But when Harvey loses his temper and gets a red card, it looks like he might have to miss both matches. Then he discovers that he will only be banned for one match if he attends a week of Referee Training with the very referee who sent him off! Can Harvey stick out a whole week of referee school?

The Team are sure the Superstars record is jinxed, and when Mark 1, the football-playing robot, turns up with what they think are lucky charms, they rush to put them on. Harvey refuses to wear one, so The Team bans him from playing the next match. Can Harvey convince The Team that winning matches has nothing to do with luck, and everything to do with friendship?

The winning team will receive tickets to a World Cup match, and Harvey thinks this is the closest The Team will ever come to being together at the World Cup. But what will the ‘World Cup Heroes’ tournament really involve? And how can The Team prepare properly, when their number-one fans—Professor Gertie and Mark 1, the football-playing robot—can no longer support them because they have had to get new jobs to pay the bills? Can Harvey and The Team still find a way to make their dreams come true?
