Today we played Finland and while they were a pretty athletic group, the tactic of man marking that they used was disasterous for them. Good for us though. Once we got used to them chasing us all over the field it was just a matter of time before our tempo of possession and ball movement opened the game up. I was surprised that they stayed with that tactic throughout the whole match, even after it was clear they weren't nearly as fit or technical as we are. 7 - 0 was the result with their keeper putting in a courageous effort.
We play Canada on Sunday in the final group match and then we will play them on Tuesday for the final game since we both have won all of our matches. Should be quite interesting as they are much improved over 4 years ago and play a pretty direct, physical game.
They have been scouting us at each of our previous matches so I think I'll show them a different look and give them something to think about before the final.
We watched our U18 boys play Canada today and come out with a 1 - 1 draw, playing a man down to put them into the medal round.
After the boys game, some of the girls and I walked over to the shopping center next door for falafel. Some of the girls had McDonalds. Guess they needed a taste of home after being away for 3 weeks.
Tomorrow we are going to an event being held at the Cinema City and then the girls will be joining their families for Shabbat. Time for some recharging before we head into the battle with our neighbors to the north.
