International Football Festival Day 3

Today, the pitches were dry enough to play on so the boys had scheduled games at 12:30PM & 2:30PM. Their first match was against Isle of Man, a self-governing island off the northwest coast of England. This nail-biter of a game went back and forth all game. Just when the Trojans thought they had the game in hand, Isle of Man's offense kicked in with a last minute goal to defeat the Chicago boys 1-0. Not to be mentally defeated, the Downer's Grove squad took a short rest before their next match at 2:30PM against Altrincham. While the Trojans gave it their best, Altrincham was just too tough, finishing off our team 3-0. With their heads hanging low, they headed back to the hotel to clean up and get ready for dinner. After dinner, they had the choice to go back to Trafford Centre or stay at the hotel. Needless to say, the blonde Norweigan girls won their vote to stay at the hotel and we had a relaxing night in.
