Jucinara's POV

"Psst." I say as Christen pulls into our parking spot at Solo Stadium.

"What My Queen." Christen says as she parks then she looks at me.

I smile at my wife then I grab her face, pull her to me, and kiss her.

"I love you." I whisper against my wife's lips.

"I love you to Nara." Christen says then she pecks my lips one more time before we get out with Nalu and grab our stuff.

Once Christen and I both have our stuff, I set my skateboard on the ground then I get on and ride it to our locker room here at Solo Stadium

When I get to locker room, I hope off my board and wait for Christen to catch up then we walk into the locker room together.

As we're walking into the locker room, I look at our Line-up on the wall.

1-Alana
2-Isabel
4-Jucinara
12-Tierna Davidson
6-Magdalena Eriksson
3-Adriana
7-Daniëlle van de Donk
14-Jackie Groenen
23-Christen Press(C)
21-Ada Hegerberg
10-Pernille Harder

Once in the locker room, Christen and I put our stuff down in our respective lockers then we head outside for the pitch inspection.

"BOO." I shout as I jump on Emma Harris

We play Real Miami tonight

"Really Juice?" Emma says.

"Yep." I say then I kiss my friends head. "Hi."

"Hey Juice." Emma says then I hop off her and hug her properly.

After I hug Emma, I hug her wife Jessie

"Hello my favorite Canadian." I say.

"Hi Juice." Jessie says then Christen hugs the married ladies before we move back to our side and talk with our teammates.

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, 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 take off my clothes 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 head to Christen's locker then sit down on the floor in-between her legs.

"Hey Nara." Christen says then she starts running her fingers through my hair.

"Hi Chrissy." I say then I face forward and let Christen do her thing.

My 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 maroon jersey while the coaches do their 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 Alana 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 Nara." Christen says with a smile.

"Hi." I say then I hug the Forward.

Christen and I hug for a few seconds then I get back in line behind Alana and Christen.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Alana and Christen out onto the field.

Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we shake hands with the Real Miami players.

After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Christen does the coin toss with Emma, 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.

Once everyone is in position, Real Miami kick off the game.

Like normal when a game kicks off, Real Miami launches the ball forward as their attackers stream forward.

Also like usual, I track the ball in the air then I get ready to head the ball.

Right before the ball hits my head, one of the Real Miami forwards jumps up then her elbow collides with my face causing us to tumble to the ground

"REF THAT'S A CARD." Someone yells then I hear my sisters start shouting at the woman who elbowed me.

As my sisters shout at the woman who elbowed me, I turn over and lay on my back.

"Ow." I mumble as I rub my face.

"Knock it off you three." Pernille says then I think she, Tierna, Magda, and Jackie pull their respective partners away from the woman who elbowed me.

"Baby you alright?" Christen asks as she and the team hover over me.

"That Bitch has a strong ass elbow." I say as I sit up. "Is my head bleeding?"

"No." Adriana says as I see one of the bench ladies warming up in my peripheral.

"Get me up." I say and hold my hands up.

"Let's..." Daan says, but my Sisters help me up.

"OCEAN." I shout as I look at our manager.

Once I have Ocean's attention I point to the center-back warming up and shake my head.

"You have to go off since the ref stopped play." Isabel says. "But you can come back on."

I sigh then I jog off the pitch to let the game resume.

"I'm not coming out." I say as I take a drink of my water.

"Hard head ass." Audrey Solo says.

Audrey watches the games from her box, but she usually stands on the sideline for all the pre-match stuff

"You can go back on." The fourth official says so I walk back on the pitch.

Once I'm on the pitch, I see Jenni Hermoso running all alone from her half of the field after a corner.

"Fuck me." I mumble then I start sprinting across the pitch.

While I'm sprinting, I stare at Hermoso and adjust my course to where I think she'll be.

Eventually I pick a spot then I run to the spot I know Jenni and I's paths will intersect.

Right before I get to the spot, I start sliding then 2 seconds later I slide tackle the ball away from Hermoso which sends the ball out of bounds.

After I tackle the ball away, I pop up off the ground and try to walk.

The moment my left leg touches the ground, my knee gives out causing me to fall to the ground.

"What the hell?" I mumble then my knee instantly starts burning. "Fuck."

Well shit

Looks like I'm missing the World Cup.

Fuck my Life.
