I never write as much as I want to. I always have a whole pile of ideas I think would be fun to work on, and then between the demands of everyday life, the time-consuming process of getting from “I should write something with this free time I have now” to actually getting into a rhythm and writing more than a few words, and the frequent desire to just do something else with a free evening, most of them never leave the little list I have in my notes app. Somewhere in that sentence is an explanation for why I never wrote a Copa América postmortem, or an attempt to figure out Brazil’s current depth chart in each position, or a breakdown of interesting Brazilian transfers that might have flown under the radar. Or, to phrase those as questions: Would Rodrigo Muniz have helped at the Copa América? How good is Rodrigo Muniz, really? Is Rodrigo Muniz the most interesting Brazilian striker flying under the radar?
(To answer them in order: Probably not, still seems like a flash in the pan to me, and depends on whether you think Brenner meant to do this.)
