Melo Out in OKC
What was once the most valuable startup in the association, the Oklahoma City Thunder, is now looking shaky as they look to shed their $310 million dollar payroll and luxury taxes after signing Paul George to essentially a $290 million dollar contract. Last summer, Sam Presti looked like a genius after pulling off deals to acquire both Carmelo Anthony and Paul George. The future looked bright in Oklahoma City and they looked to have rebounded from the departure of Kevin Durant a summer ago. That future looks bleak at the moment as they move into the 2018-19 campaign. Still without much of a bench, the roster is top heavy.

Wow... wow... WOW! What an amazing World Cup! I mean they're all amazing, who am I kidding, but this one was one for the books. You saw Croatia make it to the finals for the first time ever, Peru back in the World Cup after a 36 year absence, some bracket busters early on, and a home team that proved they deserved to be in this Cup, regardless of their automatic qualification due to them being the host nation. Let's talk about some of the moments that will make this Cup memorable!

Croatian Firefighters Show the Heart of First Responders as Duty Calls Even During the World Cup
As the 2018 World Cup draws to a close, we often realize that the heart of a champion often doesn't just reside in the realm of sports. Some Zagreb, Croatia firefighters demonstrated this first hand as they were watching the penalty kick to see whether their home country of Croatia would be able to advance to the final match last week. The tension was palpable in the air as these men cheered on their home team. However, as they were enmeshed in the football match, the fire siren went off and no one even hesitated: they all bolted right out of their chairs and immediately sprang to action and rushed to the call, regardless of how the penalty-kick went. At the end, there was only a small handful of people to see that Croatia made a game-winning kick and was able to advance to play against France. There is no questioning the fact this tells us something really interesting about the mindset of first-responders the world over. Here are some points to consider:

Croatia's Magical Run Ends In the Final
It's sad. Croatia, a tiny country with a population of 4.3 million making it to the World Cup Finals, only to lose. I was certainly rooting for Croatia and sad to see them defeated. Here is a recap of their magical run throughout the Fifa World Cup. It all started with a 2-0 win versus Nigeria, with Oghenekaro Etebo scoring an own goal and the captain Luka Modric scoring in the 71st minute to seal the victory. Their next game was against Lionel Messi and Argentina. Croatia came in swinging and completely destroyed Argentina 3-0. Ante Rebic, Luka Modric, and Ivan Rakitic all scored for the Croatian team. In their final group stage game against Iceland, once again, Croatia ended on top with a score of 2-1 with Milan Badelj and Ivan Perisic both scoring. And just like that, Croatia had won its group and was moving onto the knockout stage for the first time since 1998.

Southgate's Revolution
On the day of the World Cup final, the England national team returns home following an incredible run which took them to their first World Cup semi final since 1990. This tournament has seen a steady resurgence in popularity for the England team as Gareth Southgate and his young Lions recapture the hearts of a nation who had fallen out of love with their national team following a disastrous group stage exit at the last World Cup in Brazil, and an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to minnows Iceland in Euro 2016. But as the tournament draws to a close, the inevitable post-mortem of England's performance brings up some interesting points.

Why the 2018 World Cup Mattered So Much to England
At the time of writing it is the 15th July, 2018; the day of the final match of the 2018 world cup, which will take place between France and Croatia. The past 25 days have been filled with tension, tears and a whole lot of extra time, and along with this, the country of England has been united in a way like no other, for the cause of supporting their country.
