We won 66-0!!! It was 51-0 at halftime, so we stopped throwing the ball and ran the same play over and over again in the second half. We have 6 running backs and 3 quarterbacks so they rotated in every play.
Our defense posted 3 shutouts! The combined scores of the three games was 201-0. It was fun to be a part of.
For the first night in over 2 weeks, I don't have a curfew or a schedule to follow. Tomorrow, I'm going to see the ship that sank on it's maiden voyage hundreds of years ago and was pulled out of the water recently. I'll have better details after I go see it. The team has reserved the ice bar for an hour tomorrow night. We'll be the only ones in there. According to my parents, that's about all that will fit anyway.
There is also the Red Bull build-something-that-will-help-you-fly-off-this-dock-after-a-running-start competition at noon tomorrow. I've seen it on TV and I think it would be fun to watch.

Day 16
I've not been great with posting photos because most of my posts are from a shared computer in the lobby, so I can't download pictures. So here's a few from the week:
Holly in McDonalds. We've visited here often. It's so light outside that you don't even realize it's nearing 10pm when real food closes, so we end up going to McDonald's for a cheeseburger or ice cream.
Here's the sky at night. Can you see the clock in the picture? It's kind of small, but it's almost 11pm. The dome at the end of the street is the Erickson Dome. A sports arena of some sort (probably for soccer).
A palace guard. They're not as serious as the London guards. This guy would look at me until I raised my camera. I took 3 pictures of him. He would watch me move or get closer, but as soon as I lifted my camera, he would look straight ahead. I thought it was kind of funny.
Here are three former Iowa Crush players who are all on Team USA. Rusty Sowers played for the Crush in 2006. She currently plays on the Kansas City Tribe as a wide receiver. Roseanna Smith played for the Crush in 2004. She currently plays for Atlanta Explosion as a center. And then me. I played on the Crush from 2008-2010.
Here are a few photos from our game against Finland.
Here are the highlights:

Here are the highlights from our first game. You can see me make a tackle around 2:15 into the clip:

The 5th place game is underway and we just got an update. Austria was up 12-0 when their safety intercepted a ball and ran the wrong way for a safety. So it's 12-2. How does that happen?
