First game was a 2-0 victory!

Our first game of the tournament was against a team from Solerno, Italy.  They were 15 and 16 years old.  Each of our girls gave the Italian team a t-shirt from our soccer club.  They gave us a 10 pound plaque and a bottle of champagne!  Yes, you read it correctly.  They seriously gave 13 and 14 year old girls alcohol as a gift.  Apparently, there is no drinking age.  However, we parents have no problem drinking the champagne to celebrate the victory!
Our next game is tommorow at 1:00.  The parents are going to a flea market before the game, then walking to the stadium a half mile away.  The team is riding bus solo with coach Richard to appear at game.  The opening ceremonies begin at 2:30.  I've heard it's one of those moments you never forget, representing the USA and being proud to be from America.
I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
