Wien <--That's "Vienna" in German....

It has been a hectic couple of days with filming and coding here at the Champions Challenge II! The weather has been GREAT but the sun is over-heating our poor Macbook computers that are made of aluminum. We have a few strategies to keep it cool from now on but it was definitely causing problems yesterday! It was an unfortunate day because Canada lost to Italy 2-1 in a very close, tight battle for top of the pool. This one goal difference and loss bumped Canada from 1st to 3rd in their pool and we now face the Belgians in cross-over. This is NOT the ideal situation to move on and we put ourselves in it but nonetheless, we get a chance at revenge when Belgium beat us for 3rd place at the World Cup Qualifier last year in San Diego! I wish I was out there. You have to imagine just how difficult it is to be up in that tower filming and not out on the pitch contributing! PLUS the new uniforms look spectacular so I can't wait for that ;)

Today was a bit of a quieter day. I seem to have mastered getting all the player's clips done and exported for them in good quality. That has been a challenge because some people have PCs and some people have Apple computers. Both require a different format to view their clips!

We've done a bit of touring so far in Vienna so I thought I would share a bit of what we have had the opportunity to see:
