Party

Yesterday I enjoyed my quarterfinal match between Germany and Norway and really had a great time with my crew during the game. Today we've already had a training session and soon we will have debriefing in order to review all four of the quarterfinal matches. At the end of the meeting, we will find out which referees have been appointed to remain at the tournament for the final two rounds of play. Since there are not as many games in these two rounds, many of the referees will be released and will be returning home tomorrow. While we do not yet know who will be released, we do know that tonight we will have a referee dinner and party. We are all looking forward to having an enjoyable evening together sharing our experiences from our last three weeks in Japan.
