Not sure if this is good or bad ... But we can only get better
Losing is never good in my book. However, I understand we faced an opponent with lots of size and experience. Facing an opponent with those traits likely will help them prepare for the season more than a squad that we would blow out.

I know we led most of the game. Wonder if lead was lost when we subbed. Coach said everyone on squad would play. We get another chance at them tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how we bounce back.
Staff believes the competition will be better than what they faced in Spain four years ago. They will play the Cuban National team and the Junior National Team. I have seen a few early pictures on Facebook from someone on the trip. It is like going back in time. Toilets without seats and 57 Chevy's seem to be common.
Amazing and beautiful country with so much culture and very proud people. If I had my pick to visit any country in the Western Hemisphere I would go back to Cuba no question.

Yes right now I would rather lose than blow someone out. I love these trips abroad, great experience for the team.
