Hot In Venezuela

It's REALLY HOT down there. Mercury stack constantly points over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity is high. This hot and humid weather in the lowlands of Venezuela lasts all year long. Annual temperature usually end up in the high 80s (28 degrees celsius). With weekend matches played in the afternoons, to cope with the weather will be one of coaches' top priorities.

Basile had led our boys onto some pool trips, accompanied also by their families and friends.

The first game win against US was very helpful. With 3 points and 3 GD in our pocket, we can now relax a little, and hide a little from the blazing sun. Let the other teams fight it out, preserve our energy, and get ready for the knockout stages.

Link to some fan photos from this Copa, it's gorgeous down there.
