Description
United's under-twelves are in Poland for a tournament. Goal-keeper Tomasz is excited to play in his home country, but team captain Ryan has a different view.
Ryan thinks everything Polish is rubbish, and his behaviour causes trouble both on and off the pitch. Can he change his ways and work with Tomasz to help United succeed?
This story explores the challenges of teamwork, friendship and overcoming prejudice in a competitive sports environment.
