Freya's POV

"Here you go Nightingale's." Talia says as she hands us tonight's line-up.

"Thanks." Raven and I say then we look at the line-up for tonight's game against New Zealand.

3-Sofia Huerta
8-Julie Johnston
12-Tierna Davidson
21-Emily Fox
2-Azura Nwigwe
5-Sam Mewis
16-Rose Lavelle
17-Tobin Heath(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 while snuggling Raven.

Once at Red Bull Arena, 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, my long sleeve white and red undershirt, 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 and red 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 wife and hug her before I head out to the tunnel

Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Sam 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 Sam out onto the field.
