On a Saturday afternoon in Lisbon, a 25-year-old footballer named Quevin Castro collapsed during a friendly match and did not recover. His death, confirmed by Sunday morning, reminds us how suddenly a life in full motion can cease — a young man who had crossed countries and clubs in pursuit of his calling, gone before that pursuit could reach its fullness. Football, from the Portuguese third tier to the English Championship, paused to acknowledge what had been lost.
