Canada’s football run is done! Canada falls to the Germans - the game was a pleasure to watch; there were strong plays on both sides - but in penalty kicks, the Germans came out with the win.
What a story! It’s not a Cinderella story exactly - Cinderella didn’t have a drone; it was a pumpkin and she was home by midnight folks - but it felt that way. In any case, it’s been a thrill watching these players pull together and bring out the best in themselves, on and off the pitch.

They fought valiantly and I really feel for them… two of them are current Chelsea players so I see them play often. Lawrence is a warrior in open play, but her penalty was weak. Fleming should have been on the pitch still to take the first pen, but I think she was struggling with a niggle. Sad after all they have been through. The Germans have already been beaten by the USA 4-1 in group stage so I am disappointed to not see an America Vs Canada semi.
I hope you get a decent coach next and that the federation looks into this drone business as I’ve read that it’s a thing with the men’s team too… Why you would scout a NZ team training before a GROUP match I’ve no idea, bonkers.
They deserve proper funding and for all the noise to go away, the team should matter more than they have so far. I vote Casey Stoney for Canada coach. Wishing them well, a great group of people who fought so hard despite it all

That was a thrilling race! What an event: dramatic, best runners in the world 
Alfred ran brilliantly - a perfect run, right out of the blocks, no doubt about it. (Must be something in the food out there in the Caribbean. I gotta see if I can work something in to improve my own running times )

I guess the USA didn’t select their strongest basketball players to compete in the 3X3 competition but still nice (and shocking) to see them slaughtered (I don’t have any other words for it) 21-6 by the boys in Orange who are now up against Lithuania (are you watching @zzz?) in the final four in a couple of hours.

Go Dutch team! Woohoo!
I think it’s good for Americans to lose at basketball now and again. Keeps them humble

I plan to watch the recaps of the track and field from yesterday when we get home from the vet. I only got to watch a little yesterday. A lot of events are going to happen today. I’m excited

These track and field events are pretty amazing to watch. They’re so focused: it’s a run, or it’s a hammer throw, or a jump, etc. I find that exciting to watch: the measure is very clear.
