Alas, the dream is over. South Korea lost to Germany in the semi-final. I wanted Germany to lose. I still want Germany to lose. After the Germans scored, the noise level in the stadium (in Seoul) went up even higher, and the commentator noted: "the fans crank the volume to 10." The first thing that popped into my head (given how enthusiastic Korean fans have been) was: "this one goes to 11."
