The USA is getting the treat of training on the fantastic pitch at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, which seats about 39,000 but is not used much for football anymore as the local clubs play at smaller venues.

Breakfast
Training
Lunch
Rest or strolling/shopping
Watch back-t0-back European Championship matches (sandwich around dinner)
Not a bad day at all.
