Emma's POV

"Aww." My wife says then she shows me her phone. "Leah and Jordan got engaged."

"Finally." I say as I look at the picture of the newly engaged couple. "So she did it in Germany."

England play Germany this international window and today is one of their off days so Jordan rented a car and drove her and Leah to Neuschwanstein Castle where she proposed.

Her other idea was to propose back in London, but she was leaning towards the castle because she wanted to propose to Leah at a castle because she wanted Leah to be her queen.

"Wonder when the wedding will be." Jessie says

"No clue." I say as our hired car stops outside of the Real Miami Stadium.

Once the car comes to a complete stop, my family and I get out of the car, head into the stadium, then we head down to the field to watch our team warm up for the biggest game of the NWSL Season.

Jessie, the twins, Shadow, and I are in Miami ahead of World Cup Qualifying which starts in a few days, but today is the NWSL Championship and the team we own, Real Miami, plays Chicago today in Miami's stadium.

We, Real Miami, are the number one seed, Chicago was the number 2 seed, Houston was the number three seed, and Portland was the fourth seed.

If we win tonight then we'll have won the Challenge Cup, the NWSL Shield, and the NWSL Championship.

Once we're on the pitch, we watch the Real Miami ladies warm up for a little bit then we head back to the area we're meeting the US and Canadian national team ladies who aren't playing today.

"AUNTIE SHE SHE." Hazel squeals when she sees Shelina.

"Munchkin" Shelina squeals then she picks up Hazel.

"Hi Dri Dri." Kingsley says as he hugs Adriana Leon's legs.

"Hey Bubba." Adriana says then she picks up Kingsley.

"You all ready to go?" I ask as I look at the group.

Everyone nods so we head up to the owners box.

Once in the owners box everyone gets some food and a drink then we all head out to our seats.

"Here ya go." I say then I slip Shadow some fries.

"Emma." Jessie warns.

"What?" I innocently question then I point at Shadow. "How can I say no to that face?"

Shadow smiles at Jessie then she tilts her head and puts one of her ears up.

"Well that's just not fair." Jessie says then she hands Shadow a few more fries.

"See." I mumble as I look at my phone after receiving a text.

The text is from Vlatko and he's just reminding us about the groups for the World Cup Qualifying tournament.

The US' group for World Cup qualifying is Costa Rica, Panama, and Haiti while Canada's group is Mexico, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Our Group plays all the group games here in Miami while the Canadian group plays all their group games in Orlando then the top two teams in each group head up to Canada for the knockout round.

The Canadian Soccer people bitched at CONCACAF for never having a qualifying tournament in Canada so CONCACAF gave the knockout rounds to the Canada.

The third place teams in each group will be apart of the weird play off thing for a spot in the World Cup.

"Here you go Sharky." Jessie says and hands me the program.
