The opening ceremonies were truly amazing. We were with 5 other teams from America walking in. The ceremonies began with a parade through the city and then ending by walking into the stadium. The girls got some great pictures and interacted with people from all over the world. A Ugandan team was in front of us and their consistent playing of the drums and their dancing kept a lively beat for the parade. Pictures were taken with teams from Scotland, Philippines, South Africa, Venezuela, Germany, and several other countries. This was an experience that nobody will soon forget.
Our first game at the Dana Cup was early - a 7:30 a.m. kickoff. A questionable handball in the box led to a PK goal for the Norwegians and a 0-1 loss for your Vikings. Despite the early start, we played well and I am sure we'll breakthrough soon. The girls are getting frustrated, as they are at a loss as to why we can't seem to put teams away when given the opportunity. Our second game is later today at 1:30 and I hope that this will be THE one. Only time will tell.
Until next time...
