Today was a bit of a disappointing day as the girls were beaten by the USA, which means they are officially out of olympics :( but what an effort it was to get to the quarters! The feeling going around is if it was any other team they had to play they would of had a fighting chance. All of the girls were in high spirits after the game as we met them on the way out of the stadium. After the game we headed off towards the Harry potter train station of kings cross,...

It was my day to organize the activities so I choose to leave our apartment at noon. With all of these large crowds everywhere we go and the need to get to games on time, there is no doubt this part of the trip in London is starting to wear thin. This is why I choose the relaxing route, we took the bus to Greenwich and walked around the market for a while. Shelley got some directions for the best pub in town! It was a bit of a walk but it was worth it, I had bang...

Game day 5 for Canada, as they have already qualified for the quarters this game was really just to try to improve the team they will be playing.

They just couldn't get any closer and Australia pushed away again and when the buzzer went they were down. It is not ideal but now Canada will play Ame...

Today we decided to start using our 3 day London pass! We decided to head to St Paul's Cathedral first, it is an amazing place it was humongous the dome at the top is huge.

No photos in the cathedral so I could only get a couple of sneaky ones. Under the main floor i...

Today was game 4 day and really was a must win against brazil. The girls came out firing and made a handy lead of about 15 by halftime, but then brazil hit back they put a lot of pressure on Canada and eventually got a couple of points in front. But the cool heads of canada got them back in the game and by the final siren they had got several points in front! This is the first time Chelsea has beaten brazil so Canada has not beaten brazil for at least 10 years! T...
