you can be josh or someone else.

you played for FC Cincinnati. Tyler played for Columbus crew. you were very much rival teams. but specifically you and Joseph often had unsettled discourse that hadn’t even been spoken out on the pitch. over the past two seasons you had caused each other at least 3 red cards.

and once you found out you were scouted for the US international, along with tyler, your burning hatred for him only grew, and your sure it was the same on his half too.

that morning you woke up in your hotel outside of Cincinnati national airport, where you got the plane to Georgia where you’d be meeting your international team, manager, ect.

you would find out your groups for the world cup soon.

you were walking into the stadium with your good friend and health and safety assistant, mark eshleman, dark blue USA training tracksuit on and duffel bag over your shoulder.
