That Was a Close One...

After our bus used a police escort fit for a President to get TO the stadium yesterday, the ride home didn't go as smoothly. A few miles into our 25 minute ride back to the hotel, the power on the bus went out.... seconds later, the engine stopped running and everything shut completely off!

Seconds later, our driver got the engine running again to loud cheers... but they were quickly quieted after the engine failed to engage. As our driver and security guard started to come up with a Plan B, the engine finally turned over and we were back on our way.

The whole event took just minutes, but we were all starting to think what would happen if we were stuck on a bus with a USA sign minutes away from the stadium, right after we beat the host country....
