Photo Shoot

As an annual Nike Friendlies tradition, the players in Residency lined up for a photo shoot and took updated headshots. It was quite a process getting 50 players through, but there was an apparent contest to see how much we could make the subject of every photo laugh. Maybe it took a little longer than necessary, but we had to make it fun.

Once we ran over our alloted time, the U-15 boys came in for their turn, and any sort of efficiency in the process was then completely gone. There was a lot of camaraderie between the teams... players coming from the same clubs or local areas, or familiar faces from previous National Team camps. We did get everything accomplished, it just took a little longer than expected.

Time to go rest up for tomorrow's games - check back for more inside info, and check out the '92s as they take on Russia live on Fox Soccer Channel at 3 p.m. ET.
