Peace, Out

To put it simply, the Peace Queen Cup rocks. We'd be hard pressed to find anything at this tournament that wasn't done in a first class manner. The hotel was phenomenal (we could write a whole post on just the food alone - delicious!), the transportation excellent, the security perfect, the stadiums excellent, the game logistics World Cup-like, the opening and closing ceremonies were glamorous and well produced. The games were extremely competitive and played at a high level, the refereeing was excellent and the fans had a lot of fun. Everyone the U.S. team came in contact with was extremely friendly, helpful and gracious and the theme of tournament, Peace, well, that says it all. You can understand why the 2002 FIFA World Cup was such a success. (We could go on...great shopping, fun excursions, great weather, major prize money, etc., but we'll stop as we have to catch a plane back to the USA). So, A+'s all around for the 2008 Peace Queen Cup, all the organizers, staff and volunteers. Thanks for two great, fun-filled weeks in South Korea and hopefully we shall all meet again. From Seoul...Peace, Out.

Congratulations ladies on the win again! I just knew that we would just win this already! Now for the Olympics and I'm very sure the team will do well and deliver the gold!

The fans want to throw a big old USA high five to Peace Queen Cup organizers as well. Their website was great and easy to navigate. The great photos (which were uploaded within minutes of completion of the matches), the great videos of all the teams, and the airing of all the games on Pandora were all AWESOME. Heck they even posted the tv schedule for us after we asked them which was really helpful. They should be the standard for "how to run a soccer tournament".

congrats on the win!!! everyone knew you were going to win!!

i think that the wnt should visit decatur, Al's jack allen soccer fields and do a camp there. i went to the game in birmingham it was great. thanks for the autographs. the only thing is i had to wait four years to go see you play again. you need to visit the southeast more often. i would really appreciate it if you would try.
