As of press time, the Czech Republic put up some surprisingly huge numbers on Germany and avoids elimination -- I think this is their first Qualifier win. Unfortunately our beloved Donald Lutz and team Germany have to go home. We are waiting on Mexico v. Nicaragua in the winner's bracket.
But this post isn't really about the Great Blandino and Team Nicaragua -- it's about the other qualifier going on right now - Pool 3, which has a slightly different arrangement of European and Latin American teams.This one is being played in Panama, in Rod Carew stadium. It's also called Estadio Nacional de Panama, but that's less fun.
