Tough loss to Ivory Coast

The US suffered a tough loss to the Ivory Coast 1-0 on Friday with the only goal coming from a penalty kick late in the game. The US goalkeeper, Chris Seitz, played a fantastic game and came up with great save after great save. He kept the US in the game the whole time with his high pressure saves. Today will be a light day with an easy practice so as to give the guys as much rest as possible before the match vs. Italy tomorrow night. A win vs. Italy would allow us to end the tournament on a high note. Most players and staff will head home or to their respective teams on Monday or Tuesday. We will do some sightseeing this morning or this afternoon if at all possible. There are some great outdoor markets offering food, linens, exotic fabrics, etc...
