At the banquet all the Ambassadors were treated to a visit from Henrik Larrson, a famous Swedish soccer player and current captain of the Swedish national team.  Henrik Larsson took a few questions then posed for photos from each team.  He is on crutches due to an injury he suffered in the game the Ambassadors attended on the first day they were in Sweden.

After the banquet all the Ambassadors teams were gathered up for one final photo sessions on the steps to the castle gate.

It was unfortunate that the Stars and Stripes played all of their games at the same times but on different fields.  The Stripes were able to cheer on their teammates from the Stars only in their final game after the Stripes had been eliminated.  Coach Rob actually had to talk the bus driver and tournament director into allowing the Stripes to come watch the Stars’ game!  They wanted to take the Stripes back to the hotel.

I am sure you are wondering if they did anything besides play soccer!

I have some pictures of the girls from around town and also got some pictures from Cathy from their epic travel adventure getting to Copenhagen that I will try and post in the next day or so.  Also keep checking back for some bonus material of the parents that has been collected from various cameras.  Some of it is pretty funny.

The Stripes had a tougher time, showing signs of jet lag and falling to Husie IF in their first game 2-0.  A completely different Stripes team showed up for their second game against Skärblacka IF which the Stripes dominated and won 6-0.

You can find more results information on the tournament web site.  The results seem to get updated about two hours after the games are complete.  The results of the first three games are under the “Girl Groups” section (select Girls 12), the second round and all of Sunday’s games are under “Playoffs Girls”.

The groups traveling through Atlanta  had the easiest time – no weather in Atlanta although they did have a delay due to President Obama and Air Force One being there which meant nothing else happens until the President is done.  Sophia and I and missed our connection to London at JFK and ended up having to go to Newark to catch the red-eye to Copenhagen.  It actually worked out ok for us, we ended up being the first ones here!

It was raining as we left Copenhagen but now that we’re in Helsingborg, the sun is out although it is rather windy.
