Overview

United's under-12s are in Poland for a tournament. Goal-keeper Tomasz is very excited to be playing in his home country, but team captain Ryan thinks Poland are rubbish—in fact, he thinks everything Polish is rubbish. Ryan's behavior causes trouble both on and off the pitch. Can Ryan and Tomasz tackle their differences—or will Ryan's bullying foul United's chance of success?
