Nike Friendlies Week!

Well... It's Wednesday of Nike Friendlies week here in Bradenton, and we can all tell that things are gearing up for a big weekend. There are signs being put around Field 1... scaffolding is being put up for the TV cameras, U.S. Soccer staff has taken over the facility.

One of the great aspects of the Nike Friendlies is having other Youth National Teams around campus. Today on the fields next to us were the Under-15 boys, who will be split into two teams this weekend. It's always nice to feel a sense of community among the different National Teams, and this weekend is a great opportunity for all of us to be a part of it.

The weather is perfect today, and is supposed to stay like this all weekend. Hopefully that will add to the great atmosphere of the weekend.
