MANY, MANY, MANY thanks go to Christine (colligate) for her AWESOME beta work! *Hugs and kisses* Love you sweetie!

Okay so this is an A/U, and it's a soccer fic. I got pretty good reception back at EF so I hope you guys enjoy too. Please leave a review, I would really appreciate it.

Also, many thanks go to nmcil (Sylvia) for her gorgeous work on the banner for this story!

Again, hope you enjoy this story guys.

2. Arrival of a Potentially Famous Soccer Star(s) by Shakes [Reviews - 5] (3126 words)
Okay so I'm back and there's a few things I would like to say before you read Chapter 2. Firstly, in relation the issue with the text, I will contact the mods afterwards. For now, just read without clicking and you should be all right.

Secondly, I realize that I said I would post a chapter per day (out of the already written chapters) however I will go to once a week posting instead (meaning that chapter 3 will be posted next week, not tomorrow). This will increase the effectiveness of my lovely cliffhangers. :P
I've decided to post every Friday from now on, since we all love our Fridays. Maybe I can make it a bit more special *wink wink* LOL Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter.

Thirdly, many hugs and thanks go to Christine (who goes by serendipity here) for beta-ing this chapter. You're the BEST! :)

Fourthly, special thanks go to immortalangel08, PhotographyNut, nmcil, serendipity and cordykitten for reviewing! Love you all! And thanks a lot cordykitten for letting me know about the chapter problem.

Okay so my boring little lecture is over. Off to reading! Enjoy and review please! Very much appreciated and are always replied to!
