Goal Squad 2: Football Fever

Mo's luck has just run out. What will he do now?

When a talent scout spots Mo's dribbling skills, the left-winger earns a trial at Westwood Football Academy. Thank goodness for his lucky supermarket bag! Mo counts on it to play his best. But the morning of his first trial, his bag falls apart - and Mo must find new lucky charms. He tries lucky socks, a lucky ritual and even brings his cat - called Lucky - to the final, crucial game. But thanks to his friends from Tigers football team, plus a new teammate at Westwood, Mo's about to discover that he already has everything he needs ... in his feet and his brain.

Can Mo prove himself and win an academy place?
