He eventually won, kicking the ball away from my feet to a defender coming in at the last minute, but I remember this sense of creating something out of nothing, turning the game on its head with one incredible pass. I'm a defender so it was a precious moment...

The experience of boredom is an underrated aspect of following sports, and deserves more analysis. We need the dull patches in order to appreciate the brilliant moments, but we also need the dull patches for their own sake, I think. Thanks for this post.
