Day 8 - Game Two - USA vs. England

ENGLAND 3 - USA 0 Today we played an even better game than we did in our first game. The game was played mostly between the 18's and was a physical defensive battle. Each team created only a few scoring opportunities. The unfortunate part was that England converted all three of its chances as their #12 scored all three goals. We were unable to convert ours. It's a game of inches and thats how the ball sometimes rolls. Argentina on Friday and Brazil on Sunday.

Dave P. sustained an injury in this game. I did a consult after the game and would have treated him had I been equiped. He bit through his tongue and required a stitch that was done at a local hospital.

#13 for GB, Danny, hurt us a few times in the game by setting up #12 for 2 of his goals.

Parading out to the field. What a thrill to be playing against GB, my birth country.

The procession onto the field.

After the warm-up, we headed over to the side of the pitch to prepare for the pregame procession and exchange of banners.
