5-Kelley O'Hara
7-Abby Dahlkemper
4-Becky Sauerbrunn(C)
19-Crystal Dunn
2-Julie Ertz

3-Sam Mewis

Just like the semi-final game, we're playing a 4-5-1 tonight and our five in midfield contains 2 CDM's, Lindsey and Julie, and 3 Center Mids, Sam, Rose, and Kristie.

I'm the lone striker for tonight.

In the semi final game, I scored our lone goal in our 1-0 win against Canada.

"Here." I say then I pass the line-up to the row behind me as we pull up to the stadium.

After the bus stops everyone grabs their bags then we get off the bus and head to the locker room.

When I get to the locker room I put my stuff down in my locker then I open my bag and grab my jump rope.

Once I have my jump rope I follow the girls out to do the pitch inspection then I stand off to the side and do my normal skipping routine with the jump rope while listening to music. 

After 15 minutes I stop doing my jump rope thing then I follow my teammates back to the locker room.

When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, take out my nose ring, take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I put on my warm up top then I put on my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker, put my long, curly, raven black hair up in a ponytail, put on my socks and put on my black and rainbow boots.

After my boots are on I head onto the field with the outfield players.

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my White jersey while the coaches do their last minute talks.

After the last minute talks are over we are told to head to the tunnel so I head to the back of of the line in the tunnel.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so someone leads us out onto the field

Once on the field we stand in line for the anthems then we shake hands with the Dutch.

The IOC won't let us kneel or else I would have kneeled.

After we shake hands, Becky does the coin toss, then we do our huddle before we head onto the field.

Once everyone is on the field the Dutch kick off the game and right away I can tell we're in for a long game.

"Alright." I mumble when the defense let in an easy goal in the 5th minute. "Guess I gotta do this my damn self."

"I swear to Fuck." I say as I look at my teammates at halftime. "If one of you doesn't get me the fucking ball when I'm open then we're gonna have a big fucking issue."

We're down 2-0.

We're down 2-0 all because a certain right back can't do her fucking job.

"Ali go warm up." Vlatko says. "You're going in for Kelley.
