[male narrator] "Red Vs. Blues."

James is a very proud engine.

He loves chugging around Sodor

and showing off his dashing red livery.

[whistle toots]

However...

[car horn honks]

Sodor United wear blue.

[horn honking]

So on a match day, everywhere Thomas goes,

he gets cheered by all the soccer fans

because he'’s painted blue.

[whistle toots]

[train engine chugging]

They also cheer Edward,

because he'’s blue, too.

[whistle toots]

[people cheering]

But they don'’t cheer for James

because he'’s painted red.

Early one morning,

James and Thomas were summoned by Sir Topham Hatt.

Hello, Thomas.

Good morning, James.

[both] Good morning, sir.

Sodor United have a big match today against Barrow.

[indistinct conversations]

And I am refereeing the game.

Oh.

[all muttering]

There will be a lot of extra passengers today,

so the two of you must work together

to take them back and forth to the soccer field at Dryaw.

Yes, sir. Work together!

You can count on us, sir.

Over here.

Here you go, lads.

[grunts]

[man] Ooh.

[glass shatters]

[man whistles]

[man] Who kicked that ball?

Oh, uh...

Yes, well.

It'’s going to be a busy day for all of us, so...

[clears throat] On your way, you two.

[car door slams]

Yes, sir.

Right away, sir.

[whistles toot]

[narrator] As usual, when the Sodor soccer fans saw Thomas,

they gave a big cheer.

[whistle toots]

James went to pick up the Barrow fans,

who had come by ferry from the mainland.

[people cheering]

They'’re all wearing red!

Look, lads.

That engine'’s red.

He must be a Barrow fan, too.

Oh, yes! That'’s me!

[all chanting] Red engine. Red engine.

[whistle toots]

Come on, you reds!

[fans chanting] Red engine. Red engine.

[engines chugging]

Wow, James.

The Barrow fans are wearing red.

That'’s right, Thomas.

It'’s reds versus blues today.

I wonder who will win.

The red team or the blue team!

Well, let'’s see who'’s the best then.

Shall we?

Now, boys.

I thought you two

were supposed to be working together.

[both exclaim]

[narrator] As they went to pick up their passengers,

they were both determined to be the faster engine.

[people cheering]

[whistle toots]

[whistle toots]

[whistles toot]

[narrator] At Dryaw soccer ground,

Thomas and James waited impatiently

for their passengers to disembark.

They still wanted to prove who was best.

Reds... or blues.

[whistle blows]

[laughs]

Red'’s out in front again, Thomas.

But, James, I... Oh.

[narrator] With not long to go before the game,

James had one more load of passengers to collect.

Hurry up, slow coaches.

[whistle toots]

Don'’t you want the red team to win?

[narrator] James wanted to get to Dryaw Station before Thomas,

so he decided not to wait.

But then there was trouble.

[whistle blowing]

Those slow coaches weren'’t just any passengers.

They were the Barrow soccer team.

Without them, there could be no soccer match.

Meanwhile, Thomas was so determined

to get to Dryaw Station before James

that he didn'’t stop at Kellsthorpe Station

where the referee, Sir Topham Hatt, was waiting.

[train whistle toots]

[yells]

Thomas!

Thomas!Stop!

[whistle blowing]

[narrator] And without a referee,

you can'’t have a soccer match.

Thomas and James were both in trouble,

but they didn'’t know it yet.

[all] Blues are the best!

Blues are the best!

[passengers cheering]

[brakes screech]

[passengers] Blues are the best!

[laughing]

We'’re number one!

[train engine chugging]

[passengers chanting] Red engine! Red engine!

[whistle toots]

[whistles toot]

[engines chugging]

[brakes screeching]

[laughs]

That'’s another win for the red team.

No, it'’s not.

Reds are the best.

No, blues are the best.

Reds!

Well, let'’s go and see who'’s the best then.

[whistle toots]

Red engine! Red engine!

[people cheering]

-Red engine! Red engine! -James?

-James! -What?

Shouldn'’t the match have started by now?

Where are they?

They'’re probably too scared to show up.

What'’s the hold up?

Get on with it!

But I can only see one soccer team.

What?

Oh, yes.

And where'’s the referee?

[both] Uh-oh.

[train whistle blows]

And then there was trouble.

[doors creak]

-Come on, lads. -Come on, this way.

[both] Uh-oh.

[Sir Topham Hatt] Thomas and James.

I am giving you both a yellow card.

A yellow card?

What does that mean, sir?

It is a warning.

I asked you to work together today,

but instead, you competed against one another.

One more mistake today,

and it'’s a red card for both of you.

In a game of soccer, a red card means you'’re sent off.

You are out of the game.

We don'’t want to be out of the game, sir.

Quite. After the match, you must work together

to take everyone home

regardless of what side they are on, red or blue.

[Emily] Or green.

[laughs]

[whistle blows]

[cheering]

Thomas, you know this whole reds versus blues thing?

Yes.

Sorry about that, James.

We should have been working together.

Yes. It'’s better when we work towards the same goal.

[crowd gasps]

Oh!

[Sir Topham Hatt] Can we have our ball back, please?

[crowd gasps]

[crowd cheers]
