Today's the Final of the 2035 World Cup and we're playing England in the Rose Bowl in LA.
If we win today then I'll have won 5 World Cups and the USA will have 7 stars on their shirt.
"We're here cap." Some youngster says as we pull up to the stadium.
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 tracksuit 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 lime green 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.
When I get on the pitch 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 lime green 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.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I lead our team out onto the field
Once on the field we stand in a line and stand in silence for the English anthem.
When our anthem starts, myself and a few more ladies all take a knee.
After our anthem plays I stand up, shake hands with the refs and the English team then I do the coin toss with the English captain.
Once the coin toss is done with I head to our bench and do our team huddle.
After our team huddle I grab my towel and my water bottle and head to my goal.
Once I'm at my goal I hang my towel on the net, put my water bottle outside the net, then I stand in my goal as the game kicks off.
"GO MAMA." I hear one of my kids shout. "YOU GOT THIS."

"EMMA." Catarina shouts as she runs to me after the final whistle.
"Well this is gonna hurt." I mumble then my friend jumps into my arms.
"WE WON." Catarina shouts.
We won 3-0.
"Yes we did." I say then I set Catarina down.
After I set Catarina down I hug her one more time then I notice the youngsters running at me.
"MOM WE WON." One of the youngsters shouts.
Since I'm 38 and the oldest person on the team, all the youngsters call me Mom.
"WAIT." I shout then all the youngsters crash into me. "You all suck."
"You give good hugs." One of the youngsters says.
"Thanks munchkin." I say then I hug all the youngsters.
After I hug all the youngsters I grab my towel and water bottle then I head over to the sideline.
When I get to the sideline someone takes my stuff then I stand around and watch as the awards are given out then I go up to the podium when my name is called.
Once again I won golden ball and golden glove of the tournament.
After the awards are given out, England get their runners up medal's then we go up and get our medals.
Like always, I'm last to go up.
"I hear you have an announcement to make." The current US President says after he puts my medal around my neck.
"I do." I say with a smile.
"Well I wish you all the best."
"Thank you." I say then I move down the line and shake hands with everyone.
After I shake hands with everyone I get handed the trophy then I kiss the last trophy I'll ever win in international football.
Once I have the trophy I walk over to the team, do the 1 2 3 bounce thing, then I raise the trophy as confetti cannons explode.
After I lift the trophy a few other teammates lift the trophy before we take a team picture then we start taking pictures for ourselves so I take my pictures with my awards from this tournament and the World Cup trophy.
When I finish taking pictures I hand the trophy and my awards off to someone then I grab some confetti and tuck it into my sock.
"You ready Emma?" One of the media people says.
"Yeah." I say then I follow the media people over to the ESPN sideline reporter.
When I get to the ESPN sideline reporter, I wipe my face with my jersey then I stand in front of the camera as the ESPN sideline reporter intro's our interview.
"So Emma I hear you have an announcement to make." Amy Rodriguez says then she gives me the mic causing the entire stadium to get deathly silent.
A-Rod joined ESPN to be the sideline report for all of the USWNT games.
"Well you all know I'm retiring at the end of the season." I say. "And you also know I'm not good at speeches so I'm just going to be frank here."
Here goes nothing.
"I am very excited to announce my Candidacy for the 2036 United States Presidential Elections." I say then the entire stadium roars.
Well that's a good sign.
"Now if you'll excuse me." I say as I look at my family. "It's time I hug my family."
