There are long lime green plants coming out of the water on the right…

Imagine playing in one of the most prestigious soccer tournament in America where teams from all over the world come to play to win. Fortunately for me I was able to go freshman year to Dallas, Texas . It was an amazing experience that I will hopefully be able to experience again.
