In a math class long after my Lunada Bay Elementary School graduation, I learned that for all intents and purposes, the concept of infinity is not functional. So instead of trying to reach infinity, mathematicians describe what the value is approaching: a limit. With limits, the end point becomes irrelevant and the focus falls on the direction you are moving.

The World Cup is the limit. And we’re moving forward.

One of the best reads on Players' Tribune by none other that the awesome Christen Press. If you haven't started reading the PT, I highly suggest you do. Awesome insight and better material than the usual media outlets.
