Day 14

Game Day!!

Let me be the first to say happy birthday to Matt.  I know I'm the first because I'm 7 hours ahead of you.  I hope you have a wonderful day.  And another happy birthday to my niece, Allison.  She's 1 today! =)

Here's a photo of Holly in front of the compound:

I've actually grown to like the hotel when I'm not in our room.  The food is good and they have a nice patio.  I'm glad that we're not in the dorms with the other teams because they are over 20 minutes away and not close to anything.  We can walk a few blocks for food, groceries, the bus, subway and the field.  It's really nice.

This morning we take pictures on the field and then have a walk through.  We play at 6pm, which is 11am for most of you.  I'll let you know how it goes.

WE WON!!!  Final score was USA 72,  Finland 0.  The Championship Gold Medal game is Saturday at noon central time against Canada.  They beat Germany today 20-12.  So here's a run down of what's happened:

USA 63, Austria 0

Canada 12, Sweden 6

Finland 50, Austria 16

Germany 14, Sweden 0

Canada 20, Germany 12

USA 72, Finland 0

For 5th: Sweden vs Austria

For Bronze: Germany vs Finland

For Gold: USA vs Canada

I played well today.  I had two good punts and I knocked down a pass on the sidelines.  Finland had a lot of 3 and outs.  I was hoping they would pass more, but they did a lot of running in the second half (probably to run the clock out).

ONE MORE GAME!!!
