World Cup 2018!

I'm glad the US didn't qualify because... (1) The US isn't about soccer; here, it's just a latter-day thing for PC parents to enroll their kids in; and (2) I want to root for some deep-down tribal stuff from my "heimat" that actually KNOWS soccer: Deutschland Uber Alles!

That said, World Cup Season is fun --- I work with a lot of people from different places around the globe, and I look forward to good-naturedly arguing with them about the upcoming events! :)  I just put up a "Deutschland Fussball" sign on my office door, hoping to spark some World Cup conversation!
