P.S.:

: Zlatan Ibrahimović and 2002 FIFA World Cup belong to real and history.


After a while, Emily woke up. She looked to the gang. Dora-the-Kid just smiled about it, while the others danced. Kid told:

"Well well, I guess… you had waken up easily, right."

"Dora-the-Kid, if I didn't fell down so fast, I would listen more."

"You need to stop thinking so much about that. Just calm down."

She was pulled up by Dora-the-Kid. That American robot-cat always looked back, and then, he turned behind, and said: "Okay gang, it's time to celebrate if you want." and with the allow from Kid, they celebrated. It was the first time Emily joined the Fireside Danville as not a member of Fireside Girls troop. But Kid told to Eliza M. Feyerseid, the current chairman of the team.

"Are you sure, Eliza M. Feyerseid? She is not a member of…"

"In the emergency situation, we have only that chance, Kid."

"You know that, Eliza m. Feyerseid. I'm not only a man who appeared in Bosnia, Chechnya, Croatia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Lebanon because wars, but also a player who appeared in USA (1994 FIFA World Cup), France (1998 FIFA World Cup), Belgium/Netherlands (UEFA Euro 2000), South Korea/Japan (2002 FIFA World Cup), Portugal (UEFA Euro 2004), Germany (2006 FIFA World Cup) and South Africa (2010 FIFA World Cup). You think I don't know about soccer?"

"I see. You didn't appear only in the Civil Wars mostly in Islamic world, but also a fan of soccer."

"Yes. Before the championship, I was in Paris one year ago for a while to meet my old friend: Zlatan Ibrahimović…"

Flashback…

One year ago…

09:00 P.M

Paris, France

Dora-the-Kid: Paris är mycket vacker, är inte det? (Paris is very beautiful, isn't it?)

Zlatan Ibrahimović: Exakt, Dora-the-Kid och Dora-rinho. Tja, har jag tjänat för Paris Saint-Germain ett år, bröder. (Exactly, Dora-the-Kid and Dora-rinho. Well, I've served for Paris Saint-Germain for one year, brothers.)

Dora-rinho: Rätt. Jag missade dig när jag lämnade 1995 eller… 1996. Nu bor jag här med dig. (Right. I missed you when I left in 1995 or… 1996. Now I'm staying here with you.)

"I, Dora-rinho and Ibra were in Paris for a while. We talked quitely, with laughing and pranking. Suddenly, I heard something about him…

Zlatan Ibrahimović: Mina bröder, du behöver veta detta: Jag har en Bosnisk-kroatiska familj, men jag började som katolik.(My brothers, you need to know this: I have a Bosnian-Croatian family, but I began as a Catholic.)

Dora-the-Kid (surprised): Vad? Jag trodde det namnet betyda att du är Muslim. (What? I thought that name's mean you are Muslim.)

Dora-rinho: Vem bryr sig? Det är dags att spela nu. Kom så går vi. (Who care? It's time to play now. Let's go.)

Dora-rinho, my friend, knew that I and Ibra were talking about Ibra's family, but he still called us to play. So we played. When we were playing, suddenly I realized something similar…

Zlatan Ibrahimović: Vad är fel med dig, Dora-the-Kid? (What is wrong with you, Dora-the-Kid?)

Dora-the-Kid: Jag… jag… (I… I…)

I missed that time: I was in South Korea and Japan 2002, our first World Cup with all seven nations of my friends. The U.S.A. faced the home team South Korea, the guests Poland and Portugal. During the 2002 FIFA World Cup, I defeated Portugal 3-2, draw South Korea 1-1, and survived successfully, even I lost 1-3 against Poland. I and my nation advanced to the round of sixteen, where I beat Mexico 2-0. But after the defeat in quarter-final against Germany 0-1, I left Ulsan and returned home. My friends also left away. Later, Dora-rinho, represented Brazil, became the champion. But that time, we were growing these little girls up (see A New Year's Eve Story), so I didn't have that time. But in any way, I still prouded about my friend… and my brothers…

Zlatan Ibrahimović: Är du okej, Kid? Du ser trött. (Are you alright, Kid? You look tired.)

Dora-rinho: Hey, I guess we should let him sleep.

Dora-the-Kid: No, I'm fine. Thank you.

Zlatan Ibrahimović: Are you sure, Kid?

Dora-the-Kid: Yes, I'm sure. You know English, don't you?

Zlatan Ibrahimović: Well, in that case, I shall leave you alone.

I wouldn't think Ibrahimović would say that, but… he's nice. I like it. So I walked out from the Louvre Museum close to the Eiffel Tower, symbol of Paris. Then, I thought a lot about the soccer in Danville, so I decided someday, I must change Danville, like I did with Texas."

End flashback…

"That's all, Eliza."

"So, you have thought about soccer to Danville one year ago in France. And your history also explained why you very understand about soccer."

"Exactly. That is why I know soccer. Trust me, it won't be easy for you guys. Prepare yourselves, Eliza."

"So… in that case, hope you're fine. Thank you, Dora-the-Kid, cowboy from Texas."

"Thank you. It's time to stop the party."

Dora-the-Kid walked away. The gang did not realize it until they saw Kid was gone. They realised that Kid had left, so they went out. It was 09:30 P.M. Gretchen looked back to Kid, and she said: "Well, brother, you won't know that, or you have known it?" She walked too. Isabella also said goodnight to Phineas and the gang returned to their own house.


Next day…

10:05 A.M

Danville Local Stadium…

"Emily, it is your first time you join the team, the Fireside Danville Soccer Club. Have you prepared yesterday?" – Dora-rinho asked.

"I know. So I…"

"You're a goalkeeper from now." – Dora-rinho told. Then he ordered: "Okay people, training begins!" Then all began. Emily had become a goalkeeper replace Melahat. But Eliza M. Feyerseid still felt worried.

"Oh my. I wish someone could replace Melahat know about goalkeeper."


So… they had only 7 days before the championship… What will happen?
