KATHMANDU: Football season is finally over, at least for those of us whose participation in the game is limited to the comfort of our couches. It is quite certain that the 2014 World Cup will be remembered for Germany’s 7-1 drubbing of their Brazilian hosts.
Long after the stunner of a winning goal by Mario Götze in the final fades from our memory; long after Suarez the Biter jokes stop carrying the same punch (including one showing the Apple logo with the caption “Suarez was here”); and long after we have commiserated enough with the thoroughly dejected Messi at the awards ceremony.
