9.


British Cultural Victory: I

Comments

Nah, he would say Socceroos - we call our men's team Socceroos and women's Matilda's

Cal

"Glen!" I said. "Named after Glendale Solutions?" Isn't it Glendale Logistics?

Tray D

Would he say 'the Roos' ?

Ted Steel

But never spelled Oz like that lol! Sorry we’re a wierd people and I’m realising just how precious with our identity. I’d personally write ‘The Socceroos bloody won the whole thing!’ Even people who don’t swear would do so when we bloody well win. I would actually like to see him swear every so every often as a wtf as he does seem quite softly spoken

Adam Aflalo

We would say just Aus (pronounced Oz)

SassyMcDefDoom

Yes I do but please suggest a correction!

Ted Steel

Love the chapter! Don’t know if you want these comments or not, but Australia’s dont use ‘Aussie’ in that context-like ever ! (Where you wrote ‘Aussie won it’). The only people who do are New Zealanders. Its a super wierd quirk of language

I think it has more to do with how Brooke is directly involved with the club as opposed to Emma, so she feels more like an add on and not central to the story which isn't exactly true. Emma acts as a counter balance to Max's personality flaws while also being the motivation for much of his character growth. That being said, I also think a Max/Brooke pairing would've worked out great. In fact, I was expecting Brooke to be attracted to Max instead of Zach. Starting with the fact that she realized how everything in the club revolves around Max, how he's just as hyper-competent as her if not more, and how he chased off Daddy Star, she should be into Max if anyone. Obviously it wouldn't have worked out coz he's got Emma, but it could have added a bit of tension and drama. I suppose it would have distracted from the football stuff, but could have worked if done in a subtle way that Max remained unaware and only Emma, Ruth and some of the other women picked up on it. Just a few hints here and there that Max didn't pick up on. Then Brooke gets over him but remains as one of his best supporters. Anyway, I don't really mind how it is now either.

Uncle Snoo

But he didnt sign anything, so maybe plot twist?

Such a satisfying chapter...and such upsetting AI hands...

Emma has the right number of fingers so that’s a point in her favour

hercule pyro

Oh I have missed this - I haven't been this hyped since late National League North. Get in!

BelligerentGnu

Pff! Heresy!

BelligerentGnu

Good fucking chapter

Viktor Nilsson

This chapter really was a treat for me. Thank you so much Ted.

Richard Carling

AI has a Nike contract, eh?

Eltirno

Poor Brooke, must have lost her pinkie in a horseriding accident growing up

Fraser

Killed it! These squad-building chapters are absolutely mint

Uncle Snoo

Im gonna be honest, I prefer Max/Brooks relationship over Max/Emma

Arash

Great use of the crappy AI picture! Once again, I'm ready to run through a wall for Max, but Ruth's diagnosis (seeing darkness where there is only sunshine) is SO true for him.

Geoff Urland

Love the pacing of the chapter. The way it starts to whirlwind when Max starts making all his moves. Can't wait to see how the team turns out

Weirwood

This squad will be an absolute menace by the end of the season. It'll be like clubbing seals. Tftc!
