In between

We're in between matches right now.  After a good lunch, the boys were sent to their hotel rooms for rest time.  They need it!  A boy is stretched out on every bed space in our room and the World Cup pre-match show is on.  It's nice and cool.  Good resting going on here.

The morning match was a nail biter.  We played a big, tough team from Waco, Texas, but our North Carolina boys bested them, 2-1!   This afternoon we play the other NC team in the tournament. They got in as a wild card team on points because the Mississippi U-15 team was disqualified for having an overage player.  That's a big no-no!  Anyway, we tied this NC team in the regular season and then beat them in PK's to win the state championship.  So, they are eager to beat our FCCA boys, you can be sure.   I expect a pretty tough game.

Let ya know later...
