*After showering, just before the game is due to start, Y/N and Mason sit down on the bench with the others*

Mason: It bugs me that I can't play now. I would have been in the starting 11. And if I'm unlucky, I might not be able to play for longer.

Y/N: It's better if you don't play today.

Mason: Yes, then we can watch the game together.

Y/N: Yes, that too, but it's not just a game, it's an important one.

Mason: Yes, it is, but what else did you think?

Y/N: Well, if you were to play today, you might just make your injury worse.

Mason: Yeah, theoretically you'd be right.

Ben: (from behind) She's not only theoretically right, Mase, but also theoretically.

Mason: Oh, now you're coming too or what?

*the three of you laugh*

Mason: No no, of course I'm fully aware that she's right.

Ben: Good.

Y/N: Of course I'm looking forward to watching the game with you from the outside.

Mason: Me too.

*The starting XI players now took to the field*

*This is the England line-up:

*After five minutes of playing*

Gareth: So the game hasn't started too badly.

Mason: Yeah, we've had three good chances.

Ben: Yeah, we just missed the post.

*But then in the 12' minute Sterling scores.

Jack: Jaaaa mannnn.

Raheem: Ey, such a nice cross you made Jack.

Jack: Thanks, but your goal was even better.

Raheem: Nonsense, that was a must

*on the bench*

Mason: Yaaaaaah

Y/N: The goal was wonderful (you hug each other)

Gareth: That's the way it has to be lads, keep it up!!!

Y/N: See, you can do it without you.

Mason: Haha.

*In the dressing room at half-time*

Gareth: Good performance guys, keep it up.

Kane: We'll win the game just for you Mase, so you can still play in this competition.

Phil: Exactly.

Harry Maguire: That's exactly how we do it

Mason: Thanks guys, that really means a lot.

Gareth: I'll make some more changes later.

Phil: At half time?

Gareth: Yeah, but just one change. I'll take you off Declan and put you on for Jordan Henderson.

Declan: Okay, that's fine.

Gareth: Later in the game I'll take Jack, Bukayo, Raheem and John Stones off and bring on Sancho, Tyrone, Jude and Rashford.

*The second half continued quietly until around the 70' minute, when it threatened to become dangerous*

*Czech Republic hit the crossbar*

Gareth: OMG, I've already seen that one inside.

*Czech Republic turned up the heat in the final minutes and created some very good chances.

Y/N: I can't watch anymore

Jack: (he was substituted in the second half) I haven't for a long time.

Declan: What if we lose our 1-0 lead, then we're out.

Y/N: What, 4 minutes of injury time left. I can't take any more.

Gareth: (Shouts onto the pitch) Guys, please pull yourselves together for another 4 minutes and keep the lead!!!

*When the referee finally blew the final whistle, all the England players ran off the pitch to join those on the bench*

Bellingham: We're through to the next round, yay!

Jack: I can't believe it, we've done it.

Mason: Congratulations, you've done well in the last few minutes.

Gareth: Congratulations to you guys too, of course. And Mason, we'll take you to the hospital now. We've already booked you in.

Mason: Yes, of course.

Jack: I'm coming too, I'm going to have a quick shower.

Gareth: Yes, that's fine. But don't be in a hurry, I've only booked Mason in for an hour and a half, so you can all celebrate together now.

Mason: Thank you, Gareth

Gareth: I'd love to, I know you guys by now.

Jack: Well then, before we shower we'll do a few songs with you Y/N and Mase in the dressing room.

Y/N: Yes, off we go then.

Mason: But not too fast.

Jack: Come on, I'll help you, you hobbledehoy.

*After everyone had their party and Jack had a shower, the four of you went to the hospital. The rest of the team took the bus back to the hotel*
