Cup Stories

Evan Brooks is only eighteen when the football world decides he doesn't belong. Despite dominating a youth selection camp, the Chinese-Portuguese midfielder is cut without mercy, left with nothing but frustration, a lethal long pass, and a dream that should have ended before it began. Then Cristiano Ronaldo receives a final message from his dying mentor about a boy in white whose passes can split a pitch apart. That boy is Evan. Pulled from obscurity into Portugal's World Cup camp, Evan goes from university training ground to the biggest tournament on earth in the blink of an eye. He has the vision to find runners nobody else sees, the technique to turn half-chances into goals, and a mysterious Heart of the Pitch System that begins to awaken as the pressure rises. But talent alone means nothing when veterans doubt him, fans accuse him of buying his place, and every touch of the ball is judged under the glare of the world. As Portugal charges into a brutal World Cup run, Evan must grow fast enough to survive elite football, earn the trust of his teammates, and become the perfect partner for Ronaldo's last shot at immortality. Because on this stage, one pass can make history-and one mistake can end everything.

Ethan Sterling enters the 2026 World Cup as a substitute defender nobody expects to matter. Then Portugal falls three goals behind, the crowd turns vicious, and Ethan walks onto the field. What follows should be impossible. With ice-cold control, absurd vision, and a talent that seems to break the limits of the sport, Ethan drags Portugal from humiliation to glory in a comeback the world can't stop watching. Overnight, he becomes the most explosive name in football. He also becomes a threat. As match officials crack under pressure, anonymous accusations spread, and powerful interests move behind the scenes, Ethan realizes the tournament is being manipulated far beyond the ninety minutes on the pitch. Someone wants him disqualified. Someone wants his career destroyed. And when dirty tactics start reaching for his family, backing down is no longer an option. Armed with the mysterious Elite Football System and an unshakable will, Ethan fights on two fronts: against the strongest teams in the world and against the people trying to script the World Cup from the shadows. Beside legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, he isn't just chasing victory-he's forcing the entire football world to face a question it never wanted answered. If the game is rigged, how do you beat the people who own the rules?

As Evelyn slowly opens her eyes she looks over Lionel's shoulder and sees the hustle of all paparazzi that surrounded them. He was holding her tight as he pressed her closer to him. It wasn't much time left till the Fifa World Cup Russia 2018 started and Lionel didn't want to think that Neymar could try and steal Evelyn from him again. "She's not mine and that's what hurts the most." This is what he's been telling himself for a long time. Also he realized that when you're dreaming with a broken heart waking up is the hardest part. Everyone wonders what will happen when both Neymar and Lionel fall in love with the same girl. - Dedication for my best friend -

when three different personalities have to fight for one girl

The definition of the perfect girl would be Charlotte Beckett. She is the girl that everyone envy, and that they'd wish to be just like her. This girl has everything: a perfect boyfriend, great friends, money, love, and best of all popularity. Everything she desires is given to her, and life couldn’t seem to go better for her. But in Charlotte’s senior year, her perfect world starts crumbling apart. Pretenders and lies seem to be the things more present in her daily life, leaving Charlotte detached and broken. The only thing that holds this girl in one piece is the new boy: Nicholas Ferguson. This boy is irritating with his trademark sarcasm and million watt smile, managing to make Charlotte crazy every opportunity that he gets. But what if there is more to this boy? Nicholas Ferguson turns Charlotte’s perfect world upside down, and makes a question bounce round her head; “What if popularity isn’t the best thing after all?” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story by ZambieChicka and DelenaD
