Wednesday was the long anticipated soccer tournament between Portugal, the Czech Republic, and the United States. The Portuguese had two teams because of their size, both of which did very well; (they beat both the US and Czech teams). The last match of the day was between the USA and the Czech Republic. Jena Parker was the team coach, yelling out such inspirational phrases from "Remember the Titans" and "Miracle." That seemed to make up for our lack of experience. Despite scoring first, the US team let up two goals but made a dramatic comeback to tie the game, 2-2. Our fourth place finish resulted in cool Budweiser Budvar T-shirts and our place in 
history as the only USA team to tie a match. Video of one of the goals is on facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=12442914
Thursday was a travel day for most of our group. The vast majority took advantage of the long weekend to visit Rome. Other destinations include Istanbul and Dresden.
