To be honest, not a whole lot happened on Day 4. It was all about rest and recovery. The highlight of the day was the afternoon training session, when the team met the Argentina Juniors youth players, who were performing a series of exercises at the clubhouse when assistant coach Anders Kelto approached them and started asking them questions. Within moments, all exercises had come to a halt as the young Argentines swarmed the Brown team, hoping to learn more about their American guests, and maybe trade some gear. Here is a list of the most commonly asked questions:
"Where are you from?"
"What state is that in?"
"What position do you play?"
"Do you play well?"
"Is it true that college parties in America are crazy? They look crazy. I have seen all of the movies. There are many girls."
"Do you have anything that you can trade with us?"
