Pumped and ready





Azalea were pumped this morning and had a good day at the fields. After the first day team Joy and Passion top the standings both in the Trophy and the Medal flight, look here!













Joy scored ten times even: Minneapolis United Rave 2-0 and Champlin Rebels 8-0. The temperature was raising beyond mercy (97 degrees F). That didn't stop the girls from fighting through the whole morning game but some of the Joy girls had to pass next game to cool down.



We get incredible support from the host families and the guest player's parents. Tents, transports, coolers, towels, snacks... and assistance whenever a problem arises. We wouldn't manage without you, that's for sure!







The defenders in Joy made the afternoon game boring for keeper Elvira. Isabelle and Ylva both scored twice and Sofia once. The American girls are a great reinforcement for the team. Julianna, Marinna and Lizzie all scored. Lizzie set the final result, a header goal on a beautiful cross from Sofia. Ebba Viklund's nice number nine was ruled offside.



Team Passion managed an honorable tie 0-0 against Wayzata Inferno, one of the top six ranked team in Minnesota (a state with a population of 5 millions). Passion had a chock start, keeper and captain Agnes was still affected from her previous heat stroke and not allowed to play. Irma replaced phenomenally! Photos from this game will be posted later.
