World Cup





Saturday morning before the USA vs. England World Cup game, Kevin's work people got together for a friendly World Cup game of their own. His job involves a partnership with an England shipyard, so this was a legit USA vs England match!! The sidelines were filled with fans and the sun was just barely hidden by some clouds.
Halftime England 1 - USA 0.
Kevin stepped it up a couple notches in the second half and scored the only US goal of the game to tie things up :) It then went into pentaly kicks to decide the winner. Again Kevin scored which contributed to a USA VICTORY!!!!
Before we left England last November Kevins co-workers got Logan an England jersey & although we were definitely rooting for USA during yesterdays games we couldn't think of a better time to put him in his England "kit".
After the work game we met up with all the players and families at a bar in Groton to watch the real World Cup game. Oddly enough the result at the end of regulation was 1 -1, a draw. It's too early in the tournament for a penalty shoot out, but I'm sure the USA would have won!!

  1. Man, is Logan going to be determined sportsman or what!?!?! I'm glad that USA (you guys) won and that Kevin was the one that made the shot.....
    Logan is lookin' pretty cool in his jersey. All this outdoors stuff should make Logan sleepy,eh?
