"If you're just now tuning in, thank you for join us tonight at the Portugal VS Spain match! It is 30:54 and we're still in the first half." Said the announcer.

Neymar and I were sitting in the normal sets...you know, the ones where Neymar could possibly be discovered? Yea, I told him several times but he insisted...

"The match is going pretty well to be honest." I commented.

"I know! Cristiano has actually had a lot of chances to score." Neymar also commented.

"Who's the goalie for Spain? He's really good...He actually managed to block all of Cristiano's shots..." I asked.

"Oh, that's David de Gea

"Oh, that's David de Gea. Everyone just calls him De Gea for short. He's really good, some even call him Iker's successor." He informed me.

"Ohhh ok so that's his name! I saw him yesterday when I visited the team." I explained.

"That brings me to something else...I see you're trusting the Spain team more now? Neymar Smiled.

"Yea." I smiled as well.

"And even Sergio? I know how much he got on your nerves." He raised an eyebrow.

"Yea. After I told him my situation, I think he started to understand where I was coming from. The guy even promised me that he'd play fair today." I smiled over at Sergio as he was playing on the field.

"Wow. I'm proud of you. It's nice that you're on good terms with them now. If there's anyone out there who can help you, it's those guys." He said.

"I know." I agreed.

Looking on to the field, I watched as the ball had been passed to Cristiano. Getting close enough, he kicked the ball, but once again De Gea blocked it. I could tell he was getting frustrated, it seemed as though nothing was working for him. He just needs to keep pushing.

"He's getting closer to scoring each time. The moment De Gea lets his guard down, Cristiano is going to score a goal." I said.

"Yea but the question is if De Gea is going to let up anytime soon or at all." Neymar said.

"Right." I agreed.

"Look at you trying to be an expert!" Neymar slyly nudged my side.

"Hey, I'm not calling myself an expert, I'm just being honest." I nudged back.

The referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the first half.

"Is it halftime already?" Neymar said, being surprised.

"I guess so. This match is pretty close, neither side has scored yet." I agreed.

"You're doing alright just keep it up!" I told Cristiano over the phone.

"I know but De Gea keeps blocking everything!" He slightly ranted.
