Team U.S.A -- July 28

Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland for the U.S. Women's Olympic Soccer Game



Someone knitted decorations like the teams' flags and put them around the stadium.

E: It was so fun to watch the U.S. women’s soccer game because it was the real Olympics – not just tv – and we got to see the real players. When we watched the players warm up, we got to get really close to them.

Abby Wambach

E: I felt kind of sorry for Hope Solo because she did not get that much action during the game, but that meant the U.S. was playing a good game. It was great to be there to watch the U.S. win. Sometimes the crowd would chant USA. The food at Hampden park was not that good. They only had a few things on the menu, and they weren’t good. They had mostly pies (the Scottish meat kind) and crisps (potato chips). We saw some drummers at the front of the stadium. They were really good and loud.

On the train to the game, I was named an Olympic winner

A: At the game I liked standing down by field when the players warmed up. It was fun watching everything close up. The Olympic park had seats in different colors that made the Scottish flag in the end zone.

S: Being at the Olympics was so cool. I like watching the U.S. women’s soccer team on tv, and watching them live was awesome. It was cool seeing Abby Wambach, Hope Solo, and Alex Morgan.
