This afternoon we had a nice visit from Grant, a friend of Jon's from college. (hence the title of the blog, he-he) Also a fan of soccer, he watched the World Cup Women's Final (Japan vs. US) with us. This turned out to be a brilliant game, and I believe Jon and I are now interested in following Women's Soccer. The game is simply cleaner than when the men play - there's less faking of injuries and drama about bad calls. This game seemed to be two ridiculously good teams, with tremendous teamwork, playing a good game of soccer. They all fought hard for the victory, which Japan earned in penalty kicks, and played ferociously. The women handled themselves professionally both on and off the field. By the end of the game, I'd say the future of women's soccer - taken seriously- - is very bright.
Grant also will be taking a trip to France soon, and wanted to learn from Jon's expertise in this matter! Jon propped up a map on the door to our balcony, and I couldn't help but take a picture :o)
