Friday July 17

So yesterday was yesterday...today is what matters. We have an early morning game vs the 4th seeded team in the tournament Finland.

Let me just tell you this....we can't advance unless we win and the Mexico / Guatemala game ends in a tie. Well...we went into the game with nothing to lose. Finland has to win to advance so this game means everything to them. Well we just wanted it more I guess. At the end of the game the score was 9-3 in our favor.

Every was telling us how big a win that was for our side. The australians told us that the team for finland was mostly made of the guys from the last maccabiah games. This was the 4th best team going into this tournament and they have played together for years. The cool thing is we didn't just beat them...we killed them. So after the game we celebrated...and what's the best way to celebrate a win against finland? With multiple bottles of finlandia vodka. Kind of funny ...right.

After that game we have nothing to do but hang out at the beach and the pool...meet new people and party like a rock star.

We are having problems with the internet at the hotel so I am posting this from my phone. I will try to work everything out so we can continue updating the blogg but if its not you understand why. Hope everyone back home is doing well...we will see you soon.
