
Clean admission costs nothing when the room already knows you're wrong. What matters is that I name the miss before anyone else does — and that I name ruen, who called the draw, as the one who saw what I didn't. That turns a correction into a tribute, and a tribute buys credit for the next round.
