"Here you go Bubba." Mama says then she hands me the line-up for today's game.

12-Tierna Davidson

"Here." I mumble then I pass the line-up behind me as we pull up to Arrowhead 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 the locker room I put my stuff down in my locker then I open my bag and grab my jump rope.

Once I have my jump rope I follow the girls out to do the pitch inspection then I stand off to the side and do my normal skipping routine with the jump rope while listening to music.

After 15 minutes I stop doing jump rope thing then I follow my teammates back 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.

Once I'm jewelry free I put on my warm up top then I put on my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker, put my long, curly, raven black hair up in a ponytail, put on my socks and put on my black and rainbow boots.

After my boots are on I 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 the coaches do their last minute talks.

After the last minute talks are over we are told to head to the tunnel so 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 Swedish anthem.

When our anthem starts, myself, Mama, Mommy, Sam, Tierna, Casey, and a few more ladies all take a knee.

After our anthem plays we shake hands with the refs and the Swedish team then I do the coin toss with Magda.

Once the coin toss is done with I head to our bench, do our team huddle, then I head onto the field with my teammates.

Moments after I get to my position the game kicks off.

In the 6th minute, Casey intercepts a pass then she passes to Julie who then passes to me around midfield.

Once I have the ball I look up and see space in front of the forwards so I look back down at the ball and slam my foot into it.

After the ball leaves my foot I watch it fly through the air then Catarina heads the ball past the Swedish keeper, putting us 1-0.

"Ah fuck it." I mumble when everyone runs to celebrate then I head to the bench area "That's too far."

Once at the bench area I take a drink of water then I head back to my position.

"KIMORA." I hear someone shout so I look at the shout and see Catarina giving me a thumbs up.

I return the gesture then a few seconds later the game restarts.

In the 28th minute we have a goal kick so I come short to give Alyssa an option.

Alyssa passes me the ball then I turn upfield and walk with the ball.

As I'm walking upfield, I notice Mama subtly pointing to a space ahead of her so I launch the ball to that space.

Mama runs onto the ball then a few moments later she side foots the ball past the Swedish keeper which puts us 2-0 up.

After Mama scores I run across the pitch to celebrate.

When I get to my favorite Stanford alumni I hug her.

"That's my Bubba." Christen says then she kisses my head as other people join our hug.

After the team hug, we all head back up field then Swede's restart the game.

A few moments later one of the Swedish players fouls me which earns us a free kick.

I decide to take the free kick so I set the ball down then I stand behind it and wait for the ref's signal.

When the ref motions me to take the free kick I look up and see space ahead of Sam so I boot it towards the space.

Once the ball leaves my foot I watch as the ball falls in front of Mommy then I watch as she blasts the ball past the Swedish keeper making it 3-0.

"Ah shit." I mumble then I kneel on the ground.

"Kai?" Abby says then I feel her put her hand on my back. "Kai what's wrong?"

"My head." I mumble then Abby covers my ears.

"CHRIS...ALEX...GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW." Abby shouts.

"Abby move your fucking hands." I say then Abby uncovers my ears.

Once Abby uncovers my ears I notice her hands have blood on them.

"Shit." I mumble then I get up and stumble over to the sideline.

"Woah Kai." One of the trainer's says as I fall into her arms.

"My head." I mumble.

"I know." Ava, one of the trainer's says then she picks me up.

Once I'm in Ava's arms she quickly carries me into the locker room and lays me onto the training table then she gets to work.

"Ava why is my daughter bleeding from her ear?" Mom asks.

"Her eardrum ruptured." Ava says. "My guess is it happened when she was hit in the head by that Swedish player."

"Stupid bitch." Mom mumbles.

"I'm gonna be okay to play against France right?" I ask.

"Yeah Kai." Ava says. "You'll be able to play against France."
