Later.....
but right now we have to go get ready because we're getting put to work so we'll tell you all about our kitchen duties later on tonight!3:30 pm rolled around and it was time for us to do kitchen stuff, there were 4 different stations we were put to work making water cups, spreading plates, giving rice, and also giving chicken soup. We’ve had a bunch of really good meals for the past couple of days. Tori, Jess,and Kiki were put together in the same place, while Shanna, Abby, and Sarah worked with other Fortuna girls. This was quite an experience for us but we got over the ugly white coats and got to work. After our work was done we scurried back to the cabin and got dressed for the parade. We decided we wanted to wear our red shirts and our new pants!
We stood on the side of the road where the parade began and waited while the alphabet got to U. We spotted our American flag and jumped into the parade. We joined many other American teams. Girls teams from Minnesota and South Carolina. Boys teams from Atlanta, Chicago, and New Orleans. We walked and cheered for our country throughout the city all the way to the stadium. When we entered the stadium we all began to try to get camera time when we were announced. It was awesome.
Finally we made our way onto the stadium field where we watched “The Dreams” in concert. We all got in a line and followed Abby as she weaseled her way to the very front. After fighting 10 yr old boys we finally got front row! We didn’t exactly know the words but we were obviously the biggest fans! They played two English songs, summer of 69, and I believe I can fly! They were crazy, it was so much fun! After jammin’ out at the concert we were very hungry! And what you know it?
No no, we didn’t have FRANKDAWGS! We had YUMMY YUMMY pizza! The best pizza we’ve had all trip! (duces)
Tuesday July 22, 2008
The DANA CUP begins. We woke and ate our cornflakes around 8:30 am and then headed to the fields on a bus for Fortuna 1 game. Amy, Jess, Sarah, Kiki, and Abby we the best cheerleaders in the whole park. We actually did a pyramid on the sideline! Here are the recaps of the games from Amy… We made her take notes J
Fortuna 1 vs Storid IL Norway (Tori & Shanna)
The game started out very slow with both teams having a few good chances in the first half. The halves are only 25 minutes long so the team struggled to get in a rhythm. The second half began with Shanna in goal and Tori on the left flank. About three minutes into the half a ball was played to Tori on the Left flank. She took a great first touch forward and beat not one, not two, but three people to get to the end line. She whipped a driven ball into the box and Mia hit a sliding volley out of the air for the games lone goal. Shanna was pretty bored back in goal, but did manage to make one great save.
Fortuna 1 Storid IL 0.
Fortuna 2 vs Byasen IL Norway (Kiki, Abby, Jess, Sarah)
All four ODP players started the game and played a significant role on the team. Fortuna came out on fire taking 5 shots on goal in the first 10 minutes. The first goal was scored by Deana on a 25 yard blast over the keepers head. Shortly after that goal Kiki came flying through the middle of the field and took the ball out of the air and headed it to her own feet. She then turned on the jets and blew by the back four and hit a bomb in the lower right corner to put Fortuna up 2-0. Jess (CB)and Sarah (OB) keep the back four organized and shut down Norway’s best player number 8. Abby controlled the midfield in the 2nd half and had a few chances herself.
The game ended Fortuna 2 Byasen IL 0.
