O receio diante do novo os aproximou de imediato, e uma amizade surgiu, mas, junto dela, vieram sentimentos intensos. Com o passar do tempo, os dois desenvolveram uma relação de amizade com benefícios, até que ela quase ruiu quando ambos foram convocados para jogar pelas seleções de seus respectivos países. Obrigados a jogar em lados opostos pela primeira vez, Isaak e Lucas tiveram que enfrentar não apenas um ao outro, mas também os sentimentos confusos que ainda restavam entre eles.

It's always refreshing to read World Cup stories during a World Cup, and this one was no exception. I'll admit that one of the main issues I have with novellas is that lingering feeling that they were supposed to be full-length books but got trimmed down. I didn't feel that too much here, but I do confess I wanted more access to the characters. I wish it had been a full book just so the couple's buildup could have been even more refreshing and interesting. For a big chunk of the story, I found myself yearning to see the actual background of how they met. We got it, sure, but mostly through "telling instead of showing" (likely due to the tight word count the author had to work with). Also, because I had just read another World Cup novella, the ending heavily reminded me of that other one. Other than that, it’s an interesting and well-written novella.
