Hola! My name is Ben Patch and I am from Provo, Utah!

We woke up bright and early today to another morning of cereal, pastries, and the native favorite Dulce De Leche. We then took a mid-day walk around the city to get a better look at Argentina. We found something really amazing... A Burger King! A burger and fries never tasted so good! Burger King was so thankful for our business that they rewarded us with genuine crowns. Tom Tait (the Godfather) ate his burger with pride while wearing his crown. We returned back to our hotel full and ready for our game that was to come.

We had a team meeting to watch film of our opponent, Iran and got a better feel for what our task at hand was. With adrenaline filling our bodies we started getting really pumped for our match against Iran! To our disappointment we fell to Iran but we still made great strides to becoming better volleyball players! We fought hard, but just fell short. We are so excited for tomorrow to show Russia what USA has to offer!! Go USA!!!!
