USA, USA, USA

We had the opportunity to watch the USA Women's Soccer team practice and play last week. They were in town for their final friendly match before heading to the Olympics. They held an open practice session the day before their match, so we decided to go and watch. It was very cool to watch the players practice and sign autographs for the fans.

During the practice, some fans were interviewed in front of us. We are briefly seen in the background during the interview. To see us in the background of the interview, click here
Kelley O'Hara coming over to sign shirts. She was very cool and climbed over the railing to get to other fans.

The following day, we watched the women beat Canada 2-1. We found out-at the entry-that we couldn't bring in cameras with a detachable lens :(, so the only pictures we got were with Keith's phone. 
Julie and Nicole are ready to go in their USA shirts.
