Hope woke me up at 7.
Hope: come on Baby Horse time to get up
I snuggled in further and mumbled no
Hope: its game day
Me: it is finally! Come on let's go its game day
Hope and I got dressed and went down to breakfast. We fixed our plates and sat down with the gals.
Me: hey did you see my Youth solo the other day?
Hope: I don't think so I only saw the last two
Kelley: two of what?
Me: dance solos
Ash: oh I wanna see one
Me: alright well once everyone clears out help me move some of the tables so I have room
Alex: alright
10 minutes later everyone but our group was gone. They moved the tables while I got the music ready. I took off my shirt and my right sock.
Me: alright press play when I say too
Ali: hey can I film this?
Me: uh yeah that's fine, alright hit play
The music started and I lost my self in the music. It ended and I put my leg down from the last pose.
Kelley: wow
Alex: that was understatement
Me: thanks
Ash: can you do more styles?
Me: yeah after lyrical and contemporary, Hip Hop is my best
Ali: really Hip Hop
Me: yeah, but I don't get to practice it all that often anymore
We talked for a little bit longer before we all went back to our rooms. Hope and I watched Game of Thrones until lunchtime. I ate quickly and then Tobin and I went to play soccer tennis until we had to load the bus. At the stadium we had time to change and settle down before warmups at 6.
After warmups we changed into our jackets and lined up. Both anthems played and we took the starting 11 picture. We took the field and the whistle blew. France kicked off but we won it quickly. We possessed all the way into the attacking third for a chance.
Announcer: Heath with the cross and Carli Lloyd with the goal. Header to the far post to put the US up 1-0 in the 8th minute.
We set back up and fought over the ball for the rest for the rest of the half. There were multiple fouls and two yellow cards given to France. Also most of the crowed yelled Zika when we touched the ball, it was directed to the whole team but you could hear it the most when Hope had the ball.
We went into he locker room and Jill talked. I got my left ankle retaped and then we went back up. The ref blew the whistle and we kicked off. We went up the field and immediately Allie played the ball to Tobin on the left. I saw the gap and one touched to Alex back out on the left. Alex dribbled and shot near post.
Announcer: Alex Morgan goal! Shot near post and Gerard couldn't get to it. US leads 2-0 in the 46th minute.
In the 75th minute Moe and Press came in for me and Alex. Horan went in for Allie in the 80th minute. No one else scored and then final whistle blew. We signed autographs and some did interviews. I managed to sign and then get to the locker room without being interviewed. I showered and changed in my US pants and pullover. Some girls were already on the bus while some were just now changing. I packed my backpack and got on the bus.
Hope was already on the bus but had her headphones on so I just took my seat like normal. A little while later we finally left the stadium. We got to the hotel and had dinner. Hope went to shower while I changed. Hope came out and got in bed. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before getting in next to her. We watched the end of the opening ceremony and then shut everything off.
Me: are you okay?
Hope: yeah I guess, I mean I'm glad the crowd was into the game but it still hurts.
Me: yeah well they are just mad that they aren't the greatest goal keeper in the world.
Hope: thank you Baby Horse
Me: of course, I'm always there for you just like you're there for me.
Wetalked for a little while longer but we eventually fell asleep at 12:30.
