J2 football (meaning: soccer) fics  
All right. I watched the world-cup preliminaries Netherlands vs Spain last night, and seriously... I NEED a soccer fic.

j2-AU for this, please, and I'd be really tremendously happy if it has them as professional soccer players (like "Topspin" or all the American Football fics, only with soccer), but I'd take more or less anything with them being involved with soccer.

Oh, I've read most if not all of the fics on J2-recs, so if you find new ones, that'd be especially amazing.
Other than the sport having an important role, I'm not picky about who is who and does what.

Mods: There is no tag for sports/professional athletes, could you ad one?

Haven't read it yet, but it looks good!
Title: Deflections (http://brokenhighways.livejournal.com/28954.html)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] brokenhighways
Summary: When star soccer player Jared Padalecki fails to impress after his big money move to Greenfield United, management decide to hire his former mentor Jensen Ackles, who is well known for his impressive, inspirational half-time sessions.

If you haven't already read it, I'd suggest After the Game (http://archiveofourown.org/works/882786) by [livejournal.com profile] alienat, from last year's SPN_J2_Bigbang. The link is to A03, but obviously it's on LJ too.

Summary: Jared loves two things the most: soccer and Jensen. If he could just figure out a way to have both and be happy, he’d be the happiest guy in the world.

I'm not sure, but I think I read anything from last year's bigbang. But I'll check it out and maybe read it again :-) Thanks for your help.

Cradle Verse (http://quasianpride.livejournal.com/tag/cradle!verse)
Jared doesn't entirely know how he got to be Jensen Ackles' roommate. It was an odd occurrence. Story of his life.

Call Me Freedom (http://bad-peppermint.livejournal.com/15058.html)
Jensen spends all year looking forward to summer, his own version of heaven: Two months of nothing but soccer, Jared, and soccer. The South Coast Summer Soccer Championships are his best chance to be recruited professionally once he graduates from high school, but this time, real life encroaches on his sanctuary. In the picture perfect confines of John Hart Academy, during the hottest summer in Texan history, Jensen tries to come to terms with his fellow players, his new position as captain of his team, and his confused sexuality. And then Jared kisses him. Struggling to make things work with his best friend turned boyfriend and his unaccepting teammates, Jensen is beginning to think that winning the Championships might turn out to be impossible.

With Benefits (hate!sex) (http://archiveofourown.org/series/8877)
Jared's the only sophomore on the Varsity soccer team, so he thinks he's a little better than dirt, but Jensen Ackles might not agree. But that's okay, because Jensen Ackles is a first-class douchebag.

soccer 'verse (http://archiveofourown.org/series/69496)
Jensen coaches pee wee soccer, coaches Jared's kid, and he's definitely not crushing on Jared. Seriously, he's not. Except, he totally is.


After the England game i just had to run off & read the Cradle verse, so i know how you feel

Oh cool! Thank you, I will read them all. I read the soccer-verse definitely, but the others look new to me.
And
