The morning started with a game with the team from Luciano's old professional club. Both groups of boys played against them and both lost. They truly got to see what a "Soccer Club" was all about! These boys are professionally trained and groomed to be sold to soccer clubs such as Barcelona, Real Madrid etc. It is their means of getting out of their enviromnt with the hopes of bigger & better things. From their warm ups to their play there was a major difference in what the US does & what this team does. Both teams lost big - 11-0 & 9-0.
We then went to the game. All I can say is wow! The stadium was packed just like Raymond James is packed for football. Sodas & bagels were sold in the stadiun as well as empanadas & steaks shish ke bobs.
The pictures tell the story.
We're close to the end of the trip. Tomorrow we leave at 6:00 AM for a plane ride to the Falls, 7 then the boys play that night. Some boys are coming down with scratching throats, the sniffles &
achy body. My son was down for the count today & spent the entire day in bed. I think almost everyone is ready to go home.
I probably will not post anything else until after our return. I hope you enjoyed a brief synopsis of our trip and knew that your boys were well.
See you in 2 days....
