Game 2 & 3, and Soccer Player Adrien Silva!
Game 2 against Academica was an amazing game. The boys came out to play, and did they ever! The score of 3-1 does not show the tremendous effort that they made in the game. This time they walked onto the field with the Canadian flag, a very proud moment for the team.
Game 3 once again showcased the teams talent with coaches and parents so pleased with the teams effort. Final score 3-1 ( a trend?) Tonight we return to the stadium for the closing ceremonies. The atmosphere and the warmth that is displayed to our team by the organizers and Joe's family certainly supersedes any disappointment the children may feel in the results of their games. Carlos and Casimira, Joe's brother and sister-in -law, Joe's parents and others have been with us each day and attended each game. They had a barbque for the boys where famous soccer player and sponsor of the tournament Adrien Silva joined us. Needless to say this has been a highlight for the boys and they will be returning with stories and photos.........the mom's and dad's will be too!

Day 5 & 6 - Opening Ceremonies and Game 1
Day 5 - Opening Ceremonies had an amazing atmosphere. Bands were playing, the team was very excited.....afterwards we had a beautiful barbque at Joe's parents house. Joe's parents and brother & sister-in-law cooked an amazing meal with some local dishes, one included rice made with chickens blood. The boys enjoyed Vova & Vovo's beautiful home where they once again picked fresh oranges, lemons and peaches and played hide and go seek on the beautiful farm property just below the mountains.
Today began with an early start for the boys to prepare for the game. The other team was called Paco ????? they were very big 13 year olds and they won the game with a score of 3-1. Our boys played well with so much heart!!! They had even scored another goal but it was called offside. The goal that counted was scored by Robert Tamale, we were all cheering and so happy to see them play! At the end of each game there are penalty kicks and we tied the team with Evan making some great saves. Now for the photos....Enjoy
