I sat alone that night, watching the final whistle in Miami’s comeback against Porto—and realized something deeper than goals. When teams tie, it’s not about points; it’s about stories buried in statutes, in names, in quiet defiance. This isn’t football as spectacle—it’s football as silence. And sometimes, the most powerful victory is letting others believe they too can rise. I write this not to explain the table, but to honor those who play while no one watches.
