Emma's POV
"I can't believe we don't have five of our players." I mumble as I look at our line-up for today's game.
1-Emma Harris (C)
5-Kelley O'Hara
7-Abby Dahlkemper
12-Tierna Davidson
19-Crystal Dunn
6-Morgan Brian
3-Sam Mewis
22-Kristie Mewis
17-Tobin Heath
20-Catarina Macario
23-Christen Press
In the last game against Spain, Julie, Alex, Rose, Lindsey, and Mal all got their second yellow cards of the tournament so they have to sit out today's game.
That ref fucking sucked.
After I look at the line up I pass it behind me then I look out the window and realize we're at the stadium.
"Let's go Shadow." I say then my service dog and I stand up as we stop outside Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand.
After the bus stops everyone grabs their bags then we get off the bus and head 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.
After I'm jewelry free I take off my blazer, my white button down shirt, my dress pants, and my Chelsea boots then I put on my pink sports bra and my black compression shorts.
Once I'm only in a sports bra and compression shorts I put on my short sleeve red undershirt, my warm up top, then I put on my game shorts. I then sit down in my locker, put my long long curly brown hair up in a ponytail, put on my socks and put on my black and gold boots.
After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my black and white keeper gloves before I head onto the field with the other keepers.
Once I get on the pitch I notice one of the Italian bitches is standing at midfield staring at our side of the field so I walk over to her.
When I get to midfield I stand in front of the Italian and stare at her.
"Oh no." I hear Ash say as I stare at the Italian.
The Italian and I stare at each other for a while then both teams come over and try to separate us.
I stand my ground while the Italian bitch lets her team pull her away.
"Come on Emma." Tobin says as I smirk at the Italian bitch.
"Let's warm up." Crystal says.
"Alright." I say then I join the keepers in the warm ups.
I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my red keeper 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 grab my towel and water bottle then I head to the front of the line in the tunnel.
As we're waiting for to be lead out onto the field, I decide to shut my eyes and whisper my second favorite poem to myself.
Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
