Isabel and her friends gain an unfair advantage...

As the girls prepared for their big game the upcoming week, the talks were going on about how they were going to win. Playing 11 girls vs 11 girls was one thing, but to actually tactically outsmart their opponent was another. Isabel's team had struggled in recent games against their rivals, and this was the week they were going to beat them.

"We just know who we're going to take out of the game..." Isabel speculated, as the rest of the team nodded.

Heidi, the 6" brunette central defender, the team's rock solid tackler, had the first idea. "We elbow them in the guts!"

Isabel, her team's captain, shook her head. "We need more than that..."

The raven haired Alexandra spoke up next. "We step on their ankles before they jump in air challenges!" Alexandra played as a left back, and was much shorter than Heidi, measuring in at 5"5.

"Come on! Think bigger!" Isabel said, and looked at the identical twins, Maria and Emma. The two redheads played as a striker duo who knew each other very well, and they both measured in at 5"6.

The twins shook their heads. They only knew how to score goals.

"Ok, listen up girls!" Isabel said as she stepped onto a chair in their locker room. "I have already sent a message to them by taking the pants off of Stacey and Jill. I actually stole them altogether" Isabel said, grinning. "But now it's time for us to really cripple their chances..."

As game time was closing in, Isabel and her teammates readied up for the game. Standing on the pitch, they awaited their opponent's arrival, as their fellow students entered the gates for the big game to start.

But as their rivals entered the pitch, their starting 11 lacked three important players: Their captain and central defender Clara, their playmaker Jackie, and their top goal scorer Liza.

"It looks like you've done what I asked you to do!" Isabel said, as the twins showed her the content of their bags: Three pair of soccer shoes, three pairs of shorts and three pair of socks. And as their opponents took the field, the crowd noticed that on their bench, three players sat with their shirts on, but were wearing yoga pants instead of game shorts, as well as sitting there with their tootsies out in the open, barefoot.

"I told you they can't play without shorts, socks or shoes!" Isabel said as she and her teammates grinned together. At Isabel's command, the twins had managed to take out their opponent's star players by stealing their footwear and shorts. And by looking over at the sidelines, Clara, Jackie and Liza looked on towards the upcoming kickoff, fuming.

This was going to be an easy one!
