until Tokyo Olympics

Swift passage of time

When I first got interested in the World football was the 1998 World Cup France.
20 years have already passed since them.


In this world cup, there are many young players who played outstandingly, such as Harry Kane (England) and Kylian Mbappé (France).

When they were kids, they met football players who were their idols, like many other boys.

Mbappé boy and his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kane boy attended the football school run by David Beckham.
Oh, Beckham is very young!

Surprisingly, the girl with her hair in braids is now kane's wife!!!!!

For Kane, Beckham is his idol when he was a kid, but for me, Beckham is the player who played until quite recently.
Even Ronaldo is still an active player.

Those kids are now active professional players.
Time flies and I feel the passage of time.



Just before the final game, two people carried the World Cup trophy as presenters.

The TV reporter said the men was the legend of German football, but I thought I didn't know of him, and so I thought he was older generation.

However, after finishing the trophy present event, I got to know that he was Philipp Lahm! I know him very well since he first attended the World Cup, which was the 2006 in Germany.

At that time, I chose my own awards and selected him as the New Face Award. Haha. He was 22 years old.

That young player became the captain of the German national team after that, and won the championship at the previous World Cup in Brazil, as many people know.

The 22-year-old young guy is now considered as the legend and looks quite old (haha).
Time flies and I feel the passage of time again.
