Football is not about life or death - it is far more important!


FC Mezzi is starting a new season, and they must learn to play nine a side. It is a new kind of game with a bigger field and offside rules. They even have their own clubhouse, and they are consecrating it with a horror sleepover. Jake holds Ursula's hand in the darkness. Is she becoming his first girlfriend? Then he hears that the girls are thinking about quitting the team to play tennis. Suddenly Jake stops behaving like a proper captain.
