With Kari out being a 4th official in Cardiff and Mark traveling to his next 4th official assignment, the 3 assistants from the US (me, VP, and Sean) took the opportunity to watch the first international women's match to be played at Wembley Stadium, Great Britain versus Brazil. Fortunately for me and VP, Sean was there the night before and had already scoped out some of the cool historic things in the stadium like the cross bar he mentioned in his last post.
The energy in the stadium was electric and when Great Britain scored, the roar from the home crowd was amazing. Apparently this was the largest crowd to ever watch a women's football match in England and it was definitely unbelievable.
The next round of appointments comes out today. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
