Our planes leaves from the Kansai airport in a couple hours. And it seems like forever since I've been home. I had this horrible craving for American food that was not quite satisfied after a japanese mcdonals's double cheese burger... We played our toughest game of the trip yesterday against a really good Kansai U-23 regional team who had some players from the Japan world team. They had been preparing for us for a good two months, and it was apparent from the opening whistle that they would not go down easily. We went up early 2-1 and never looked backed. Their goalie was a monster in the cage, probably around 6' 4"-reminded me of Oregon goalie Paul Swanson. I was able to sneak a low-to-low shot that has been going in for me all trip (i think most japanese goalies are pretty weak down low, or maybe i just have a good shot ;) ). We played the best we had all trip, and on the both sides of the ball we were out-hustling and out-muscling the Japanese despite their determination and hustle. I got another goal dodging the left alley, faking a throw back and then walking it in for the score. The final score was 11-2, a great end to our incredible trip. Brooks Korvin from army played another great game, and with 2 goals and an assist, was named player of the match.
I've got to run upstairs to meet the rest of the team, I will update more on the other side of the terminal...
