Good game vs. the Chinese National team. I thought the Chinese were slightly better, but Stanford managed to win 1-0 in an enjoyable back and forth game.

One thing that irked me was that the National Anthem was not played before the game. It's the first time ever in my life that I remember that the anthem was not played at a sporting event from high school on up that I've attended.

Maybe we didn’t want to play the PRC’s national anthem as well?  Of course, that raises the question of why we would have scheduled the PRC national team, instead of someone like Australia, where we might have been happy playing both anthems.
