Covered all the Time

Sorry for so few posts lately, but worlds has kept us pretty busy. Time literally disappears on you out here between the games, finding chow, and all the great people we've been meeting. I'll try to post some more game descriptions later, but as anyone can see, we've had a run of a few tough loses. Unfortunately, many of the games have just come down to a lack of fundamentals. We will string together a series of great passes and then drop the disc in the endzone. That's really been the story of our tournament. We definitely have played along with teams, but they then are able to take advantage of our mistakes.

Today, we are going to try to turn that around and try to get some revenge on the Netherlands. Our bench has been shorten considerable due to some injuries in the last few days along with a couple of people having to leave. So it will definitely be a tough game, but we're hoping to recover and play one last day of beautiful ultimate.

Otherwise, we've been super busy. I'm hoping that we'll upload some pictures soon and let them do the talking! We've had a great time at the athlete's village last night and the SA jerseys sold like hotcakes (once again, a big thanks to Ryan L. and James). Mike was actually late showing up with the jerseys and we actually were holding pre-sales they were so popular! Last night, we had quite a fun time showing off the jerseys we had traded for. Most of us at least got one jersey from the Dominican Republic ('Domino'). We've had a great time cheering on those guys and I just feel bad that we weren't able to beat the Netherlands yesterday as that would have led to another game against them. It was a really fun, high spirited game along with them being just a great group of guys. Johnny managed to trade for a Swedish jersey, which may have been the score of the night as they weren't trading jerseys. Although, South Africa really had their picks as everyone wanted one of our jerseys.

Okay hopefully I'll have some more stories later in the day. One game left to go! I can't believe it's already almost over.
