Why China..Why Now..

I thought I should give everyone out there who doesnt know me, a little background info on why I am going to China for the World Cup...I guess the biggest reason is that one of my best friends from high school Leslie Osborne #12 is actually on the Women's National Soccer Team (GO OZZY)...So she invited me and my dad to head over and support the Team in China..Joining us on our little adventure are Heather, Erica and Ethel Sorgatz...Heather and I played with Leslie back in the day on our club team Eclipse. We will be traveling with the friend and family group that US Soccer as set up, so look for posts that include everything from the Great Wall to Team Receptions...Through Leslie I have gotten to meet a number of the players on the team so I am extremely excited to get to go over and cheer them on to victory on the world's greatest stage for soccer players. Leslie has fought extremely hard to get to the World Cup and we are all so proud of her...Team Osborne as we are calling ourselves, leaves for China September 21, 2007 at 10:30am..We hope to catch the quarterfinal game on the 22nd, the semis on the 27th and then cheer the team onto World Cup Victory on the 30th..Stay tuned for posts as we all prepare for this amazing trip..
