wow what's good about losing
i think that losing makes me appreciate
winning more
win or lose is playing the game that
counts
you gotta learn what it feels like to
take some losses they don't want to
admit it but everyone does lose
hope you lose you know you can learn
from your mistakes you lose
and learn it's the way to be a
powerhouse
i always say you just wait till next
time but i'll get you

to save you next week
the director of frockton mr t william
phelps all right hey come on
tony anybody could have a bad day man

just leave me alone
tony what's wrong

for myself okay

if you want goers and footwork drills or
hey look you haven't even thanked me for
that fantastic plate that saved your
skin
i hurt my foot i couldn't push off the
whole second half
why didn't you say something
hey it's no big deal i'll take it home
i'll soak it it'll be fine
now relax forget we're playing
throttling
they're only the best team in the league
it's only the championship
it is just games right yeah yeah yeah
just the game
let's see
see how the wings cross over
fun doesn't fill a trophy case
concentrate on the goalie
you see you keep it low and then up on
your knees okay
hey don't you learn to do that in south
america
south america
my name is tony by the way
elgato the cat for my soccer style
hey what team do you play for team
nothing no team you know
okay we do it again
chart we're down to rock bottom who's
missing tony but he's probably just
laden
a terry and dwayne have the flu
they don't look like much but they can
play i'm sure they don't
hey what kind of a game plan did you all
use down there
hey it's about time footstool bothering
you
oh yeah yeah it is as a matter of fact
great now we're down to 10 people in one
question hey wait a minute wait a minute
i want you to meet somebody who might be
able to help us elgato meet powerhouse
meet our new secret weapon hello
i'm kevin elgato
else just been in this country a few
months he was one of the stars of his
team back home
right the start
well i guess it won't hurt if he
practices with us but what we need is a
goalie
can't hurry mother nature you know
right well let's set up the indirect
free kick so mr elgato can show us what
he can do
yes hey
tony what's wrong with your leg oh i
just twisted my ankle the other day
are you gonna be all right yeah yeah i
hope it'll be okay by saturday i
wouldn't want you to miss out on the
game yeah i know
who is that guy only the key to beating
throcked
yes
if you ask me
how did it go being
good i suppose you want some more of
these
oh
why because i got the best let's start
over and over again hey tony
your friend looks better yeah yeah a
little bit
oh
yeah harder than i thought
the point is i have to get the lineup
set before mr phelps and the league
director get here
which will be any minute
come on what's the matter with you
talk to me do we add the boy to the
roster or not
yes
he's good brenda he's real good don't
worry he's good
tony jennifer brockton's tough
with elgato on the team we do stand a
better chance but it's not the same team
in fact i'm not even sure we have a team
anymore
i sure wish your foot would heal that
chance
what's that supposed to mean you know
what it means you know what i'm talking
about why don't you say it huh
why don't you say what you're thinking
you think i'm faking don't
that's enough
what's the matter with you we're talking
about a game
a game you play it because you want to
it's supposed to be fun
beyond my comprehension how brenda
manages to keep powerhouse approach
under such
limited circumstances i do hope this
meeting won't take too long
much as i always enjoy chatting with
miss gaines
okay what we have to figure out is where
this game is going to be played
and when as far as i'm concerned
thrusting is willing to play brendo's
team and i use the term loosely
at any time and at any place
the langley cup has been in uh topton's
trophy case for five straight years
i don't intend to see
and of course you don't have a trophy
case do you dear
no i had to dismantle it to fix the
gymnasium floor
