Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Howard County Soccer Series at Blandair Park

I'm a soccer mom, through and through. I play soccer, my kids play soccer and for many years I spent every weekend and all weekend at soccer fields up and down this part of the east coast, especially when one of my sons was playing premier level soccer. I know that soccer parents have to get their players to the fields up to an hour early for warm-ups and such. I used to spend that hour either walking, jogging, talking with the other parents, entertaining younger siblings or if it was really cold, sitting in the car reading a book. I wish I was geocaching during that time, because I visited lots of parks in many different states and would have loved to spent that time grabbing caches also.

This is a very simple puzzle and soccer fans should easily guess the name of this player.

I love watching the US National Teams play and rooting for the USA.

This midfielder is an American National soccer player, two-time Olympic gold medalist, FIFA World Cup champion, 2015 and 2016 FIFA Player of the Year. This player has played for Chicago Red Stars,  Sky Blue FC, Houston Dash and the United States National Soccer Team before retiring in 2021. In 2015 this talented player became the second soccer player in history to score a hat trick in any senior FIFA World Cup Final helping the US to defeat Japan 5-2 and win the 2015 World Cup. Other accomplishments include scoring the gold medal-winning goals in the finals of the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2012 Summer Olympics.

What is this player's name?

A = Number of letters in the player's professional first name

B = Number of letters in the player's professional last name

C = A + 2

D = (A + B)/5

E = (A + B) - 1

F = A - 2

G = B + 1

Final coordinates: N 39 12.CDE W 76 50.FGB

Checksum: A + B + C + D = 19

Cache can hold small trackables and small trade items
