Meet my colleague Alberto from Paraguay. He's a brave man, wearing his national team's jersey in the office of a Swedish company. World Cup games are on from 9 to 5 local time. The TV in our break room that used to be tuned to the business channels, is now showing ESPN. Here's Alberto watching his team go down in the 88th minute against Sweden. He will have to hear about that defeat for a long time.
Other than Paraguay, Sweden, USA and the Netherlands, our office has nationals from world cup contenders Argentina, Trinidad, Costa Rica, Mexico, England, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Australia. You can imagine the world cup is talked about a lot more than the NBA Finals these days.
