Not everyone has great ideas all the time. That is simply too much to ask. For his genius in science, art, and engineering, DaVinci was a chronic procrastinator. The Spaniards likewise slept a siesta of a first half – but finally awoke to banish Belguim with inventive build-up play. Cuidado – la furia roja is [...]
