Freya's POV
"Here you go." Katana says as she passes tonight's line-up to me and Raven.
"Thanks." I say as I grab the line-up then Raven and I look at the line-up for tonight's game against Australia.
1-Katana Solo
3-Sofia Huerta
4-Naomi Girma
8-Julie Ertz
21-Emily Fox
2-Azura Nwigwe
15-Catarina Macario
16-Rose Lavelle
11-Sophia Smith
14-Talia Martin(C)
7-Freya Nightingale
After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax for the rest of the drive.
Once at Mercedes-Benz 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.
When I get onto the pitch, I head to the center circle, stand on the center spot, then I do the Haka.
Taringa whakarongo!
Kia rite! Kia rite! Kia mau!
Hī!
Ringa ringa pakia!
Waewae takahia kia kino nei hoki!
Kia kino nei hoki!
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora' Ka ora'
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora' Ka ora'
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna ne I tiki mai whakawhiti te rā
A Upane! Ka Upane!
A Upane Kaupane
Whiti te rā,!
Hī!
After I finish doing the Haka, I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, then I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.
After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, 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 warm up top and my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my yellow boots.
Once I'm dressed Sophia comes over and sits in-between my legs.
"Hey Soph." I say.
"Hi Frey." Sophia says as she hugs my leg then she sits up straight as I begin running my fingers through her long luscious hair.
After a minute of playing with my friend's hair, I pull it back into the normal bubble braid she puts it in for games.
Once Sophia's hair is in a bubble braid, I lean down and kiss my friends head.
After I kiss her head, Sophia and 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 I kiss my girlfriend and hug her before I head out to the tunnel
Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Naomi and Julie 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 Naomi 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 we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.
Once everyone's on the field, the Aussie's kick off.
The first twenty or so minutes are sort of entertaining since both teams are trying to figure each other out, but no real chance occurs for either team.
In the 23rd minute of the game we have a goal kick so Katana kicks it out to Rose.
Once Rose has the ball, Sam Kerr basically runs over her which earns a whistle then Kerr kicks the ball at our bench.
"HEY." I hear a bunch of people on the bench shout as the ball Kerr kicked hits Jaelin.
"Oh fuck no." I say then I sprint over to Kerr and slam into her which sends her to the ground.
"HEY." I hear an Aussie shout so I turn around and see both teams running towards Kerr and I.
Guess I gotta fight a bitch.
Right before the Aussie's get to me, the refs appear in front of me then my teammates stand around me.
"Aww." I mumble. "I wanna fight a bitch."
"Shush." Azura says with a smile so I shut up and relax.
Once the refs calm everyone down they show me a red card and they show Kerr a red card.
"A RED?" One of my teammates shouts.
"I'll take it." I say as I see Kerr walking off the field then I start walking off the field
When I get to the sideline, I high five Cairo and a lot of my teammates then I walk into the tunnel and head to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I take everything off, grab my towel and shower stuff, then I go take a shower.
After my shower I dry off then head back to my locker and change back into my comfy clothes.
Once I'm dressed I relax in my locker and scroll on my phone.
A few minutes later I hear the unmistakable sound of studs hitting the floor then my teammates start filing into the locker room.
"I think someone should be a hockey player." Katana says making me chuckle.
"Why the fuck did she kick the ball after the whistle?" Kelley asks.
"Cause she's fucking stupid." Alex says.
"So does this mean I'll miss the next game?" I ask.
"Yeah Freya." Cairo says with a smile. "Yeah it does."
