The hall of the WNT's floor at the team hotel was vacant quite early this evening. With the opening the of Olympics tomorrow, the players retired to their rooms for some quiet time and a good night's sleep. The team had its standard pre-game meeting tonight after dinner and all systems are go for the match against Norway tomorrow. As often happens on days that feature night games, the team will do a lot of eating and hydrating tomorrow. Breakfast is 9-10 a.m., lunch is at 1 p.m. and the pre-game meal is at 4 p.m. The squad leaves for the stadium about two hours before the match (it often takes some time to get into a stadium on game day, even with the police escort) and then the countdown to kickoff begins. The mood of the team? Excited? For sure. Full of anticipation? Of course. Perhaps a bit of nerves too, but that's natural. Overall, the players are just really ready to get this Olympic party started. Whether you are in China, or watching on TV at home, thanks for being a part of it. Tuesday, August 5, 2008
And they slept...

Thanks for the blogs. It is cool to see what the team is doing while not playing games. Just come out blastin in your first game. Scare everyone to death with your massive knuckleballs into the netting from the 2nd third of the field. Play with heart and never give up. God bless you guys. - Derek
