This morning was quite hard because we had many hard days behind, but my mind was very positive. We were invited to the Finnish ambassador´s house in Palmas. It took us 1 hour to drive there. The traffic was something that we are not use to in Finland. It was nice to step on Finnish land in Mexico. The reception was very warm and easy going. I felt totally comfortable with ambassador Anne Lammila. She seem really interested about the Homeless football in Finland and Finnish system for drug and alcohol rehabilitation. The meeting with ambassador was very emotional when the players had a chance to talk about their past lives. After the reception we left to the venue and started to get ready for the game against Denmark. I think it was better game from us, but Denmark was a very good team. We lost 6-2. Second game against USA I had 3 good chances to make goal. Didn’t open my scoring yet, but there are 4 days left to fix that Finland! Still feeling good and this has been a awesome experience. We will continue with the famous Finnish “Sisu” and keep smiling.
