Soccer Game

We've been waiting all summer to challenge our new Italian friends to a friendly game of soccer. Our chance finally came last Wednesday, as we all had a break from school. The game was on a small field right by the hostel, and it was a great day for it. We have a pretty good team, complete with a few players who take the sport to the next level and play for Mizzou, so we were really excited about playing against the Italians. All in all we held our own, scoring the first goal and remaining tied for a good half of the match. However, the final score wasn't in our favor, loosing 6-4. It was a great game, and the Italians were a little surprised as to how well we did. This Friday we have a real tournament planned, and I think they realized they are going to need to practice! Hopefully we can bring home a win for Mizzou!
