Penalty kicks are a cruel mistress for the Vikings here at the Gothia Cup. In what seemed like deja vu all over again (my apologies to Yogi Berra), we lost our first playoff game on the 6th pk - very much reminiscent of 2007. We played well today and tied 0-0 in regulation, but the girls can definitely use a few days off to recover. They have tired legs, but their spirits are high. We are hoping to get a friendly in before we leave, but nothing is set yet. Tonight we will be watching a professional soccer game and sometime over the next couple of days we will be taking that canal tour of Gothenburg.
I think the team will be taking a lot with them from this trip, especially away from the soccer pitch. With out a doubt, we are having a successful adventure. I have always said from the beginning that I don't care if we win every game 9-0 or lose every game 0-9, the key is to have fun, play well, and experience all this trip has to offer. They are definitely taking advantage of that.
Until next time...
