Freddy, the World Cup tourist from Germany, made it to the Boston area for his ultimate goal - Germany's game with Paraguay at Gillette Stadium. 
But before that game, he had a little weekend fun in Boston. 
Freddy and his buddy were invited to the TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) Slammiversary wrestling event with the Hardy Brothers. 
If you have been following along with Freddy's saga, you may recall that Chef Gordon Ramsey promised him a special treat if he made it to Boston. 
Ramsey helped set them up in a beautiful hotel in the center of Boston for two nights. 
And there was some very nice swag waiting, including cupcakes with Freddy's avatar (the face of Portugal soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo), a couple of Ramsey cookbooks, Red Sox gear, and the piece de resistance - a chef's jacket, welcoming him and signed by Ramsey. 
Then they were off to the Germany game on Monday. 
Freddy said he was worried about this game. 
Germany did not have a great first half, and Portugal scored the first goal. 
Then in the second half, Germany kept knocking on the door until finally they tied it up. 
They had possession most of the time. 
Then they went to stoppage time. 
In the first stoppage time, Germany scored a goal and thought they had it. 
But then the referees called it back in a heartbreaking moment for a foul on what was a controversial call. 
When there was no additional scoring in stoppage, they went to a penalty kick shootout to break the tie. 
Kai Havertz missed the first shot, and that put Germany in trouble. 
Then it went back and forth, in a nail-biter of a game, until finally Paraguay topped them in the last shot. 
So Paraguay advances on penalty kicks to the Round of 16. 
That was a huge upset. 
Turns out Freddy was right to be concerned, because that's it for Germany in the tournament. 
Freddy had been planning to go to Philadelphia if they won, a great place to be for America 250. 
He'll still be here for a bit, so he may still get there.
