[Galaxy11 AU: A team composed entirely of forwards does exactly as well as you'd expect against ten-foot-tall aliens. The Galaxy11 are annihilated, and Earth falls to the Hurakan. One year into the invasion, Philipp Lahm decides it's up to him, and the few footballers who remain, to make things right.]

He’d lied to Thomas. Sometimes he still dreamed about the treble: floodlights on grass, the catch and give of his studs in the turf, Munich to London to Berlin, the heart-pounding rush of maybe, maybe, this time.
He never dreamed about what came after--not the motorcade to Marienplatz, not the banquet or the afterparty, not Basti curled drunk and affectionate into the crook of his neck. He was only ever on the pitch, alone, facing down the world, and when he woke it was with the dying songs of the crowd in his ears.
