Scarlett's POV

"Did you, Madeline, Kennedy, and Kendall finish your celebration practice last night?" Jasmine asks.

"Oh we did more than just that." I say with a smirk.

"Ooh." Leah says as we are handed our line-up for tonight's match against the United States.

"Tonight's gonna be real fucking fun." I say then we look at the line-up.

1-Madeline Sow
15-Esme Morgan
6-Leah Williamson(C)
5-Kennedy Moore
3-Niamh Charles
4-Keira Walsh
16-Ella Toone
12-Kendall McLoughlin
23-Alessia Russo
14-Scarlett Blondeau
11-Lauren Hemp

After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax for the rest of the drive while snuggling with and talking to Leah and Jasmine.

Once at Arsène Wenger Arena, 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 stand with Leah and talk to our teammates for a few minutes then we head back to the locker room to get ready for the game.

Once I get to my locker I take out my nose ring then 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 wallet in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my long dark brown hair up in a ponytail then I put on my warm up top, my long sleeve white undershirt, and my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.

Once I'm dressed, I stand 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 Jordan does her last minute talks.

When the last minute talks end we are told to head to the tunnel so I hug and kiss Leah and Jasmine before I head out to the tunnel.

Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Kennedy and Kendall 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 Kennedy out onto the field.

Once on the field we stand in line for the English and the American anthems.

When the anthem finishes we shake hands with the American players, we take a starting XI picture, Leah does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.

"This is gonna be so much fun." Kendall says as we walk out to our positions.

"Real fun Kendall." I say as I walk with my friend. "It's gonna be real fucking fun.

Jasmine's POV

"Ooh they are deep in their bag." Chloe Kelly says as we watch Kendall, Kennedy, and Scarlett celebrate the third goal of the game.

Kendall has two goals and Kennedy has the third goal.

I'm just waiting for Scarlett to switch into Fuck around and Find out mode

"Well after what she said to them I expected a lot more." Fran Kirby says as I look at the US coach.

"What exactly did Emma Hayes say to them?"

"She said Scarlett, Kendall, Kennedy, and Madeline weren't good enough to play professional football." Fran says.

"Well she missed the mark on that one." I say then everyone hums in agreement.

Kendall, Kennedy, and Madeline are easily in the top three of their respective positions and even though she is my wife and I'm biased, Scarlett is undoubtedly one of the top 3 strikers in the women's game.

"When's Scarlett gonna go off?" Lotte asks.

"HEY SCAR." I shout causing my striker and I to lock eyes. "NOW."

Scarlett gives me a thumbs up then she and the rest of her teammates get onside.

"This is gonna be fun to watch." Lucy says then I sit back, relax, and watch my ladies take on the US.

Like everyone expected to happen from the kick off, the moment the American's restart the game, Scarlett turns up the pressure and runs all over the pitch to frustrate the Americans.

Rather quickly the American captain fucks up and plays a lazy pass across the field that Scarlett intercepts.

Once Scarlett has the ball she dribbles through the defense then she chips the American keeper and scores her first goal of the game and England's fourth of the game.

"YEAH SCAR." One of the bench players says as we celebrate the goal.

It's a very weird feeling celebrating a goal against the former national team you used to play for.

"I'm not done yet." I see Scarlett say to the American bench as she jogs by them.

"This is going to be a fun finish to the match." Maya Le Tissier says.

There's like 30 minutes left in the match.

"Very fun." I mumble then I kinda tune everyone out and focus on my ladies.

Leah, like she's done for the past couple years, doesn't let any ball or person past her while Scarlett runs rings around the American and easily scores two more goals.

"Uh Jordan now's a good time to sub her." I say as Scarlett and her teammates walk back up field after Scarlett scores her third goal of the game.

"Way ahead of you." Jordan says as she beckons Chloe Kelly back to the bench.

Once Chloe gets back to the bench, Jordan talks about some stuff with her then she subs in for Scarlett.

"Think I'm still not good enough?" I see Scarlett say as she walks by Emma Hayes.

"Spicy." Someone behind me says as Scarlett walks over to our bench.

When Scarlett gets to the bench she sits in the seat next to me then I rest a hand on her leg.

"Eww I'm sweaty." Scarlett says as she puts my hand back in my lap.

"So?" I say.

"The only time you should feel me when I'm sweaty is when you and Leah are...making me happy." Scarlett says.

"Whatever you say dear." I say with a smile. "Whatever you say."
