A Disappointing Result
7:00 am we woke up for an early team swim. After 10 minutes in the pool we got out for the warmth of the showers and then headed to breakfast.
One hour later at 8:30 am we left the hotel to head to the field for our 10:00 o’clock game starts.
We started the game off sloppy allowing Argentina to score 2 quick goals but we dominated the next 25 minutes and scored 1 goal. Just before the end of the first half we got unlucky and lost the ball resulting in another goal.
The second half was tight but they scored 1 more and we lost the game 4-1. It was a disappointing ride back to the hotel.
After the game the team had lunch and ice baths.
The next few hours the team had some free time and sat around.
Finally after dinner the team had a meeting and talked about the nexts game strategy. After the meeting the team was confident about the US game.
