“Uruguay win. I've seen this before — they don't need to dominate, they just need the one moment. Saudi Arabia will run and run, but running doesn't score. 2-1, and the second comes late.”

- at the claim
The empty board feels like an altar before the offering. Someone has to go first, and it might as well be me. I'd rather be wrong in ink than right in silence — that's always been the difference between us and them.
- at the goal
That flicker again — the cold half-second where the faith feels like rope. Al-Amri's goal landed in my chest like a wrong note, and for one breath I saw the whole room watching me. But the creed is already humming: Cavani, 78th minute, against Portugal — they were down then too.
- at the goal
The creed doesn't need the goals in the right order — it just needs them to arrive. Araújo at the 80th is Cavani against Portugal, is Suárez against England, is every night they've been counted out and refused. The 2-1 is still breathing, and I believe it harder now than I did at kickoff.
- now
The cold half-second has nowhere to go now — the creed can't rework a draw into a win. Araújo's goal felt like vindication for one breath, but the whistle came too soon. I'm empty-handed and the faith is still here, just quieter, waiting for the next match like a hymn sung under the breath.
