Sarah's POV
"Auntie Sarah you sit by me." Zoi Press says as she drags me over to the big couch her Mama's and brother are sitting on.
"Oh Alright." I say as I follow the little girl to the couch.
Once at the couch, I sit down next to Jucinara then Zoi climbs into my lap.
"I see you found Auntie Sarah." Jucinara says.
"Mhmm." Zoi says with a smile. "Now we watch Auntie Jessie."
Canada and Spain are playing tonight in the 3rd place game of the World Cup and we're watching it as a group.
During halftime of the game, we're gonna switch channels and watch Phoenix run her final race of the USA track and field outdoor championships.
Yasmijn and Kiyana finished their respective country championships today and they should all be here tomorrow.
We wouldn't normally be able to watch Phoenix race since it was supposed to be run at 7 PM Oregon time which would be 4 AM our time, but there's supposed to be a bad storm in Oregon tonight so they moved the races to late morning early afternoon.
"You excited to watch Auntie Jessie?" Emma asks from the couch next to us.
Zoi nods with a big smile then she looks up at me.
"Did Fifi run yesterday?" Zoi asks.
Yesterday Phoenix won the 400 meter race by running a 47.71 second race.
The closet person to her was Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone who ran a 47.92.
My girlfriend is so fucking fast.
"She did." I say. "And she won."
"Yay." Zoi cheers.
"It sucks what happened to that Arkansas girl." Astrid says.
In the prelims of the 400 meter race, Britton Wilson, a runner from Arkansas who ran the fastest collegiate 400 ever this year, injured her toe so she had to pull out of the championships.
"Yes it does." I say as the Spain v Canada game starts.
"When Mommy be here?" I hear Hazel ask.
"Mommy's gonna fly in tomorrow morning." Emma says.
"Yay." Hazel and Kingsley say then we all focus on the game.
Just like I thought would happen, Canada dominates the first half.
In the semi-final game against England, Spain looked flat as fuck.
A day after the semi-final game the Spanish women publicized a deal they signed with the Spanish federation to get them to come back to the team.
The deal was that if the Spain women came back to play, the Spanish Federation would find a new manager for the team after the 2023 World Cup.
Before the semi-final game, the Spanish Federation told the team that they weren't gonna get a new manager, but thankfully the Spanish ladies got a legally binding contract so the Spanish federation is fucked.
I'm so fucking happy Cairo is our national team manager.
"Mama no score." Kingsley sadly says when the game reaches halftime.
"I bet she scores in the second half bubba." Emma says as she turns the tv over to the
Somehow we're getting American channels here in Germany.
I guess Cairo has a hookup.
"Auntie Fifi." João says when Phoenix is shown on screen getting ready for her 200 Meter race.
