Ciao...
Local time 11:30 pm. Another busy day for all. Match this am was against Italy (not Romania) as blogged last night.
The unfortunate result 4-0. Game much closer than the 2-0 loss yesterday regardless of final score. Similar ball possession as and shot count as Italians. We looked more like the US Velocity of old today. Inches from having our first goal from Eduardo who hit the inside of post and traveled across goal mouth.
Velocity fought hard til the very end. Italian team is a team formed of the best local players for the tournament.
Must win against Jordan and hope to sneak a point (tie) versus Romania to make it to round 1 playoffs.
Rest of day today spent swimming, buying 72 1-liter bottles of water, visiting old town Rimini (church, castle and bridge from the 15th Century) and some shopping (Foot Locker :)). Team dinner in Rimini outside with pizza, pasta and lasagna the top choices.
Back by 10p...many of the boys in bed and asleep before 10:30 curfew. A few started making calls home tonight with calling card. More tomorrow. Hope to get the boys to start blogging tomorrow.
2 matches tomorrow with a rest and some laundry in between. Tournament disco night tomorrow at 9:30p.
The team remains very positive and having a great time.
Coach Curr still needs more than 6 hrs sleep...good night!
