Have you read Death of a Moth by Virginia Woolf?
It’s Woolf’s depiction of a moth as she watches it going through its death throes. A moment which is, on one hand, mesmerising and tragic, and yet so boring and mundane.
And that’s what I thought of at the end of the Euro 2016 Final between Portugal and France. A match that immortalised by a single shot of the greatest player in the world sobbing on the turf as a moth lands on his nose to see what all the fuss was about.
