I was rooting for Japan in today’s earlier game. My husband and I met there when we were both in the Air Force.

We were next door neighbors in the BOQ (bachelor officers’ quarters) at Yokota Air Base outside of Tokyo.

Germany was playing Paraguay's game. And they barely made it to the round of 32.

In any European professional league. The Germans were robbed.
I cannot stand Almiron, but kudos to Paraguay.
I’m still sulking about Japan.
