I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my yellow boots.

Once I'm dressed Sophia comes over and sits in-between my legs.

"Hey Soph." I say.

"Hi Frey." Sophia says as she hugs my leg then she sits up straight as I begin running my fingers through her long luscious hair.

After a minute of playing with my friend's hair, I pull it back into the normal bubble braid she puts it in for games.

Once Sophia's hair is in a bubble braid, I lean down and kiss my friends head.

After I kiss her head, Sophia and I get up, walk out of the locker room, and head onto the field with the outfield players.

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my white and red jersey while Cairo does her last minute talks.

When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I kiss my wife and hug her before I head out to the tunnel

Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Jaelin and Sophia then I wait for us to be called out.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Jaelin out onto the field.

Once on the field we stand in line for the Croatian anthem then myself, all of the ladies in the starting XI, and most of the ladies on the bench kneel for our anthem.

When our anthem finishes, we stand up then we shake hands with the Croatian players.

After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Raven does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.

"You ready for one last game Mrs. Nightingale?" I question as my wife and I walk to our spots.

"Yeah Frizzy." Raven says. "Yeah I am."

"Me too." I say then I kiss my wife and head to my spot.

Once everyone's where they need to be Raven kicks off the game.

The first twenty or so minutes are sort of entertaining since both teams are trying to figure each other out, but no real chance occurs for either team.

In the 23rd minute we get a corner kick so I wait for Sophia to take the corner while I walk around the box.

When the ref blows her whistle Sophia does her run up then she floats the ball into the box.

As the ball floats into the box I lose my mark then I jump up and head the ball past the Croatian keeper putting us up 1-0.

Once the ball hits the net I jog towards the corner flag then I do a cartwheel which leads into me doing a backflip.

When I land my backflip, I immediately begin moonwalking towards the corner flag

"Ooh that hurt." I mumble then I hug my other teammates.

Once I've hugged we all head to our side of the pitch and get ready for the restart.

The rest of the first half consists of us attacking the Croatian goal, but nothing happens so when the first half ends we head to the locker room 1-0 up.

During half-time I sit in my locker and drink water then follow the rest of the starters back onto the pitch fifteen minutes later.

Once both teams are on the pitch we kick off the second half.
