After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax with Pongo for the rest of the drive.
Once at the Camp Nou, 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 put up in my locker, I grab my smudging bundle and my lighter then I follow my teammates outside for the pitch inspection.
When I get onto the pitch I stand on the touchline and light my smudging bundle then let the bundle burn for 30 seconds
After the bundle has burned for 30 seconds I blow it out which causes the bundle to start smoking then I walk around the edge of the pitch while doing my smudging ceremony with Pongo.
As I approach the place I start my ceremony I walk onto the pitch and cleanse my teammates with the bundle then Pongo and I head to our bench area and cleanse it.
After I finish doing my smudging ceremony, I extinguish the smudging bundle in a jar of sand then Pongo and I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I put my sand jar in my locker then I take out my nose ring and I take off my necklaces, my earrings, and my rings.
After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and wallet in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my black cowboy hat, put it in it's protective case then I close and lock the case.
After my hat is put away properly I take off my tracksuit and put my long, curly, dark brown hair up in a ponytail then I put on my warm up top, my long sleeve red undershirt, and my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my rainbow boots.
Once I'm dressed 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 red jersey while Thierry Henry does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I put on the captain's armband then I look at the USA line-up for tonight.
