Alright! Let’s turn your cool idea into a structured story. Here's Episode 1 of your series:

🎬 Series Title: FIFA - When We Met

🕰️ Year: 1898

In a small European town, lived a man named Emil Baretto. He loved football more than anything, but sadly, he was terrible at it. Every kick was a miss, every pass went the wrong way. For two years, he tried playing for his local team, Oldstone United.

⚽ Emil's Football Career (1898–1900)

Club: Oldstone United

Appearances: 43

Goals: 1 (a lucky one)

Assists: 2

Trophies: 0

Position: Winger

Best Skill: Running fast... in the wrong direction 😅

🛑 Emil Quits Football

In 1900, Emil sat alone in his room and said to himself:

“If I can’t play football… maybe I can create football.”

That night, an idea sparked. Not to be a footballer — but to build the world of football.

👥 Emil Meets His Friend

Emil ran to his best friend’s house — Jules Martins.

Emil: “Jules! I’ve got it! What if we create a football organization?”

Jules: “Like a league?”

Emil: “Bigger… international!”

Jules: “What should we call it?”

Emil: “FIFA!”

Jules: “What does that mean?”

Emil: “Fédération Internationale de Football Association.”

Jules: “That sounds amazing!”

🎬 Episode: Emil Delegates Matchmaking

🕰️ Year: 1900

After the success of the first matchday, Emil and his friends were facing a new challenge: picking the teams for the next set of fixtures. Emil decided to give Thomas Gibb (English) and Henri Duclair (French) the task of selecting the matchups. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, given that they didn’t speak the same language fluently, but he believed it would push them to find creative solutions.

🗣️ The First Argument

Emil called Thomas and Henri into the small room they used for their meetings.

Emil: “Alright, you two will pick the matches for the next matchday. I trust you both to make this work.”

Thomas, a man who loved structure and order, rubbed his hands together. Henri, who was more passionate and impulsive, smiled but quickly started pacing around the room.

Thomas: “I think we should make sure the teams are balanced. I’ll take the first match.”

Henri (laughing): “Balanced? Ha! It’s about excitement, my friend! I’ll make the most interesting matchups.”

Their disagreement began almost instantly. They had different ideas about what would make a good game — Thomas wanted fairness, while Henri craved drama. The problem was that they didn’t speak the same language very well, which only made communication harder.

📝 The Struggle to Agree

Thomas's Thoughts:

He began writing down the teams, trying to match them based on form and strategy. He scribbled down:

Royal Lions FC vs Napoli Knights (both strong but not too overpowering)

Paris Sporting Club vs Oldstone United (a balanced matchup to give the underdogs a chance)

Thomas (muttering): "We need balance. The competition should be fair. Fans want fair matches."

Henri's Response:

Henri, who was already getting frustrated, threw down a list of his own. It was clear he was thinking about excitement more than fairness:

London Ironboots vs Genève Warriors (underdogs facing off — it could be a surprising battle)

Berlin Blazers vs Madrid Royals (two of the most intense teams, high-stakes clash)

Henri (raising his voice): “This is what people want! Drama, action, and a bit of chaos!”

🗣️ The Argument Escalates

Thomas and Henri stood face to face, arguing passionately. Thomas, trying to maintain order, said:

Thomas: “It’s not fair to put the strongest teams together so early. It will make the rest of the season predictable!”

Henri: “Who cares about that? People want to see the best clash! We have to build excitement. The league is still young. Let them see something spectacular!”

As the argument dragged on, Emil, who had been silently observing, stepped in.

Emil: “Enough! If we keep arguing, we’ll never move forward. Why don’t we each pick one match, and then we’ll agree on the last?”

✍️ The Compromise

After a few more tense moments, they finally agreed on the following matchups, each having selected one match and then compromised on the final one:

Royal Lions FC vs Napoli Knights

Paris Sporting Club vs Oldstone United

London Ironboots vs Genève Warriors

🏆 Matchday 2 Results

After the difficult process of picking the teams, the next set of matches arrived. The excitement was palpable.

Royal Lions FC 2 - 1 Napoli Knights

A hard-fought match, with Royal Lions FC edging out a win in the last 15 minutes thanks to a header from their star forward.

Paris Sporting Club 3 - 0 Oldstone United

Paris Sporting Club showed no mercy, dominating the match and scoring three goals with ease, leaving Oldstone United with no answer.

London Ironboots 1 - 2 Genève Warriors

An exciting match with lots of back and forth, but Genève Warriors managed to snatch a late winner after a swift counterattack.

🎬 Episode: Emil Discusses Award Categories with Jules, Thomas, and Marco

In this episode, Emil gathers with Jules, Thomas, and Marco to discuss the award categories for the season's final ceremony. The team is brainstorming ideas for new awards to be introduced, and Henri has come up with a brilliant idea. Emil is eager to get the process right as they prepare to give recognition to the players.

💬 Emil’s Discussion with Jules, Thomas, and Marco

The group meets in the office, where Emil is discussing the need to recognize the standout performances of the season.

Emil: "Alright, guys, we've had a great season, and now it’s time to give credit where it's due. Henri suggested a few ideas, and I think we should start by giving the Best Player of Each Position — it's only fair that we acknowledge players in every role. And, of course, we’ll have the Best Goal of the Year, which will be a fun one to pick."

Jules: "I like the idea of recognizing each position, but how do we define the Best Player of the Year? There are so many to choose from."

Marco: "It’s going to be tricky. We need to look at consistency, influence in matches, and how they’ve impacted their teams. But we can’t forget the Best Team of the Year as well."

Thomas: "I agree. The team with the best overall performance, the one who displayed the most cohesion, should win that. But we also need to make sure we choose a Best Goal of the Year that stands out — something truly special."

🔍 Award Categories and Finalizing the Process

Emil ponders and agrees with the suggestions. He quickly lays out the award categories, and each one has a specific focus. The group debates for a while on who should be eligible and what criteria to use for each award.

🏆 Final Award Categories:

Acknowledging the standout players in specific positions:

🤝 The Argument Process and Decision Making

The team has a lively discussion. Jules is passionate about rewarding the Best Goalkeeper for his contributions, while Marco argues that players like Richard Denton (Royal Lions FC) have been key in defense. They even consider James Turner (London Ironboots) as a potential for Best Forward due to his hat-tricks.

Emil: "I think it’s clear, but we need to be objective. We need to choose based on stats, influence, and the moments that made a difference."

🏅 The Final Award Winners

After much discussion, the team settles on the following winners:

Best Player of the Year:

Richard Denton (Royal Lions FC)

A consistent performer throughout the season, Denton’s leadership in defense and ability to score crucial goals made him stand out above all others.

Best Goalkeeper:

Bianchi had a fantastic season, with numerous match-winning saves and 10 clean sheets, securing his place as the top goalkeeper.

🎤 The Award Ceremony

With the awards now decided, it’s time for the ceremony. Emil gathers the teams together in a grand hall to present the awards. The players and coaches are eager to see who will take home the prestigious titles.

Emil: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for an incredible season! Let’s begin the ceremony. First, we’ll announce the Best Player of the Year…"

The audience applauds as Richard Denton steps up to collect his award.

Emil: "Now, let’s move on to the Best Team of the Year, and that honor goes to Royal Lions FC! Congratulations!"

Emil: "And now, for the most exciting award — Best Goal of the Year. Lucien Dufresne, take a bow for that unforgettable strike!"

The audience cheers, and Lucien smiles proudly as he receives the trophy.

As the awards continue, the room fills with applause, and the players celebrate their achievements. Emil ends the ceremony with a final speech.
