This book is about two best friends that play together in their schools cup final and won but on
Sunday, rival teams come and they put their friendship in pause. On the match, pele scored a terrific goal and he ran towards the corner flag crazily as usual. That made the rangers angry. The crowd began to scream," RANGERS, RANGERS, RANGERS," while Tom scored. The next thing that they heard was "GOOOAAAALLL!" After that both teams made one normal goals and the score was 2-2. Luckily the friendship was again with them and was a good time to tie.

[Georgina Willetts · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was so boring it was the first one that Ive ever failed to finish. The main storyline is a football match and everything revolves around either a match or training.
Trust me if your not a football fan then AVOID this book.
