Eddie loves football just as much as his older brother Matthew. But the coach doesn't think that he's got what it takes. But when Matthew is forced to miss an important game, Eddie sees his chance of proving himself. Will he be able to find the shots to show everyone what a good striker he is?Eddie loves playing football, but his coach is always criticising him and the rest of the team don't give him any support. What's worse, his older brother, Matthew, is the best player in the school. But when Matthew falls ill, the team need a striker to step in at the last moment. At last, this is Eddie's chance to prove himself. Will he be able to live up to the challenge?
