A Sample of Night Before Game Activity

  • The coaching staff is sitting in the hotel lounge watching South Africa-New Zealand
  • Jay DeMerit and Conor Casey in the players lounge dueling in backgammon - not allowed to report who is winning
  • Brad Guzan reading news and sending e-mails back home
  • Landon Donovan swapping stories with the DS agent assigned to the team from the State Department
  • Several players rotating through in the training room getting massages

We were talking today about what the team does during a tournament. It sounds like the team mostly has to stay around the hotel. I guess a night in the Hatfield District, safari tour or canopy tour is out of the question because there is business to tend to. I hope the guys get a chance to hangout with the locals.

We would like to thank the US MNT for giving us fans the opportunity to enjoy this tournament and South Africa. By the way, we stayed in tonight and watched the games on TV.
