Well, to be fair, this is the only pairing I've had hook up! All the rest have been together practically since infancy ;).
It's quite unfair how the one or two star players on each team are blamed if they can't pull everyone else to a victory, I feel. I'm sure that both Ronaldo and Messi took their teams' losses very personally.
It's striking how much older Leo looks if you compare him with the shy, long-haired, baby-faced kid of four years ago. I'm glad that you thought I captured that well <3.
I did leave the ending open, waiting to see how the WC would end. And I'm happy to say that I have gotten a couple of requests for a sequel ;).
Most other people who write this pairing have Ronaldo come over and seduce Leo. I really enjoy taking the other tack, having Leo make the advances and Ronaldo not really knowing what hit him. Hee!
