Ecuador 3, Bolivia 0
The goals were scored in the first twenty minutes, and the rest of the game was a cool-down session for our starters and then a tryout for various bench players. Énner Valencia broke Ecuador’s career scoring record.
Afterward, Bolivia’s captain, the goalkeeper Carlos Lampe, was interviewed.
He said: We were our own worst enemy – or something to that effect.
Let the scoreline not cause us to forget the solid defending that we did in the second half.
I’m afraid he was deluding himself.

We’ve moved to South Bend. Kind church friends helped us; so did Sam the architect; so did my parents; so did Karin’s dad & Carol, his girlfriend. Samuel was parked in front of the TV for many hours in a mostly happy state, but he would cry whenever I’d leave to move things into the new house. When I’d come back, he’d hug me and whimper, “Don’t go.”
The new house is crammed with disordered furniture and boxes. The rooms are impassable. Karin’s dad & Carol helped us to tidy up our bedroom, so at least we’ll have a place to sleep tonight.
Jasper and Ziva are distressed, of course, but they have been venturing out from their hiding places in the basement.
