The Vikings vs the Red Stars. The score still 1-1. This is still anybody’s match. But I’ll be damned if the Vikings lose now. Today.  \nIt’s the last minute of the game and the Red Stars have the ball. I try to keep up, but it’s hard to drown out all the noise. My heart is beating too fast in my chest, and I can hear the rush of blood in my ears. Our team captain, Stacey, gives me a concerned look as she races past me to get back to defend. She’s counting on me – the whole team is. The roar of the fans reminds me that they are too.  \nThe referee blows the whistle, but the noise from the crowd doesn’t stop. I slow down, take a deep breath. I can feel them looking at me. When I missed the goal earlier, they were booing me, and I can already imagine their comments online.  \nMaya Alam didn’t seem like she was on top form today, did she? The Vikings lost because Maya couldn’t get her shit together. Maya Alam let the team down. Again.  \n‘Hey, you OK?’ Stacey’s hands are at my elbow, her bright blue eyes peering down at me.  \n‘Yeah. I just can’t believe we’re still tied.’ I sigh, trying to catch my breath.  \nShe gives me a sympathetic smile.‘We can still pull it off. We’ve got extra time.’ She gives me an encouraging pat on the back before she heads off to speak to the other girls on the team.  \nWe’ve got fifteen minutes to turn things around.  \nI jog up to the field, taking my position for the final kick-off of the match. I close my eyes for just a moment, trying to tune everything else out. I have to be here, in this moment. In the match, thinking about the game. I can’t be worrying about what comes next.  \nYou’re Maya bloody Alam.
