Part 7

8 February 2015

It was the first game of the World cup year. Kara had worked hard over Christmas and to raise her strength and fitness. Her sisters had tried to do the same workout has her but found out it was harder then it looks and end up being to tired to stand up. Kara had fun teasing them about of unfit they were even though they had a private trainer.

Today the US were against France, they were playing in France which means this is Kara first away game for the US. It had been weird to get back to the team buck Kara had got back to scaring people and prank them. Kara had got Alex back for the wiped cream she did to her. She had got Kelly to help her with it. They got her during dinner the day before the game. They got one of the staff to give them a paper plate and the whipped cream. Alex was about to get in the lift which Kara had been in and Kelly messaged her it was time. Everyone can see the lift when you are at dinner. Alex thought they would of forgot to get her back or gave up trying to get her. Once the lift door had opened Alex had a face full of whipped and on video due to Kelly. Everyone saw it and started laughing. When Alex had wiped the cream away had already get in another lift to get away from Alex. She had nearly got to lift to stop the door but had closed with Kara laughing on the inside of it.

At the start of the game both side have good chance to score but both couldn't score. When whistle blew for the end of the first half the score is 0-0. Kara had started the game had tried to put pressure of the French defence but it seemed the French were the first to break the deadlock when a cross came in and Le Sommer headers it into he net which Ash couldn't get to in time. A minute later the French had scored again from what was going to be a cross but had hit the back post an went into the net. Kara was subbed of in the 63 minute for Abby. In the 65 minute the US had got a penalty but the French keeper guessed the right way and saved it. The scored ended with the French getting the 2-0 win against the US. Not the start they had wanted for the year.

The US had travelled to England to face them. The US were hoping to win the game and get back to winning ways after the loss to France. They wanted to win the win the World cup and they need to have a good build up to help their confidence. Dawn had upend their fitness and the weights they do in the gym. Kara hasn't been more happy to ice bath in her life.

The game against England was going to be a good test as the English had been pushing their team and hoping to do well in the World cup. Kara had started the game, in the 25 minute Kara had put a cross into the box which Alex had got a head on to direct it into the goal. The US was 1- 0 up buy the end of the first half. In the second half it didn't change much, the US was trying to get another goal but couldn't. The score stayed 1-0 win for the US and Kara had got the full 90 minutes which had put more confidence in Kara which had started to show in games and training. At home her family was getting more complicated and the cracks were showing in the family. Kara was trying her best to not to notice the cracks.
