2019 FIFA Women's World Cup #1

If you are a soccer fan, then you likely know already that France is hosting the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.  The month-long event includes games all over France, including Paris.  

Susan's sister Sally and husband Rob visited France during the first part of the tournament.  We attended two games here in Paris, including the U.S. victory over Chile.  The games are very exciting in person.

Before the U.S. v. Chile game, we attended the fan experience outside the stadium.   We had our photograph taken.

Plus, Rob, an avid soccer player and fan, tried one of the skill challenges.   Check out the video.  

Another great treat was the visit of friends Jillian and Lindsay from Orlando.  They are huge soccer fans and traveled all over France to see games.  They even appeared on BBC while attending a New Zealand game.  They were decked out in NZ gear, since they know the coach and follow the team.    

We met them at halftime during one game and they watched another televised match at our apartment.  It was great being together.

Thanks for enjoying the World Cup experience with us.
