Omg, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! I will even forgive you for being an Arsenal fan. Haha. :) But yes, this is such a sweet story. I love that Jensen was annoyed that Jared was stealing his American thunder but he couldn't bring himself to continue hating Jared when he met him. And I love that Jared was basically an Ackles fangirl. I was also happy to see Man Utd winning for once, even if it's in fic form (I actually watched clips of our 8-2 defeat or Arsenal yesterday just to remember the good days :P).

I love that you included some of the technical side of things, like the commentary, RL players and describing the goals. It gave the story that 'real' feeling, if that makes sense.

Apparently if it wasn’t sponsored by a Middle Eastern Airline or a global insurance conglomerate, Americans didn’t bother knowing about it.

LOL. Pretty much. :D

(Though just about everyone in the Premier League knows that Mesut Ozil and Mathieu Flamini have more than a bromance, and that hookups happen in every squad.)

Lmao. I'd love to be a fly on the wall if they were hooking up! :P

Thank you so much for this! I was pretty much squeeing the whole time because this is perfect and everything I've ever wanted in a football/soccer AU! *hugs* I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a very Happy New Year!!
