u/Lucky-Sentence-593

In honor of the World Cup, I thought I'd recommend two of my favorite moderns set in the world of football/soccer.

The first, England Has Three Syllables, is located at A Happy Assembly. It was posted in 2010 and has great footnotes. Darcy is a football star, Elizabeth is a journalist.

The second, Off The Pitch, is really funny. and can be found at AO3 by Rosie J. I'll post the link in the comments. I think it originally posted in 2014. Great banter. Both former soccer players, now sports broadcasters.

Both are rated E for Everyone.
