Well my favorite team (Germany) is now officially out of the tournament. They won their game today but needed help and were doomed when Japan knocked off Spain. I am disappointed but this is mostly from the earlier game where Germany lost to Japan 2-1 after being up 1-0 at half (the same outcome in the Japan/Spain game today). After that earlier defeat and a later draw with Spain, Germany no longer had control of their own destiny and needed a favorable result from the Spain/Japan match that didn't happen. I now need to figure out who to root for in the tournament beyond the US team. (Answer -> US, Portugal and England). Hopefully it will continue to be exciting "football" with all of the games after tomorrow being "win or go home" games.
Germany is hosting the European Championships in 2 years and the World Cup will be in North America in 4 years so maybe the home field advantages will help going forward.
