The world has gone crazy with World Cup fever! I love it. The excitement, the yelling, the chance to eat salty treats in front of the TV. I’m captivated… no it’s not the players in tight shirts or the fluorescent orange and silver shoes which are astonishingly distracting. There’s a time in the game when “magic” happens.
Usually after the husband yells out “DIVER, get up and stop wasting time” – sometimes it’s more descriptive but you get the idea. A player is down, holding a limb, scrunching his face in pain – is it broken, is he going to make it? The medic team runs to his aid and pull out their secret weapon. Too small to be a stretcher, too big to be medicine and resembles a water squirty bottle. A few quick sprays are all they need. It’s fine – he’s ALIVE, catastrophe diverted!!
I’m amazed. What just happened? What was in that spray bottle? Where can I get some?? And like all good investigators – I Googled it.
It’s somewhat of a mystery, a conspiracy in fact. There are forums debating on this special formula. Some claiming it’s a cure for everything but the Government has been holding out on us. Cynics claim it’s a common numbing spray that’s effective for a short period of time. That is, if the player is fine and still running after 10 minutes, he faked the whole injury.
I like to believe in the best of people. That they’re professionals who uphold fair play, justice and freedom and all that jazz.
I choose to believe in magic – the Magic Spray Bottle: the cure for everything!
Seriously though, where can I get some??
