When I played soccer in Europe in high school my team was befriended by a Polish boys team. We met them at the Paris Cup! I still remember playing and seeing them line the pitch, hitting their fists on the ground and yelling USA USA! It seriously was the coolest site to see and hear. When we left Paris to go play in the Holland Cup they went back to Poland but we exchanged emails with the ones we were close to. I remember emailing one of them for awhile and he even sent a Christmas card to my house a couple years ago. Well anyway, my point is that he emailed me the other day and I randomly checked my junk mail and recognized his name. He wasn't sure if he had my email right so I replied and told him that it was me...this is his response, it's pretty funny.
"oh!! great.. it`s you! What`s new about me? I still play football, y for you is soccer :P and i work in a club of course - soccer club! I`m not married, not yet, but i hope,because i have lov sweety! :) Greating for your husband!I have foto with you, from france! If i found it i will send. it was great team!

Russell and I got a good laugh but I think it's pretty neat that he remembers me after all these years! He still has a picture of us too and he actually emailed it to me...please refrain from laughing as I look ridiculous!
