Katana's POV
"Here you go Kit-Kat." Aurora says as she pass me our line up for our first World Cup group game which is against Denmark.
"Thanks." I say then I look at the line-up.

2-Sofia Huerta
4-Alana Cook
12-Tierna Davidson
3-Emily Fox
8-Julie Ertz
16-Rose Lavelle

After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax while petting my doggies.
Once at Old Trafford, 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, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, watch, and my rings, put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my short sleeve lime green undershirt, my warm up top, and I put on 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 tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my red 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 Cairo does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then Appa, Socks, and I do as told.
Once in the tunnel, I line-up right behind Talia then I wait for us to be called out.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Talia out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for the Danish 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 Danish players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Talia does the coin toss, we do our team huddle, then I lead Appa and Socks to the bench.
"Stay here pups." I say
Appa and Socks yip and smile at me so I scratch their heads then I jog to my position on the field.
Once I'm at my goal, I hang my towel up on the net, put my water in the net then Tierna and Alana come over and fist bump me before they head to their spots.
"LET'S GO LADIES." Someone from the sideline shouts. "LET'S FUCKING GO."
- - - - -
"Yay." I softly cheer when the game ends in a 3-0 win.
Talia scored 2 then Christen scored our final goal.
"KIT-KAT." Aurora shouts then I see my little sister running at me
"Poohead." I say as my sister gets to me then she jumps on me.
"You did so good Kit-Kat." Aurora says. "I mean you always do good, but you know what I mean."
"I do." I say with a smile.
"ME NEXT." Sahara shouts then she jumps towards me.
"Shit." I say as I quickly shift Aurora to my right arm then I catch my twin with my left arm.
"Oh you strong strong." Emma says as she approaches with her dog and my dogs.
I chuckle at what Emma said then I look at my sisters.
"You two are lucky I love you." I say then I set my sisters down and take off my gloves.
Once my gloves are off, I squat down to my doggies height.
"Hi boys." I say as I love on my pups.
Appa and Socks yip then they lick my face.
"Love you too." I say then I grab my towel and water bottle before I stand up.
Once I'm stood up, I walk upfield and shake hands with everyone, switch jerseys with Pernille Harder, then I jump on my favorite Striker.
"Oof." Talia says as I jump on her.
"Hi." I say with a smile.
"Really?" Talia says as Emma stands next to us.
"Well we're both going to the same place." I say as I point to the friends and family area.
"Your lucky I like you." Talia says as she carries me over to the friends and family area while Emma walks next to us.
"I am." I say with a smile then I notice Leah, Jessie, and Mikaela taking pictures of us
Since Leah played Yesterday, they were given the day off so she drove up here to watch and Jessie and Canada play Japan here at Old Trafford in a couple of days so that's how she was able to come.
"Did she sucker you into carrying her?" Mikaela asks as we get to the friends and family section.
"Yeah." Talia says as I get off her. "Big meanie."
"Sowwy." I say then I kiss Talia's cheek.
After I kiss Talia's cheek, I kiss Emma's cheek.
"That's just so you don't get jealous." I say.
Emma chuckles then we all head to our respective ladies.
When I get to Mikaela, I wrap my arms around her then I pull her over the barrier.
"Much better." I say once my wife is standing next to me then I properly hug her.
Mikaela chuckles into my neck then she kisses my pulse point.
"Jessie, Leah, and I talked about us six having dinner later." Mikaela says.
"Sounds good." I say then I kiss my wife.
"I know I say this a lot, but you look so sexy playing football." My wife says.
"Well thank you." I say then I hug my wife again and breathe in her scent.
"You okay?" Mikaela asks as she rubs my back.
"Yeah." I admit. "I'm just happy you are here."
