7th or 8th. boo

Its hard to express the disapointment our team feels after tying the game against Great Britain. That puts us in a position to play for the 7th or 8th place spot in the tournament. Our goal coming into the olympics was not to be in the position that we are in now. Unfortunately, its sport and thats what happens. After the game our coach said to us "Sometimes you do everything right in a game, and you still don't win." And as much as it sucks to hear, its true. We dominated and ran all over the british team for almost the whole 70 minutes and we could not find a way to score. So tomorrow this team will be facing Spain for the placement match an it will be the last time that this team takes the field all together :( 

 All around the village right now there are feelings of heartbreak all around. Of course there are celebrations and wonderful things happening, but you can definitely feel the heaviness of the people who didn't fulfill their dreams. As much excitement as there was to be an olympian its as much disapointment we are feeling now for not gaining the result we desired. Our goal tomorrow is to finish this tournament with everything that we have to offer and to come out with a win. so our one last hurrah...
