Emma's POV
"You're back." Daan says as I sit down in-between my future wife and Jordan.
"I'm done until the end of the game." I say as Harry Kane kicks off for England.
Tonight the USMNT plays in England in a friendly and I'm doing the post game commentary.
Since there are now 13 teams in the WSL, Arsenal are off this weekend so I got us a box to watch the game.
The Chelsea coach still doesn't like Jessie so she told Jessie to stay in London while Chelsea play Durham up in the North East of England.
Durham and Liverpool got promoted last year while Bristol City got relegated.
The Arsenal Ladies and Jessie are also gonna get to watch me on the post game show
"Here." Jessie says then she hands me a soda.
"Thank you." I say then I take out my note pad and look over the line ups for todays game.
1-Dean Henderson
2-Aaron Wan-Bissaka
4-Joe Gomez
5-Harry Maguire
3-Bukayo Saka
6-Jordan Henderson
8-Kalvin Phillips
10-Jack Grealish
7-Raheem Sterling
9-Harry Kane (C)
11-Marcus Rashford
After I look over the England line up I look at the American line up.
1-Zack Steffen
2-Sergiño Dest
15-Chris Richards
3-Cameron Carter-Vickers
5-Antonee Robinson
4-Tyler Adams
8-Weston McKennie
7-Giovanni Reyna
11-Konrad de la Fuente
19-Josh Sargent
10-Christian Pulisic (C)
After I look at the line up I watch the game and talk to my friends and my kids.
"Mama?" Kingsley says.
"Yes baby?" I ask
"They coming Family Day?" Kingsley asks as he points to my Arsenal teammates.
Family Day is my alternative to thanksgiving because I don't support the history behind thanksgiving.
"They are." I say. "So are your Chelsea Aunties."
The WSL is off the last weekend of November so the Chelsea and Arsenal ladies are gonna have Family Day Dinner with Jessie, the twins, and I as are some of the West Ham ladies.
"Really?" Hazel asks.
"Mhmm." I say.
"YAY." The kids cheer which garners everyone's attention.
"What happened?" Viv asks.
"You come Family Day." The twins say with a smile.
Everyone smiles at the twins then we all focus on the game.
Around the 85th minute we all head to the studio so I can get ready while the girls get into their positions so they don't disturb anything.
After I'm ready I sit in my chair in-between Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney then I scratch Shadow's head as she sits down next to me while we wait for Jake to intro the show.
"...Joining me today is former England defender Rio Ferdinand, Former England striker Wayne Rooney, and current American goalkeeper Emma Harris." Jake says then Shadow whines and looks at Jake. "And Emma's Service dog Shadow."
Shadow smiles then she rests her head on my lap.
"Good girl." I say as I pet my dog.
"So Emma." Jake says. "What was your reaction to the 3-2 loss for the American's.
