An amazing thing happened last month Australia beat England at Soccer. 3-1 was the score. Finally after humiliating them at every MINOR, small and insignificant sport eg: Tennis, Cricket, Swimming, and any OTHER sport we happen to play them at we managed to beat them at Soccer. What I want to know is has any other country heard about this or has England's M-15 managed to hush this one up. Sorry I know I'm bragging but I can't help it I'm very big on national pride. Well right up tho the point on where I have to do something (.

First off I would like to give a huge thanks to Swiss Army Knife who gave me an excellent review and encouraged me to keep writing this fanfic. And another huge thankyou to Tim333 who also gave me praise but said it should be longer. Sorry Tim but it's a lot easier to read fan fictions over 5000 word than to write them as ive found out though you do it quite well I should probably review your story since I haven't done so for a few chapters.

Krillin walked off the field amid the cheers of the Sidekicks' fans. It had been a great season so far for Krillin he had played in 8 out of the 10 games this season and in every one of them, Krillin had played amazingly.

Krillin had scored two hattricks so far this season and was the most talked about player in the fourth division. This actually ment very little Krillin knew since the media basically ignored fourth division matches and players.

The Sidekicks had welcomed Krillin back with open arms and set him as the teams starting striker. They had listened to his advice when he gave it and they played well as a team.

Krillin and the rest of the Sidekicks walked into the locker room and sat down waiting for the coach to speak. Unlike the Monks coach, the Coach for the Sidekicks was a really easy going guy, he loved the sport and he loved coaching and he got on well with all of the players and the players got on well with him.

"This is a great game boys" the coach started "we're up 2-0 at half time and their defence is in shambles all we need to do is be patient and play the ball and we should be able to keep them scoreless." The players all nodded and grinned at each other. They all knew that if they won this game by 2 goals or more they would be the league leaders. "Krillin you're in midfield for the rest of the game" the said to Krillin before moving on.

Most of the team looked confused, Krillin had scored both their goals in the first half so why was he being put back in midfield.

Krillin knew why, the coach knew that Krillin was on a one-year contract and he didn't want to rely on Krillin to score too much, cause if Krillin scored all the Goals where did that leave them next year when he left.

When Krillin and the team jogged back onto the field the crowd started up cheering again. "Well it looks like this capacity crowd is ready to see the end of this match" the announcer spoke "and here comes Chestnut in the number 12 shirt." "Yeah Chris, Krillin Chestnut has had an amazing year despite being shuffled around the field like a chess piece," the other announcer spoke up. "That's right John, young Chestnut has only played two full games as a Striker, he's been put back in midfield 4 times after the first half and twice put back in defence," Chris spoke up "Yeah it's a wonder he's scored as many goals as he has, the Sidekick's coach has come under fire more than once from the fans, the Sidekick's chairman and even Krillin's manager has had a go at him." John added. Krillin winced Bulma was so uptight and she lost her temper so easy. "The only person not complaining here is Chestnut maybe there's a reason for that."

Krillin tuned them out, were they soccer announcers or talk show hosts. Krillin got into position and waited for the whistle to announce the kick off for the second half.

The whistle blew and the second half was started.

The team they were playing against were called the Minors and was 6th on the ladder but this early on in the league it ment nothing, they were pretty good.

The guy that was taking Krillin's place as Striker was called Rael, Rael passed the ball back to Krillin and that was the start of the second half. Krillin took the ball up the field at a slow pace allowing his team to get a head of him and get ready to receive the ball.

Krillin noticed that there was a large gap to the left side of the field that opened up possibilities. Krillin ran forward keeping the ball close ahead of him. The second Krillin started to run he was marked by three men.

Krillin managed to keep a meter or so ahead of the defenders that were after him. Looking to his right he noticed Rael keeping just behind the last defender, waiting for the pass. Krillin grinned and crossed the ball the ball flew smoothly threw the air all the way to where Rael was.

Rael tried to head the ball but the goalkeeper noticed what was happening ran forward and punched the ball away. A groan went up from the Sidekick's supporters. The ball went flying out towards one of the Sidekick's midfielders who took a shot at goal. The Minor's Keeper caught the ball effortlessly. Krillin shook his head as he ran back up the field.

"Hey guys don't always try to make the shot wait for the right opportunity to come." Krillin shouted. The Keeper kicked the ball down the field and Krillin got back to the game.

The ball was basically moved around for twenty minutes, both teams had made runs at goals and even though there were some good shots at goal no one had scored.

There was only ten minutes left in the game when Krillin intercepted a lazy pass intended for one of the Minors midfielders. He ran off down the field keeping to the left side. Keeping the ahead of the tired defender assigned to mark him Krillin looked around the field for some one to pass to. Krillin couldn't see anyone, as he was about to go for goal himself he noticed that Rael was sprinting down the field.

To give Rael time to get into place Krillin suddenly stopped and turned, the defender assigned to mark him couldn't stop and ran straight passed him. Krillin grinned and sent the ball along the ground 5 meters ahead of where Rael was.

The Goalkeeper probably thinking he could get to the ball before Rael took a few steps forward before realising that he wouldn't make it in time went to move back. That's when Rael made his shot. The Goal Keeper out of position couldn't even get a hand on it as the ball shot into the top left hand corner of the net.

"GOOOAAAAAALLL" the commentators screamed it their mikes "Now that was a goal" Chris spoke up "I know it was a lucky shot though it wouldn't have taken much make that one go over." John said excitedly "Poor Yajirobee he has put up an amazing effort only for it to be belittled by the 3-0 score." Chris added "And what of Chestnut's part of the goal, that was one amazing assist" "That was a textbook pass absolutely flawless" "The pass may have been to a textbook but the way he lost his defender was a style of his own." "Yes it was truly amazing Chestnut is in a league of his own."

Krillin ignored them what they said didn't matter. "Nice shot Rael Krillin yelled giving Rael a pat on the back as they jogged back down the field. Rael just grinned.

That was basically it for the game there was only 7 minutes left when Rael scored and despite two magnificent shots one by Krillin and one by Rael the score stayed at 3-0.

"Great game guys you all played amazingly." The coach said as they entered the changing rooms. The Sidekick's fans were still cheering.

In their first season in the fourth division they were on top of the ladder. "Ok boys shower then go home and rest," the coach said patting Rael on the back. "Krillin Bulma wants you to call her she has something she want to tell you." Krillin turned completely red as the team wolf whistled him out the door.

Krillin picked up the phone and called Bulma still blushing at some of his teammates suggestions and catcalls. The phone rang twice before Bulma answered it. "Hello Bulma speaking" Bulma's voice said "Hey Bulma what's up, coach said you wanted me to call." "How did the game go Krillin?" Bulma asked instantly. "It was great we won 3-0 nil" Krillin was enthusiastic. "Not the team your game, how did you play?" Bulma said emphasising the word you. "Pretty good two goals in the first half and an assist and a couple of good shot at goal in the second" Krillin said not quite as enthusiastic. "You only played one half as striker didn't you" Bulma accused. "Come on Bulma I played in midfield in the second and the assist was pretty good." Krillin said. "Krillin unless you start to play as striker all the time you won't be taken seriously" Bulma sighed "but that's not why I wanted you to call me." "You're selected to try out for the U/17s next month so you have to look good ok no more switching positions ok"

Krillin was excited he knew what playing in the U/17s ment, the U/17s isn't a school soccer match though a lot of the players were still in school. No the U/17s was the under 17 NATIONAL squad. Krillin couldn't believe it he might be able to play for his country against countries like Brazil, France, Italy and England.

Krillin thanked Bulma before hanging up the phone he had to tell coach. "Hey coach" Krillin called "What is it Chestnut" "Umm Bulma and I were wondering if I could play one or two full games as striker?" Krillin asked. The coach started to shake his head and said, "You know why I don't Krillin" Krillin nodded "Yeah I do but in a few weeks the U/17s are being selected and I want to be in the team." 'Is that why Bulma called?" Krillin nodded.

"Okay next weeks game and the one on Thursday you play for the whole game?" Krillin grinned, "Thanks coach." "Now I need to think who to play as Striker while your gone" Coach said thoughtfully. "What about Rael he plays well and he shot that rocket of a goal today." Krillin suggested. "Maybe but I don't think he'll be enough though." the Coach said thinking to himself. "Well until December I'll only miss at the most three games, and then transfers are open again and if you don't think Rael's up to being a starting Striker then buy some one." "Good idea Krillin thanks" "No problem coach" Krillin turned and walked into the showers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The U/17s team selectors were sitting around a table looking at each other. "Alright that's the midfielders that are available what about Strikers and Forwards lets have some options." " Hercule Satan is the first option he is quick powerful and accurate" a voice spoke up. "Yes he seems a bit self centred though wouldn't he be a liability." A second voice spoke up. "He talks about being the worlds greatest striker but he doesn't hog the ball plus the crowd loves him." The first voice spoke again there were murmurs of agreement at this. "Alright we agree that Hercule is a good striker what are out other options." The spokesman said.

"How about Arin Kaos, he is the reserve striker for the 'Knights in second division." The second voice offered. "He's not bad but he hasn't played much this year he just his first game today" a third voice said. "Arin Kaos is also an option are there any more?" asked the spokesman This continued on until..

"What about Krillin Chestnut he's in fourth Division and he's playing really well" the first voice was speaking again. "But Chestnut is an option for Goalkeeper, Defender and Midfielder. He can't be up for Forward as well." The second voice objected. "But up Forward is Krillin best place already he's scored 15 goals this year." The third voice said. "He is an option for many positions but his true skill lies in his goal scoring ability so he is an option for the Forward line." The spokesman said. "If that is all let us adjourn for the night."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Krillin sprinted down the field an awful pass by one of the defenders sent the ball rocketing past him and making it stop three meters out side the goal square. Krillin was a meter or so ahead of the closest defender. Currently the Sidekicks were playing the second ranked team in the League, the Demons. The Demons were a relegated third division team and they wanted to finish this year on top.

Krillin also knew today was the last day he had to impress any National Scouts who were watching. Today was Saturday, on Thursday he had played Striker for the entire game and he managed to score a hatrick and he managed to assist in scoring another two goals, so far Krillin had scored three goals already and if he got to this ball on time he could make it four.

Krillin was about a meter and half away from the ball when the Demons panicked Goalkeeper decided to make a run for the ball. It was a wasted effort, Krillin reached it first. Krillin had just touched the ball when the Demons keeper leapt at him. This was an illegal move to say the least the keeper had arms spread out so Krillin couldn't dodge him. Krillin saw the Keeper going up so Krillin instinctively dropped down noticing his feet hit the ball, which shot forward. The keeper's knee caught Krillin on the spot where his nose should have been.

Krillin's entire face exploded in pain, he lay there holding his face in his hands. The crowd was on their feet booing the Goalkeeper. His teammates and various medical staff surrounded Krillin within seconds. They helped him up and the medical staff checked his face. "Did it go in guys?" asked wincing as one of the medical staff probed his nose area with his fingers. "Krillin it looked awesome it went right in." one of the team said excitedly.

"Sorry I'm afraid you can't finish this game there seems to be bone where your nose should be" said one of the staff. Krillin shook his head and his vision swam, "it's always been like that." "Yeah well now it's broken" the staff replied. Krillin groaned he was going to be out for weeks. Krillin walked off the field being led by one of the staff and his coach.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well that was interesting" said a young man he had shoulder length black hair. He looked like he was 18 or 19 and like he didn't eat much. "He was good" said man he was a giant of man and looked to be in his late twenties with a red hair. "Yes he would make a great addition to the team." An old man was speaking now he had white hair and light brown skin. "How long is his contract with these fools for?"

A small fat pale skinned man spoke up his voice sounded tinny like those old Gramophones, "Well it seems that his contract expires at the end of the season but he might be playing in the U/17's this year." "How old is he?" asked the black haired man. "He turns 17 in the last week of the season." The pale man said again. "How many teams have shown interest in him this?" the old man asked "None officially have approached him Dr, but a few have made inquires about him." "Who" the Dr. asked "Well the Saiyans have, so have the Orange Star Reserves, as have his old team the Monks." the Pale faced man was interrupted by the young mat with the black hair. "Also Red Ribbon has too." "We have?" asked the Dr. "Just now" the young man chuckled for a second then noticing the frowns of his companions he added "Well I thought it was funny, oh look the games starting again" "It doesn't matter we're leaving" the Dr stood up and left. The rest of them got up and followed.

----------------------------------------------------------

Krillin was lying on his back. After being checked out by the Doctor it turned out that the bone where his nose should be wasn't broken just fractured and he'd be able to play in three weeks.

The rest of the team came in. "Hey Krillin are you OK?" "How long are you out for?" "That goal was AWESOME" Krillin just grinned but didn't say anything. Krillin lay back and closed his eyes. -----------------------------------------------

"HE"S INJURED" screamed Bulma There was some talking on the phone "THAT LONG" Some more talking. "Oh all right I suppose tell him I'll see him tomorrow" Bulma hanged up the phone.

"Bad news?" Yamcha asked. "Yeah one of my other clients is injured and will be out for three weeks which will jeopardise his chances for the U/17s." Bulma said "Who is it?" Goku asked "You probably don't remember him but he played for the Monks last year, Krillin Chestnut's his name." Bulma answered. "He's not 17 yet," Yamcha said looking shocked. "Wow for someone whose only 16 he was a good goalie" Goku added. Piccolo snarled "He made us look like fools last year." Bulma's other client smirked. "But that's not the really embarrassing bit." All the heads in the room looked up.

"What do you mean?" said Yamcha "Yeah spit it out" ordered Piccolo. Vegeta's smirk turned into a chuckle. "Well he's not even a full time goalkeeper, he's a striker, that game was his first time in Goal." With that Vegeta burst out laughing. "WHAT" three voices said out loud two sounded angry one merely surprised. "WOW he was good" Goku said. "He wasn't even a proper goalkeeper," said Yamcha. "How do you know this Vegeta?" asked Piccolo. Vegeta didn't say anything he just smirked. "Because Krillin turned down the Saiyans when they offered him a position as a Striker for there team." said Bulma calmly. Vegeta stopped laughing and growled.

"And look where he is now in fourth division playing for a third rate team and now he's injured." "He's doing very well for himself but this isn't the reason you're here." Bulma said. "Why are we here?" asked Yamcha. "Wait a second there are some more people to come." Bulma said. "Who?" asked Piccolo Just then Tien and Chaotzu ran through the door.

"Sorry we're late" Tien said They both looked tired. Chaotzu was a new addition to the reserves only joined that year even so he had managed to make a name for himself as an amazing defender.

"Good now that we're all here let's talk, you all have been chosen to try out for the U/21 national team next month." Bulma said There was an intake of breath then.. "ALL RIGHT" "Are you serious." "COOL" "This will be a chance to show the world how superior my skills are." "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT" "Goku stop yelling in my ear" "THIS IS.. oh sorry Piccolo" Bulma grinned she was in control of 6 of the most likely starting eleven she was going to make a fortune."

---------------------------------------------- Krillin sat down on the couch he was bored already it was going to be a long three weeks..

Probably not the best ending to a story but it might keep you coming back.
