Originally was gonna be angsty

Mom has always said: opportunities don’t knock twice, you gotta snatch ‘em by the collar. And what better moment to release this story than now?

Call me an opportunist? Yeah, fair. I’ll wear that badge with pride 😏

@catyypss : standing ovation, truly. You took my chaotic ideas for the cover and turned them into a masterpiece, AS USUAL. Thank you, thank you for all the added details that I didn't even think to ask such as Hange's badge or Levi's name spelt by the fans. Truly amazing!

As usual, I add the title of the fic myself. Thank you Canva for watching me deface Catyyps art. Talent, truly.

Now for the part where I disappoint myself and you again: Updates for this fic will be slow. I'm sorry, but I have a new job that’s eating my entire existence, so please bear with me while I try to balance adulting.

But hey better late than never, right? 🖤

Fun facts about this fic:

1- I understood shit by reading this very explanatory page front to back. However, there will be mistakes. It's my first time living and who cares about accuracy, right?

2- Kuchel's birthday is May 20th so I decided that his jersey's number would be that one instead of the expected number 25, in honor of her.

3- I was going to do a real country instead of the typical Paradis, but then I was going to be pissed if the country I would have chosen, was eliminated from the real World Cup, so I played safe.

4- Certain parts of this story are inspired by Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford from England. Other parts will be slightly inspired by Iker Casillas and Sara Carbonero's story at the 2010 World Cup.

5- If you see that the names of the cups, leagues, championships are wrong, it's because it's supposed to be like that. I avoided the real names like the plague.
