Past Memories

63

Emma's POV
We are now in LA for the last two games of the CONCACAF tournament. The first three matches was pretty easy. 4-0 against Haiti. 8-0 against Panama. 6-0 against Costa Rica.

I played all three games and we are playing Mexico in just a few minutes. If we win we play the Olympic in the summer if we lose we don't. It's also Crystals one hundred cap so that fun we at least get one thing to celebrate tonight

Right now we are in the locker room and we have just got back from warm ups. Vlatko have his last speech before Carli also have a speech. We then walk out into the tunnel and I line up behind Carli and soon we walk out to the field

It only takes until the fifth minute for us to score. Rose got the ball a few steps outside of the box and just do what she does and then the ball was in the back of the net

I don't have much to do more then to watch so in the fourteenth minute I just watch Pinoe put in a perfect corner which lands on Sam who has no one around her so she can just put the ball in the back of her net with no problem at all

After that the first half don't contain much. I make one semi hard save and the Mexican goalkeeper only have three saves were only one got her to really stretch out

When we walk off at half time the players on the bench walk with us and Alex just so happen to walk next to me. "How the bench. Doesn't feel like something you are use to doing"

"Haha very funny. I'm going up to Julie and the commentator now after the break so I will see you on the bus"

"Okey. See you later. Love you" I say as I walk into the locker room and she continues down the hall and up a par of stairs

Third person POV
"And we are now back in the match between the US and Mexico here in Los Angels California and we actually have a guest with us from just California. Alex Morgan" Julie Foudy say as the players walk back on the field

"Hello" Alex say as the players take their position on the field

"There has been no substitute in half time as the referee starts the game again" The commentator say before Julie take over again

"So I'm going to ask what everyone wants me to ask. Why aren't you playing"

"I'm not injured as everyone think. It's just some physical stuff that's stopping me from playing soccer with physical contact. It's nothing that is bad in any way it's just something that I don't want to share with the world just yet and probably not with in the next year"

"Well I want to know what it is"

"I will tell you later" Alex say smiling even tho no one can see her

"Well will you be back to the Olympic is the big question"

"As it's looking now. Yes I will but it will be a fight. So if nothing unexpected happens I should be back"

"That is good to hear"

The commentator take over as USA get a chance but it sadly go right outside with post

Emma's POV
The game continues as it was first half. We own the ball but doesn't get to many chances. Well until the sixty sixth minute when we get a free kick right outside their box. Megan and Sam step up and then Megan run at the ball but jump over it as Sam just puts it in the far corner with power

After that we took over the game. We got more chance but it would of take until the seventh third minute when Ms Press would do very nicely chip the goalkeeper after she was subbed in

After that I have to make on big scale two keep the clean sheet before the ref blow the whistle after two minutes added time sending us to Tokyo

I grab my water bottle and towel before taking my gloves off and walking up the field to shake hands with all the Mexican players before I walk to Christen and wrap and arm around

"Look at you. You made that goalkeeper look like a fool"

"Isn't that my job" She ask raising her eyebrow which makes me laugh as a par my back I'm then thrown a sharpie of Pinoe. "All they ask for us you. So go sign stuff" I just shake my head but do as I'm told

I think it took about 20 minutes before I could leave and by then I had sign everything from shirts to hats. I had given away my shirt so Ash had to give her one of the two she was wearing. I gave my gloves to a girl around 5 and signed some more stuff. I think I turned down about twenty dates and the people who asked me were every were form 15 years old to 40 years old

I'm telling Christen all this was we walk onto the bus and sit down. You would think Chris is this nice girl that never would do anyone dirt. Wrong

"Pinoe" She say to the girl who is sitting beside us. "You sent Emma to sign stuff and she ended up with 20 people asking her on a date" And she said it clear enough so that everyone on the bus could hear it

"So you going out tonight then" Pinoe ask doing all of this worse because I know that they know how easy Alex get jealous

"No I'm not going out. I'm going to my hotel room and I'm going to doing stuff with my girlfriend that you can't do because your girlfriend isn't here" This gets her to shut up but the next thing to start

"Your kid is on the bus"

"I know and what I just said was inappropriate and I don't want to hear that you have said something like" I say looking at Toni

"I won't" She answer and I give her a satisfied smile
