World Cup Links

In his match against Poland this afternoon, Nicolai scored his eighth goal of this World Cup. It tied the score at 1-1 before the half. In the second half, the coaches gave our backup goalie a chance to play. While he made some amazing saves, he also committed a pair of rookie mistakes at the expense of two easy Polish goals. The entire team is rather banged up and bone tired with one more match to go on Sunday. Tomorrow they will have a much needed day off. Although he has seen little of Istanbul, Nico just wants to rest and take it easy.

Jeanine and Maya took a Turkish cooking class while Kyle worked from the hotel and did some solo touring. Alissa left for her return to the states. All watched the live stream while I attended the match in my capacity as the sports action photographer. Here are links to all of the media that is currently available.
