Cool Joe if he was based and stayed with the Sultans........
Rambles about Sultans!Cool Joe below vvvv
Immediately became the Sheikh's favorite because he was THE player Sheikh wanted, and everything went his way, so that already put Joe high up on Sheikh's "Favorite people" list.
As a result, he gets insanely spoiled by the Sheikh. Not only cause he's genuinely skilled, but because it gave the Sultans a huge popularity boost [and overall attention due to the controversy OF Cool Joe leaving the Strikas suddenly] AND Sheikh likes to use this as a means to gloat in front of Supa Strikas that he 'won over' one of their own team members.
It took a while for Joe to get used to the Sultans. He barely knew them, and they ONLY knew him for his soccer skills, but after enough time they started to bond. Not all of them want to do victory dances with him sadly :[
He actually doesn't do too many victory dances at the Goliath/The Oasis just because it gets so humid and his energy is horribly drained once the game is over. He'll still TRY, but he's never able to adjust to the humidity.
Speaking of which, the way his hair started to cling onto the back of his neck and the overall sensation the humidity gave him drove him crazy so he cut trimmed his afro down a TON, but didn't want to truly get rid of it.
When Joe mentioned he missed his club back at his old home, the Sheikh helped him open a new one. It's where he and the rest of his team usually go to celebrate their victories. Some of his teammates enjoy dancing with him, such as Fast Farouk, their goal keeper :]
Zoom holds some resentment towards Joe. They don't get along much. Zoom truly wanted to be captain of the team and worked incredibly hard, only for Joe to basically be served the opportunity on a silver platter..
I think Cool Joe would hate the Amal 3 in a whole other way. He had to leave his home behind, he left his team, he left his friends, he left behind his hard work for a huge HUGE change in his life that he didn't even know if it's truly work out in the end. So then 3 new guys come waltzing in with basically little to NOTHING to lose, guys who've made no where NEAR the amount of sacrifices he did and immediately getting all this special treatment? He hates how it makes him feel, he hates questioning the Sheikh's generosity, and the thought he could be REPLACED by those 3 nobodies? It made him angry.
Joe left because he thought he wasn't getting the recognition he deserved. He still believes the Strikas didn't appreciate him, and the Sheikh feeds into this insecurity. Whenever Sultans go against Strikas, it's tense between the two captains.
