Jucinara's POV
"Here Juice." Tobin says as she hands me our line-up for tonight.
"Thanks." I say then Christen and I look at the line up for tonight's game in San Diego.

After Christen and I look at the line-up, my wife passes the line-up behind us to Talia then we relax as we approach the stadium.
Once at Mission Valley Stadium, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.
When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.
Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
After we've inspected the pitch, my teammates and I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, I take out my nose ring, and I take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit then I put on my warm up top and my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.
After my boots are on I wait for Christen to do Talia's hair, then, once she's done with Talia's hair, I sit down on the floor in-between Christen's legs to let her do my hair.
"Hi Nara." My favorite Tattoo'd forward says.
"Hi Chrissy." I say then I relax, face forward, and let Christen do her thing.
Christen runs her fingers through my hair for a little bit then she puts my hair into a pony tail just like I like it.
"Thanks." I say then I hug one of Christen's legs.
"No problem." Christen says then she tilts my head back and pecks my lips.
After our kiss, I get up, walk out of the locker room, and 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 Cairo does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so Nalu and I do as told.
Once in the tunnel, I line-up right behind Casey then I wait for us to be called out.
Right before we head onto the pitch, I step out of line, walk to the front then I stand in front of the captain and face her.
"Hey Juice." Talia says with a smile.
"Hi." I say then I hug the Forward.
Talia and I hug for a few seconds then I get back in line behind Casey.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Casey and Talia out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for the Australian anthem then myself, most of the ladies in the starting XI, and most of the ladies on the bench kneel for our anthem.
When our anthem finishes, we stand up then we shake hands with the Australian players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Talia does the coin toss, then I lead Nalu to the bench.
"Stay here." I say
Nalu yips and smiles at me so I scratch her head then jog to my position on the field.
"So we're all in agreement that Kerr doesn't get a touch without us kicking her?" I question.
"Yep." Abby, Emily, and Sofia say.
"Good." I say as the game kicks off.
After the game kicks off, just like planned, my fellow defenders and I don't let any of the Australian's get a single touch on the ball in the final third.
And like always, I talk so much shit.
"You're so shit." I say after blocking one of Sam Kerr's shots in the 20th minute. "No wonder only Chicago wanted you."
"You know you talk to much." Sam Kerr says.
"You definitely can't talk." I say.
Most women's footballers know that Sam Kerr talks the most shit during the game.
"You also have no room to complain about people giving you shit." I say. "Miss I touched a married woman without permission."
I still don't know what made Sam Kerr think it was okay for her to touch Kristie Mewis, or I guess Kristie Maxwell now, without permission.
"Didn't you do it twice?" Abby Dahlkemper asks as the ball goes out for a corner.
"She did." I say then my fellow defenders and I jog forward for the corner.
Once I'm in the box, Kelley runs over and takes the corner, but like usual, her corner sucks and ends up at Steph Catley's feet.
"Dammit Kelley." I say as Steph boots the ball upfield to Kerr then I sprint back up field.
Because I'm the fastest person in football, I easily catch up with Kerr then I jog with her as she sprints towards goal.
As we cross into the box, Sam fires a shot at goal, but I slide block the ball out of bounds.
After the ball ricochets off my leg, I stand back up then I feel two hands shove me in the back which sends me head first into the post of the goal.
"WHAT THE FUCK SAM?" I hear Julie shout.
"Yo that was fucked." Kelley says then I feel hands on my back.
"Talk to me Baby." Christen says.
"You're not killing Kerr?" I ask.
"Talia's got that covered." Christen says then I notice Talia getting into Kerr's face.
"AND ANOTHER MOTHER FUCKING THING." Talia shouts as some of our teammates try to pull her away.
"Was that pinging noise my head hitting the post?" I ask.
"Yeah." Christen says as I notice the training staff is coming towards us.
"And why was I pushed?" I ask. "I talk shit like that every game and nobody's ever reacted anywhere near that."
"No clue." My wife says.
"Oh shit." I hear one of the doctors say. "Sorry Jucinara."
"What?" I ask.
"I stepped on your hand."
"You did?" I ask.
"Juice can you feel this?" I hear Cairo say.
"Feel what?" I ask.
"Nara can you get up?" Christen asks then I try to get up, but nothing happens. "Shit."
"What's happening to me?" I ask as I start to get emotional.
"Just relax Baby." Christen says as I notice the rest of my teammates coming over to me. "Just relax and let the doctors do what they need to."
"Mokay." I mumble then I sniffle a bit.
This can't be good.
This can not be fucking good.
