On Saturday we walked into the quaint
city of Sittard. The town was only a brisk ten minute walk from our
hotel. We frantically dodged the many mopeds and bikes that were
racing down the street. As we explored the inner city we discovered
the local markets, as well as a wide variety of peculiar shops. The
beautiful cobblestone streets led us to some brilliant Dutch cuisine.
Our most frequent question to our waiters was, “What...?”
After
our meals we knew it was time to get in the zone for game time. Kick
off was at 6 and we left the hotel around 4:30. Our opponent was
V.V. Spaubeek, a club team in the area. We knew we were in the mecca
of football when the club had personal training facilities
accompanied by a clubhouse and pub. After our butterflies settled we
managed to build up a two goal lead, but our opponents fought hard
and ended up tying the game in stoppage time. Although it was
disappointing to lose the lead there is a lot of confidence within
our team that will carry over to our future matches. After the game
we returned to the hotel and are currently resting up for an early
kickoff tomorrow.
