Oh Canada

Your POV:

The whistle blew and we were underway.

It was a vicious first half. Scoreless too. We went into halftime and knew we needed to get going.

"We're doing good right now." Jill said. "No changes but I want subs ready."

We went back out.

We got a corner. Moe sent the ball in. Canada cleared it out, but it landed with Becky. She sent the ball back in and I ran for it.

I got my head on it and sent it past the keeper.

"What!" I ran. Kelley jumped on me and Morgan followed behind.

"Holy shit!" Kelley yelled.

"I just scored against Canada!" I said. "And Becky Sauerbrunn assisted it!" Mal ran over and joined the rookie group hug.

"Fuck yeah!" Kelley said.

I looked towards the fan. "Let's go!" I yelled.

Mal grabbed my arm. "That was sick."

I looked at Becky. "What a ball."

She patted my back. "What a header."

Kling had the ball and passed it up to Mal, getting fouled in the process. She waited for the whistle, but the ref gave the advantage.

Mal raced towards goal. "Run Mal! Run!" Kelley yelled. She slid it across and Tobin shot it easily into the goal.

I jogged over to Tobin and Kelley jumped on both of us.

We kept our 2-0 lead. Press came in for Alex.

"You, Kelley and Press on the field at the same time? Awkward."

"Hey Kling." Moe said. "Shut the hell up."

Dunn was by the 4th official. I jogged over and sat on the bench.

We won the game, 2-0. We shook the Canadian players hands. "First trophy for the USWNT." Kelley said. "How are you feeling?"

"Pretty good. Cause I scored."

"Good? I mean congrats on the win but like. It's not a world cup." She laughed. I pushed her away.

"WE WON!!" Julie yelled. Morgan was on her back. "We got it Dunn!"

They ran away. "I'm going to legally change my name." Crystal said. "Either that or I'm murdering her." She walked away.

"Wow. They are"

"Yeah." Kelley finished.

We got out medals and the trophy. Morgan, Hope, and Crystal got individual awards. We got the fair play award.

"We are Rio bound!" Julie yelled when we got to the locker room. "And my best friend got the golden ball!"

"She's my best friend!" Kling stood up.

"Kling sit down, she'll kill you." Morgan said.

"Good lookin out Moe." Kling sat back down. Julie laughed.

Jill came into the locker room. 

"Great game." Jill said. "I want you all to recover, rest up relax. Get ready for NWSL preseason. Be ready for the SheBelieves cup. Never know, you might make that roster. After all that, be ready for Rio." She walked out of the locker room.

"SheBelieves cup?" Julie asked.

"The fuck is SheBelieves." Kelley said.
