Freya's POV
"Here love birds." Azura says as she passes our line-up for tonight's game against Germany
"Thanks." I say as I grab the line-up then Raven and I look at the line-up.
1-Katana Solo
3-Sofia Huerta
8-Julie Ertz
4-Naomi Girma
21-Emily Fox
2-Azura Nwigwe
16-Rose Lavelle
15-Catarina Macario
11-Sophia Smith
14-Talia Martin(C)
7-Freya Nightingale
After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax for the rest of the drive while snuggling Raven.
Once at AT&T Stadium, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.
When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.
Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
When I get onto the pitch, I head to the center circle, stand on the center spot, then I do the Haka.
Taringa whakarongo!
Kia rite! Kia rite! Kia mau!
Hī!
Ringa ringa pakia!
Waewae takahia kia kino nei hoki!
Kia kino nei hoki!
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora' Ka ora'
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora' Ka ora'
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna ne I tiki mai whakawhiti te rā
A Upane! Ka Upane!
A Upane Kaupane
Whiti te rā,!
Hī!
After I finish doing the Haka, I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, then I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.
After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my warm up top, and my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my yellow boots.
Once I'm dressed Sophia comes over and sits in-between my legs.
"Hey Soph." I say.
"Hi Frey." Sophia says as she hugs my leg then she sits up straight as I begin running my fingers through her long luscious hair.
After a minute of playing with my friend's hair, I pull it back into the normal bubble braid she puts it in for games.
Once Sophia's hair is in a bubble braid, I lean down and kiss my friends head.
After I kiss her head, Sophia and I get up, walk out of the locker room, and 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 Cairo does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I kiss my girlfriend and hug her before I head out to the tunnel
Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Naomi and Julie then I wait for us to be called out.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Naomi out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for the German anthem then myself, most of the ladies in the starting XI, and most of the ladies on the bench kneel for our anthem.
When our anthem finishes, we stand up then we shake hands with the German players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Talia does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.
"LET'S GO GIRLS." Kelley shouts.
"She is so annoying." I say.
"Yeah." Talia says. "Yeah she is."
- - - - -
"This bitch is going to make me break my sobriety." I mumble as I look at Kelley O'Hara who just got us a corner kick in the 88th minute.
We're tied 0-0.
Kelley was subbed in for Sofia and ever since she subbed in she's been playing horrible passes because she doesn't want to pass to me, Azura, or Talia.
It's so fucking infuriating playing with Kelley.
"KELLEY YOU'RE NOT ON CORNERS." Cairo shouts as I see Katana running into the box, but Kelley ignores her and takes the corner quickly.
Kelley passes the ball into the area, but it heads right to Lena Oberdorf who Boots it up Field toward Alexandra Popp.
"GOD DAMMIT KELLEY." I shout as I sprint towards Popp.
Popp gets to the ball around the midfield line then I see her look towards goal so I slide tackle the ball away from her which earns a loud roar from the fans.
After I tackle the ball away from Popp I pop up off the ground then dribble the ball upfield.
"Fuck it." I mumble as I cross the midfield line then I slam my right foot into the ball and send it into the box.
Once the ball leaves my foot I watch the ball fly through the air then I watch Azura head the ball into the goal making the score 1-0.
"FUCK YEAH FREY." Jaelin shouts then I put my hands on my knees and catch my breath as everyone gets back onside.
Once everyone's onside, the German's restart the game then the ref blows her whistle.
"Fucking ridiculous." I mumble then I walk around the stadium with Raven, Talia, Katana, Azura, Emma, and Adelaide to sign stuff and take pictures.
After we've met all the fans we could, the 7 of us head into the locker room.
Once in the locker room I head to the cooler in the room, grab one of my soda's, and down it.
"You know that'd probably taste better with a beer." Kelley says.
"Oh my fucking god Kelley." Alex says.
"What?"
"Kelley I've been sober for almost 5 years and I'm not gonna blow my sobriety on a cunt like you." I say then I grab another soda and head to my locker.
"Why are you angry?" Kelley asks as I sit in my locker.
"Because you took the corner when you shouldn't have taken it." Sam says. "The whole stadium could see that."
"You also just didn't fucking pass when people were wide open." Tobin says as she plays with Christen's hair.
"Bold fucking strategy if you wanna make the World Cup Roster." I say. "Real Bold strategy."
