In our 12th year, we bid a fond farewell to Mexico, as Honduras falls to the Americans… A big thanks goes out to Esdras (and all others who have stepped into tough positions) for helping keep the game moving with little interruption. On the other side of the world, the “small but proud” empire of China hangs on another year, as it was unclear just who was to take the last of his centers…
