FK Day 10 - Friday

It's Friday.

Tiff wakes up you and your team. You start with a quick warm up, then you get a light breakfast, then a final team huddle in the locker rooms before you put on your game uniforms.

Tiff recaps yesterday's planning meetings briefly. The main concern with Team Green is the small group of military girls that all know each other. Their soccer technique isn't perfect, but they have excellent synergy and are extremely tough.

There's a sense of relief because the waiting is over. Now you just have to play.

You put your uniforms on and head out onto the field, where there are tons of cameras, and the bleachers are full. These are all FUTA employees and their guests... live viewership is limited while FUTA is still in this early stage.

At least half an hour of group photos, individual photos, and pre-game interviews go by before you're finally walking out there onto the field.

It's another beautiful, sunny day... but hot.

The game starts out full throttle and rough. Green Team is aggressive and focused. There's precision in everything they do... they have their playbook memorized, and they stick to it religiously.

The military girls aren't afraid to get rough, and it's making for a good show. Even the small live audience is pretty loud.

You see Michelle watching. Tiff might be your coach now, but Michelle will always be your real coach. You don't want to lose in front of her.

"Good night last night?" Elena asks, touching your shoulder as she passes you.

"You bitch. You just wanted me to owe you one," you reply, patting her bottom.

But you have to stay focused on the game if you want to win. You were watching them during their last time out. Excella was saying something to Taina and Aria, and you think you saw her point out Elena.

Elena has been doing well this game, bullying Green Team's weak midfield. You suspect that they are planning a flop to try to card Elena out.

You can order Elena to back off and be less physical, or you can tell her to keep it up. It's a tough call. Elena's power is keeping you in the game, but if she cards out, your team won't have a chance.

What do you do? Tell her to ease up, or keep pushing?
