Day Off! (To pack)

The U.S. team will have its final day off tomorrow before leaving for China on Sunday. It’s a last chance for the players to buy their favorite shampoos, collect their favorite snacks, use up as many cell phone minutes as possible, stock up on books and magazines and make some final, gut-wrenching decisions on which clothes to bring. Stylish or sporty? Practical or pretty? How many pairs of jeans does a player need during a World Cup? The over-under is maybe just one, but no more than two. How many different pairs of shoes? Four or five at least? But those are easy to pack. This much we know: pack light and don’t bother with too many warm clothes. It was in the high 80s in Shanghai yesterday. Or is that today? Well, either way it’s was hot. Darn hot.

No news on Abby's toe? Jammed or broken? We worry.

Oh no for the hot weather, at least it's "easy" packing! Good luck, ladies and all the best!
