The United States Women's National Soccer team played the Swedish National team in Glendale, Arizona today. I worked for months trying to organize a trip through the school so that I could take several of my soccer players down to watch. Once the trip got approved, 15 girls jumped at the chance and I got to take them to this once in a lifetime opportunity. What made this opportunity even more exciting was two-fold. The United States lost to them 2-1 during the 2011 Women's World cup this summer, and we have an exchange student from Sweden!!!
