Day 9 - Preparing for USA vs Israel

This morning we play our final group stage game against the Israeli side before the semi-final matches on Sunday afternoon.  The Israeli team has already qualified in second place and we sit in fourth place. They are a very good team of skillful passers and have scored timely goals when they needed to. We are still licking our wounds after getting schooled yesterday against the superior Brazilian squad. Hopefully, we can bring our A game to the field and perhaps the two-touch possession game that coach Lenny is searching for will show up today. Unfortunately, the injury bug is starting to take its toll as we play our fourth game in five days. On the other hand, I am ready to go as I was sidelined for yesterday's game. I will do my best today to stay out of the referee's book as I must play in our key semi-final game on Sunday. The weather today is cloudy and not too hot yet.  It is expected to get hot, sunny and humid by game time. GO USA!!!
