Today, team USA competed in the 4v4 tournament and a penalty kick shootout competition placing second and first respectively. We played 6 qualification matches followed by the finals. Matches are 14 minutes each with the finals being 20 minutes. In theory, it is like playing a full match plus overtime. In reality, it is much more grueling because the intensity of play is so much higher. We were all fully spent by the end of the tournament and then it was time for the penalty kick shoot-out competition. Each team had a total of ten PKs (5 taken yesterday and 5 taken today). The team with the highest total of goals wins. I was the fourth taker today and a goal from me would win the competition for team USA. Happily, I found the right side of the net with the keeper moving to the left. A goal earlier in the day brought my total to 4 and I will go to sleep tonight easily and with a big smile on my face.
