"And it's a sunny day everyone . I hope you all had good sleep . Here's the headline for today :
Smokers of Geoffrey park arrested
Mob Skisez have finally been arrested
203 women have died in a terrible accident
I. Land FC to have their last game this season
Neto switches off the television and heads downstairs .
He prepared to leave for I. Land stadium . Arriving the kitchen , he could already smell a sumptous meal - Bacon and fried eggs .
"So , is this your last game?", Neto's mom asked him . "Just for this season ", Neto responded . She promised him that she would watch his last game .
"Mom , she's so ready to watch me play . It's not like I am playing today . If only she knew ", Neto thought .
The last game would be played that evening and since it was a school day , Neto went to school .
For the first time in his life , he never thought how much fun school was . Of course he was tense 'cause he knew if he didn't play that match , in no time , soon would he be sold out of I. Land FC . That was all Neto could think about .
"Dude , how do you feel about today ", Ben asked him . "Nope , not this time ", Neto responded . "Man , you don't play a lot of games , do you ?", Ben asked him in a somewhat low tune . Neto shook his head , "And I'm not sure if I would get a chance to play for them again ", he said , tearing , but cleaned it off before Ben could notice this
Ben did notice this , "He doesn't seem to be faring well there ", he thought .
"I know what'll make you feel better . Give me your phone". Ben requested . "Wha......
Neto was interrupted as Ben snatched his bag and grabbed his phone .
He typed a few buttons and gave Neto back his phone .
S.....e.....e . I just sent the trending soccer game to your phone , and connected us both , so ...... , Ben said .
Neto didn't have a clue . "So we can be playing , you dufus ". Ben whispered .
"In class ?" Neto suprised . "Of course , the teach' is in the front and we're at the back of the class . They'll never notice . So what do you say ?"
"Let's go for it ", Neto agreed . The game opened and Ben and Neto played online matches against each other . The first match was a win for Ben and the second and the third and the fourth........
Neto tried really hard in the last game which he drew 3 - 3 with Ben .
They decided to play another game and Neto decided to use I. Land ; on structuring his team , he was looking for himself to add in the game ; that's when he saw his player card.

The overall rating shook Neto . As he looked at his other parametres , his eyes couldn't just imagine . He then thought about if Yoo was right about his defense .
He wanted to see what would happen if he put his player card on the striker position to test Yoo's inference .
Man , the ratings were bleeding .

"This cannot be true", Neto thought . He played the game anyway . "I thought you were a Centre Back . Why are you putting yourself to strike?", Ben asked . "Just testing something", Neto said .
The match was going well till Ben banged a goal . Neto tried to keep up with Ben as he was losing on possession . 19% - 81%
It wasn't long before Ben banged two more goals and that sealed the first half.
In the second half , Neto tackled one of Ben's players using Michael and gave himself a pass . With the ball , he tried sprinting but the slightest touch from one of Ben's MFs tipped Neto( Striker ) off his balance and it was a counter attack for Ben , with which he scored another goal .
Not much later , Ben scored again . The match then dragged on till extra time . It was a corner kick for Ben's team .
"Man , is this where I would have been if I were a striker ?"
The whistle sounded and Ben took the corner kick , which was deflected by Rico way pass centre line . Two of Ben's CBs were running in and Neto ( Striker ) was chasing after the ball ahead of him . He was tailing one of the CB to his right but as soon as the CB reached the ball , for some reason, Neto shifted his analog stick towards the space between both CBs and stole the pass .
Since it was unexpected , Ben's CBs couldn't reach Neto on time . Neto was just one on one with the keeper . Airing the analog stick properly , he tapped the shoot button , giving I. Land a consolation goal .
In the game , I. Land players were all round Neto celebrating him for that goal . Neto ( Striker ) [ 90' + 5' ]
The match ended 5 - 1 and on Neto's phone , he saw an achievement earned : Scoring a goal with a below 50 rated player . As he slid the achievement message off the screen . He saw the time - 3 : 19 pm . Looking up , the class was totally empty . "Another mat..................", Ben soon realized the same thing too . "Have we been gaming that long ?", Neto thought . Just then , a security guard opened the door , instructing them to leave .
"Thanks for the game , man ", Neto was grateful . "Mmhuh , but you know your consolation goal was by luck , I was just taking it easy on you ", Ben said . "Yeah , I'm sure" , Neto said sarcastically . "But really , what made me aim for the pass ?"
The last game would be by 16 : 00 . Goal rush hour set in . Every house turned their sports channel . People who didn't have power supply turned on their generators . Betting stores were full that moment . Stadiums were full . People who didn't have access turned on matches live .
At 16 : 04 at the dot , goal rush began .
