JJ & Janelle connected through their love of the beautiful game. Too shy to strike up initial conversation, a surprise football match on TV breaks the ice. Inviting Janelle to join his fantasy football league, JJ finds a way to keep the spark alive despite the space between them. Eventually, Janelle fans the flames with a playful snapchat, but it's not until the last minute of extra time that they secure promotion for their relationship.
