Oh man, thank you so much. This fic was difficult to write, but a year later it's my favorite thing I've written for this fandom, and it has so many personal feelings tied up in it -- about characterization, about the transfer and the World Cup -- that it's just... really gratifying to hear such complimentary things about it.Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment -- it really made me day to receive it. :)
