The U-18 American expedition (March 17th to March 18th) that started today has safely arrived in Dallas, USA. Total travel time was 19 hours including transit, but the players immediately participated in pre-tournament practice upon arrival.
Despite the effects of jet lag and a long flight, I have prepared for the tournament starting tomorrow. I want to experience American food, climate, and the size of soccer facilities (FC Dallas has 17 soccer courts in their facility) while aiming for physical and mental growth along with the tournament. Tomorrow is the first match against PUMAS (Mexico). It will be an important game towards advancing to the qualifying league.
