Episode 3592: Hunters Of Impossible Utopias, Germans Lose On Penos, Dutch Sit Back And Find Out, Casemiro MOTM
No matter what the 4th of July brings, Gustavo Alfaro and his players have secured for themselves a page in Paraguay’s history.
Ken and Branno were in Boston to bear witness to a heroic display of defensive Paraguayan stubbornness against a German team lacking in intensity and assailed on all sides by the Ghosts of Germany Past.
We also spoke to Ken after Brazil knocked out Japan as Casemiro had a personal rollercoaster of a game.
And we finish up the night with our men in the field taking in Netherlands v Morocco from a Boston Bar. They are doing this for YOU!
