Wyoming Cowgirl's with the squad from SC'T Zand after the match

By Jenny Johnson and Carmen Blume

Yesterday morning the team went on the PSV Stadium tour home of PSV indhoven of the dutch first divison. We got to see the business club seating, the locker rooms, conference rooms, the field and the lounges where the players hangout after their games. The tour lasted about an hour and we learned a lot about the stadium and it’s history. After the tour, we went to the PSV shop where they had the most colorful cleats we’ve ever seen. Once everyone had picked out what they wanted from the shop, we headed to Eindhoven. We were let free for 2 hours to grab lunch and shop. There were all types of shops, food places, and also some very interesting architecture. Once we all met up at the bus, we went back to the hotel for what I thought was a delicious dinner. We had cream of mushroom soup, chicken, french fries, and some veggies. We saved desert for later because after we ate we headed straight to our game against SC'T Zand. When we got to the fields everyone was staring at us and one boy asked “Where are you from?” and we replied “America” and he went on to say “Very bad, very bad.” Anyway, the facility was very nice and we played on a large turf field. The team we played were very technical and had some good oppurtunites to score, but we were able to pull off the 1-0 win on a goal by Kerstyn! After the game was over we took pictures with the other team and went into the pub at the facility. We arrived to a party and were quick to join in as our team formed a train and danced throughout the pub with the locals. We had a lot of fun and were sad to leave our new friends. We got on the bus and went back to our hotel for our dessert which was strawberry and vanilla ice cream topped with whip cream mmmmm… After everyone went to their separate rooms to shower and hit the sheets.

We slept in a bit today and hopped on the bus for the 2 hour trip to the boat that would take us from Hoek von Hollalad to Harwick, England! Cess our bus driver said we had become a part of his heart...Case our tour guide gave his hugs and we are getting on the ferry to England in a few minutes. Kickoff tomorow at 10:30 AM local time against Watford. Talk to everyone soon!
