Who knew the U21 National Women's soccer teams would compete in AL?? Definitely not us, so we took advantage of it and went to see Canada and the US play in the Birm on Sunday {and also spent a few moments catching up quickly with our good friends Mark & Lori - love you guys!}
So much fun! Canada won against Mexico 1-0 and the US won against China 2-0. The Mexican fans were in full force complete with drums, cymbals, air horns, bugles, and megaphones. It was awesome to be a part of a crowd that was excited about soccer! True, they were cheering for the wrong team, but awesome none-the-less. {Come on people, it IS the world's most popular sport...}
And to top it all off, the Canadian team came and played Argentina here in Montgomery last night (tied 1-1). Brett now wants to go to Mobile to watch the playoffs this weekend. Apparently we are touring the state of AL along with the Canadian girls.
We also got to meet the parents of the centre defense for Canada, the Tancredi's. They were so sweet {they got the team to sign Brett's shirt for him, and gave us all the info on the players}, and it was nice to have people to cheer with for Canada in Legions field. Before they got there it was basically Brett and I in a sea of green, white, and red!
