He was probably crying because he knows the Iranian government is going to execute his family now.

Yup. In a past life I worked with many Iranians. Such nice and generous people.

Not quite related, but this reminded me of an Iraqi guy I worked with years ago. He got along with everyone, and his joke when meeting someone new was to ask if they wanted to see a picture of his brother. If they said yes, he’d pull out an Iraqi dinar note like this one:

"I cannot figure out how this man hasn't scored yet!"

Wild games this afternoon.

 

[ter1413]

Germany with the comeback!

Germany with the comeback!

Fun to watch but futile unless Spain ties. Japan about to win there.

 

[smittycl]

Wow, Japan wins the Group! Spain advances.

 

[Fueco]

Auf wiedersehen, Deutschland.

 

[ter1413]

Wow, Japan wins the Group! Spain advances.

They are playing well. beat both Germany & Spain!

 

[Adsky Luck]

Spain dumped Germany on purpose.

As a small aside Kanukistan failed to win a single game*. Why did they bother to come? Them and Qatar are in a league of their own. And it's not a major league.

*ETA: not only that, they actually failed to not lose a single game
