Sonnett's comment about being so fit playing the 6 is something that hit home. My daughter played soccer till she was 16, and ended up at the 6 for several years. She rarely had to come out because she was so fit. She ended up giving it up for cross country and track, because she had a lot more opportunities as a runner than a soccer player.

I LOVE these two together, I miss them playing on the same team together and this content makes me so freaking happy, thank you for this 😭😭😭😭😭

Emily Sonnett one of the best defenders/middle

[@janetwan1994]

I love sonnet wears her hair down❤

[@emilyb44]

That "best friends" comment had some sass! It's funny I assumed everyone was one big happy family, but it sounds like they really get sick of each other by the end of the tournament 😅

[@sicem11]

Me too then I had the thought of basically living with MY coworkers for 2 months and it made more sense 😂

[@samanthabeee6138]

That tag was a marketing nightmare tbh. I know there ain't no way I would seriously be calling every single one of my coworkers best friend. 😂😂

[@becjclark]

Best Friend 🥲🥲🥲

[@samanthamiller7267]

[@ThreeRunHomer]

It looks like she might not play much. I hope she gets some minutes. 👍🏼

[@Person-zx9rb]

Lmao Sonnett is definitely not gen z. These things are so subjective but she is very much so a millennial

[@johnguevara6160]

Sonnett is overrated

Drain question…Emily is right. The construction of the drain determines how water swirls in a drain “One can find both counterclockwise and clockwise flowing drains in both hemispheres. Some people would like you to believe that the Coriolis force affects the flow of water down the drain in sinks, bathtubs, or toilet bowls. Don’t believe them! The Coriolis force is simply too weak to affect such small bodies of water.” www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/physics/item/does-water-go-down-the-drain-counterclockwise-in-the-northern-hemisphere-and-clockwise-in-the-southern-hemisphere/

[@wojo4hitz]

I would like to chip in here, as someone with an Australian ex, that the water does not go either way in the toilet because toilets there just flush straight back! (I needed to know the answer myself when I went there all the time lol)

[@bhuld0115]

@@wojo4hitz Correct in some commodes! Australian ones apparently! The drains they're referring to are like a sink drain where the water swirls as it empties. That can be either way, clockwise or anticlockwise, in either hemisphere.

[@wojo4hitz]

​@@bhuld0115haha I know, everyone just always talks about toilets in Australia and it's basically a trick question!
