Emma's POV
"Is it on?" I ask as I sit down in-between Julie and Christen in the chill room across the hall from my pent house.
"Yep." Leonie says.
Everyone leaves for the April international break tomorrow so the Arsenal girls and I are having lunch together before we split up.
The Chelsea ladies are doing the same thing at Pernille and Magda's home.
"So why did they add more teams to the Olympic tournament?" Jordan asks as we eat our lunch while watching the Men's football draw.
"Because of COVID." Kim says. "They had more time to add 4 more teams so from now on there will be 16 teams in both the mens and women's football tournament.
"Emma are you guys going to have a league in America?" Kim asks.
"Yeah." I say. "They're going to play from April to May, have another Challenge Cup in June and July, have a break for the Olympics, then re-start the season a week after the Olympics."
"Chris are you playing for Miami?" Julie asks.
"That's the plan." Christen says.
Christen's gonna play for the latter half of the 2021 NWSL Season for Real Miami then we're gonna try to get her to LA.
"They're showing the pots." Leah says then I look at the pots that are shown.
Pot 1: Japan, USA, Netherlands, Great Britain
Pot 2: France, Sweden, Australia, Canada
Pot 3: Brazil, China, South Korea, New Zealand
Pot 4: Costa Rica, Chile, Cameroon, Zambia
After the pots are shown I sit in silence and eat my lunch while watching the draw.
Once the draw ends I look over the four groups.
Group E
Japan
Sweden
Brazil
Costa Rica
Group F
Great Britain
Canada
South Korea
Chile
Group G
Netherlands
Australia
China
Zambia
Group H
USA
France
New Zealand
Cameroon
"Thank fuck we're not playing Sweden." I say as I look at my phone after it buzzed from a text.
Vlatko: Hi Everyone
Vlatko: I wanted to give you ladies a bit of a heads up that the Olympics are allowing 23 player rosters at this Olympics mainly due to COVID so there are more spots on the team
"Well that's cool." I say.
"What is?" Jordan asks.
"There's now 23 roster spots for the Olympics." I say and show Jordan the text I just got.
"Sweet."
"Quarter finals and beyond draw of the champions league is on." Kim says then someone pulls up the draw for the Champions league Quarter final.
"Did you hear the news that Arsenal just tweeted?" I ask.
"What news?" Viv asks.
"All of our remaining home champions league matches will be played at the Men's Stadium."
