pretend they're in the first team okay

Y/N POV:
today we're playing against Ireland today and I was pretty sure everything would go smoothly as we were a good squad but all of my thoughts of it going smoothly changed to probably landing not so smoothly on the ground after miss McCabe is gonna try and snap my legs off, great.
the england girls and I walked into our home stadium, Wembley.
It's always nice to play at Wembley and it's so nice to be inspiring young girls and boys to become the best version of themselves even if it's not being a footballer.
Before the game Georgia, tooney and I decided to do a lap around the pitch just to soak in the atmosphere but guess who also had the same idea..Katie McCabe and of course.. Lauryn.
Lauryn and I have always had a strong hatred for each other, whenever we're playing against each other she will actually try and do EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING she can to try and injure me but luckily she never has badly injured me, just a few bruises here and there.
as us England girls walked past the McCabe sisters Lauryn was giving me the nastiest look ever.
Georgia tapped my shoulder.
"what was that look for?" Georgia questions me talking about the look Lauryn gave me.
"we just don't get on to be honest." I shrug.
"oh alright." Georgia replies.
we finish our lap round the pitch and head into the changing rooms to get into our kit and put our trading top on to do a bit of training before the match.
after we'd all finished changing then we went outside back onto the pitch where the Irish had already started changing and as we stepped into the fans vision the all started cheering.
we did a few passing a shooting drills and everything was going great but of course it had to get ruined by the same girl AGAIN.
Lauryn.
she kicked a fucking ball at my head.
I turned around and saw they were doing shooting so I assumed it was a shot that went way over or she was just trying to hit my head. Either one sounds like her to be fair.
"great shot darling!" I shout sarcastically as I kicked their ball back.
"fuck off." she says. She actually had quite a nice voice.
no she doesn't! I can't be thinking like that. I say in my head to myself.
after both teams had done some training then we went back inside the tunnel and made our way to the changing rooms.
all we needed to do to get changed was take off our training tops but yeah.
Sarina and Leah gave us a team talk which was all about tactics.
I was starting which I was pleased about, and in my usual position which was striker which is a bonus!
all of the england girls who were starting made their way into the tunnel.
Not too long after the Ireland girls came into sight and lined up next to us and Lauryn was standing on the other side to me.
she saw me looking so I just acted like I was giving her a nasty look.
both teams started walking out of the tunnel and we went into our line and sand our national anthems.
then we made our way into our positions and the ref gave England the first kick.
