I was sorry to see our girls have to pack and go home. Time now to practise for next time. They're a young team, so they have a lot more to learn. Thanks for cheering for them. Your team did a super job. Congratulations! ⚽️🇺🇸 Stopped myself from sending you a message yesterday afternoon - didn't want to do a spoiler. Sorry you can't watch it as a game. 😔

Watched the games at intervals. We were laying a riverstone path in the garden. Groan!😥

Barry was taught soccer almost as soon as he could walk. Both his grandfather and an uncle were professionals in England. He still has his first pair of soccer shoes from his championship game as a child. He taught phys. ed. for many years and played a number of sports. (Then he married a book nerd who can barely cross the kichen floor without tripping. 🤕 Go figure.)

Now we rest up from tv for a while until July 6 - Tour de France time. 🚲🚲
