That day, all players are doing some light training as Berhalter didn't want any players to get injured before their final match against their top rival; Mexico.

"Mexico again, huh" said Sargent.

"Well, who else. It's always us against them in the final" replied Aaron.

"Yeah. It's getting boring here" said Weah.

"Boys, less talking more shooting, please" said Berhalter.

Later on;

Aaron walked to hotel with Mal, Rose and Tierna.

"Do you girls really need to walk with me? You can go back with the bus though" said Aaron.

"Well, we're think it's better this way" replied Rose.

"That's true. Who knows if you're having fun without us; your bestfriends" said Tierna.

"So what if I do?" asked Aaron.

"Uh-huh. So you do having fun without us, huh" said Rose.

"Not quite. Besides, there is a nuisance that will disturb me nowadays" replied Aaron.

"He's still here?" asked Mal.

"Who knows" replied Aaron.

"Never mind that. Now, Aaron. What's the deal between you and Dr Adriana?" asked Rose.

"She's an old aquaintance" replied Aaron.

"How old?" asked Tierna.

"Since high school" replied Aaron.

"Smart girl like that normally a nerd. Do you ever bully her?" asked Mal.

"No. I never being a bully. Besides, if I ever bully her, do you think she will ever talk to me right now?" asked Aaron.

"That's right though. Besides, you both looks good together" replied Rose.

"Totally agreed with that" said Mal.

"Yeah, right. Really funny, ladies" replied Aaron as they continued walking.

That night;

Aaron is sitting on a chair at the pool side with his guitar.

"Sounds good, little bro" said Alex that came by.

"Hey, sis" greeted Aaron as Alex took a seat besides him.

"So, this is what you do when you're alone, huh" said Alex.

"Yeah. Where's Charlie anyway?" asked Aaron.

"I left her in the room with Tobin" replied Alex.

"Why don't you bring her with you?" asked Aaron.

"Because I want to spend some time with my only brother here" replied Alex. Aaron grinned.

"Still wondering why I love you so much?" said Aaron.

"So, is everything okay for you so far?" asked Alex.

"I guess so" replied Aaron.

"Already move on from Millie?" asked Alex.

"I don't know, sis. Half of me didn't care about her anymore. While another half still thinking about her" replied Aaron.

"Totally understandable. She's your first girlfriend after all. But you deserved to be happy too. Why don't you find someone else too. Maybe then you can move on" said Alex.

"I don't know if it's time to do so. For now, I just follow my current path. That's all" replied Aaron.

"Anything suits you, little bro. Just to remind you this; if you need someone to talk to, I'm just a FaceTime away as usual" said Alex.

"I know that, sis. You always there for me" replied Aaron.

"So, what's the deal between you and Dr Adriana?" asked Alex.

"Where even that come from?" asked Aaron in returned.

"Just answer it, will you" said Alex.

"Nothing special. We just talk normally" replied Aaron.

"Not interested on her?" asked Alex.

"I was during high school. But now, I need to know her well first" replied Aaron.

"Did you ever bully her?" asked Alex.

"No. Not only her, I never bully anyone in high school. That's why Dr Adriana and I can be friends that easy" replied Aaron.

"I see. I'm glad that you're making progress in your life after that mess" said Alex.

"Well, life must go on. Besides, anything happened for a reason. I mean, if I didn't break up with Millie, I might lose my guitarist skill forever. But now, I can even performed with 1 of the Big 4 of thrash metal" replied Aaron.

"That's true" said Alex. Suddenly;

"Uh-huh. There he is" Aaron and Alex turned around and saw Rose, Mal and Tierna approached them while holding their guitars.

"Aren't you suppose to teach us guitar?" asked Mal.

"What, I already taught you yesterday" replied Aaron.

"That's just an intro. Now, teach us right here" said Tierna as she and the rest took their seat nearby.

"Don't you girls realised that I'm here?" asked Alex.

"Yeah. But still, he needs to teach us" replied Rose.

"You girls are lucky because you're my bestfriends. If not, I can easily make money from you" said Aaron. The rest just giggled.

Meanwhile;

Ayewb just arrived back in Manchester where Millie was there to pick him up.

"Seriously, babe. Why don't you take a taxi or something? It's already past my bedtime" said Millie.

"A soccer star like me taking taxi? My standard is not as low as your ex-boyfriend. I have my own class. Besides, the car you're drive right now is mine. Did Morgan ever let you drive his car?" asked Ayewb.

"No, because..." before Millie can finished her words, Ayewb cuts her off.

"Then, better be grateful" said Ayewb.

"Fine!" replied Millie.

"Look, babe. I'm sorry if I offend you. I'm just tired. Not to mention, that Morgan pissed me off when I was there. Not to mention, the whole USWNT players that will be part of Olympic Games shoved me away" said Ayewb.

"They what? I swear I'll give them some lecture in Tokyo" replied Millie.

"You always have my back. That's why I love you" said Ayewb.

"Awww, I love you too" replied Millie.

2 days later;

All USA players arrived at Empower Field at Mile High as they will face Mexico in the final of CONCACAF Nations League.

"Full house, huh" said Adams.

"Well, it's final after all" replied Pulisic.

"But I'm sure that there might be some scouts among all these spectators" said Aaron.

"Well, we just need to win then" said Miazga.

"That's true. Especially when they defeated us in the Gold Cup final last year" replied Aaron.

"That's true. Time to get our pride back" said Pulisic.

Starting Line-up of the match

USA 1st Eleven: Steffen (GK), Palmer-Brown (RCB), Miazga (CB), Brooks (LCB), Adams (RCM), McKennie (LCM), Dest (RM), Pulisic (LM), Aaronsson (AM), Morgan (CF), Sargent (CF)

Mexico 1st Eleven: Ochoa (GK), Rodríguez (RB), Salcedo (CB), Moreno (CB), Gallardo (LB), dos Santos (RCM), Álvarez (CM), Guardado (LCM), Antuna (RWF), Jiménez (CF), Pizarro (LWF)

"3-5-2, huh. Berhalter is setting for an all out attack here" said Kelley.

"Against a strong team like Mexico, the best defence is by attacking" replied Carli.

"That's true" said Alex.

Later on;

It is already 35 minutes in the match but both teams still can't open the score.

"What a showdown between these 2" said Mal.

"Well, that's what rival means. Just like us and Canadian ladies" replied Lindsey.

"That's right. I can feel the intensity" said Tierna.

That moment, the ball is with Adams. He then sent the ball to Dest. Dest then runs with the ball at the right flank before sent it into Mexican's penalty box. Sargent then jumped high before heads the ball into the net to give USA a 1-0 lead as the whole American supporters cheer.

"Finally, it's a goal for us!" yelled Rose.

"C'mon, boys. Bring it home!" said Tierna.

Half time;

The result right now is 1-1 after Guardado scored an equaliser for Mexico.

"As expected. Mexico won't let us win easily" said Miazga.

"Well, if they do, it will pissed us off after all" said McKennie.

"Especially the Premier League's top scorer here" said Pulisic. Aaron chuckled.

"Well, if they do, it means that they disrespect us. I might ended up punch them after the match" replied Aaron.

"At least you didn't bite them" said Dest.

"Dude, I'm Aaron Morgan. Not Luis Suárez" replied Aaron. Later on, Berhalter came in to talk about his tactical for the 2nd half.

Meanwhile in London;

Some England players are watching the match from their hotel.

"This is quite interesting" said Greenwood.

"Well, I expect no less than this from 2 rivals" replied Chris.

"But I'm sure USA already lose it if Ayewb plays. This match has such a fast tempo" said Rashford.

"Well, I think Ayewb will stay for about 10 minutes before collapse" said Greenwood.

"That's what he got for skipping practice" said Chris then.

Later on;

The match is now on the second half. 15 minutes after the match resumed, Mexico took a lead after Jiménez scored the 2nd goal for his team. On the 70th minute of the match, USA was awarded a freekick 22-metres from the goal.

"C'mon, Aaron! Score the goal!" yelled Kelley.

"I wonder what type of shots will he use this time" said Cristen.

"This is what interesting about him" said Tobin.

"Unless you're the goalkeeper for his opponent's team" replied Alyssa.

"Completely agreed with that" said Ashlynn.

"It's not that you'll ever face him though" said Syd.

"Yeah but we're facing 3 girls that trained by him" replied Alyssa. Mal, Rose and Tierna just giggled. Meanwhile, after the referee blew his whistle, Aaron dashed towards the ball and

"Damn that angle" said Rose.

"That's true. Not to mention, he scored with his weak foot" said Tierna.

"Well, his weak foot is not really weak after all" replied Mal.

"But what amazed me is that he still can calm down with such a big pressure on him" said Moe.

"Well, I think he just get used to it after play in England" replied Alex.

"With everything he had to go through since last year, this pressure means nothing" said Kelley.

10 minutes before full time;

The score is still 2-2 as players from both teams desperated to find a winning goal.

"C'mon, boys! 10 minutes left!" said Tierna.

"C'mon! Bring it home!" said Mal then. That moment, the ball is with dos Santos. He tried to send it long to Pizarro but Adams managed to intercept it before quickly sent the ball to Aaronsson. Aaronsson then quickly run with the ball before sent it through into Mexican's penalty box. Both Aaron and Ochoa dashed towards the ball. Unfortunately for Ochoa, Aaron managed to reach the ball first before chipped it towards the goal. Ochoa tried to reach for the ball...

"Please goal" said Lindsey.

"I can't watch this" said Crystal.

Despite Ochoa managed to reach the ball, he only managed to touch it with his finger tips before the ball enters the net.

"GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!" cheered the whole stadium.

"WE LOVE YOU, MORGAN!" yelled Lindsey.

"THAT'S TRUE! YOU ARE THE HERO!" said Mal then. Few minutes later, the referee blew his whistle for full time. Every players, coaching and medical staffs, together with their supporters celebrated their win as they are now the 1st CONCACAF Nations League champion.

"Congratulation, star. You're the hero" said Dr Adriana as she and Aaron had a quick hug.

"Thanks, Doc" replied Aaron. Later on, the victory ceremony was held.

"He's a hero now, Lex" said Kelley.

"That's what we said. But I'm sure it's not enough for him" replied Alex.

"That's true. He always want to win the World Cup after all" said Kelley.

"That's true. That's why he always gives everything while play in a match" replied Alex as the celebration continued.
