We arrived in Phoenix early this morning - our flight was very full which made for a fairly uncomfortable flight for the boys. We grabbed breakfast at the airport during our 4-hour layover (here is a picture of a bacon, sausage, egg and cheese focaccia sandwich from CPK-pretty good for airport food!) and caught some of the USA vs Slovenia World Cup match. We were bummed that USA was down 2 goals but the game got exciting with US coming back to tie the game 2-2. USA should have won 3-2 if not for a controversial offside call from the AR at the last minutes of the game. Soccer is an unpredictable, emotional game - you can never tell what will happen. Hopefully this will not cost Team USA the opportunity to advance. Keep your fingers crossed!
At 11:25am, we left a very hot Phoenix (today's high was supposed to be 106 degrees according to USA Today) for a 51 minute flight to Albuquerque.
So ESPN reported that AR who made that offside call on USA is going to be reviewed and will likely not be refereeing anymore games for the rest of the World Cup (too bad they don't do that for HYSA refs . . . just kidding! Ka'oi luvs our HYSA refs!)
