The Nationals FC 2000 boys began their 2nd day with their final pool game against the Charlotte Hurricanes. The boys played with confidence and controlled most of the possession. They finished the game with a 5-1 win to secure the second seed from their pool going into the playoff round.

As a second seed, Nationals FC drew the Samba Dragons, a third seed team from New York. The boys started strong, controlling possession in the game and ended halftime with a lead of 3-0. In the second half, they were up 4-1 and were looking to finish off the game as they had done in the first half. Unfortunately their defense lost composure in the last few minutes of the game and gave up 4 goals. The game losing goal came just seconds before the final whistle. No matter what team you play, making too many mistakes in 3v3 will cost you goals. It was a very hard loss with tears and disbelief on their faces after the game. They knew they should have done better. The boys learned a very hard lesson today. One they will not soon forget I'm sure.

The 2000 boys took their final training preparation indoors for the Kick It 3v3 World Championships. For the past two weeks they have played indoor matches at Frisco Indoor Sports against other local 3v3 teams making the trip to Disney. The boys mostly faced older teams consisting of 99, 98 & 97 boys and girls. It was great competition for all and allowed the boys to get their game rhythm down. The boys will be traveling to Orlando, FL at the end of the week and will play their first pool games on Saturday at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex. Best of luck boys!
