Husson men's soccer woke up this
morning for the hotel breakfast at 8:30. We would start our day out
by traveling to watch MVV train. It was a great experience and we got
to ask high level coaches a variety of questions followed by a
picture with the players. The assistant coach of the club was the
assistant coach of Netherlands back in the last World Cup in South
Africa. This team was able to make it to the finals in South Africa.
The majority of our day was spent in Maastricht after the training
session. We ate lunch there and were giving a few hours to explore
the shops. It was the teams final opportunity to shop and the last
opportunity to visit a European town. We were transferred back to
the hotel to eat a team dinner before heading out for our final event
of the evening.
The professional match we attended was Roda JC
against SC Cambuur. We had the experience of watching Roda play a
match against Ajax FC as well as watch them train earlier in the
week. The atmosphere of the match was most memorable. The huge
displays screens located at the corners on stadium wrote Husson
University as they welcomed us and showed our attendance at the
match. The match was filled with roaring chants and clapping
especially since the home team was winning the match. The beginning
of the match began with fireworks and the Netherlands' anthem. Roda
came away with the win 2-0 at the end of the night. Our team then
departed for the hotel back to Sittard where we will start some of
our packing for the return flight early Sunday morning as well as
rest for the remaining few days.
