Ghost of Slave Labor, or, Your Japan World Cup Preview

Oh good, we're off to the races with a Ghost of Tsushima joke. Which, after hearing about the premise and reading the history, I can tell you with certainty after watching Senorita Weaselo play about 3 hours and then getting sidetracked with another game (twice), ends in the original definition

Previa de la Copa del Mundo: Los Ticos – Un pequeño pez en un gran estanque.
