I need better touches
with my left.
You know, I think
that was a yellow card.
On you or me?
Definitely you.
I've seen you around here
a lot lately.
I come up here to
practice sometimes too.
We just moved in.
Right over there.
Around the corner,
on Longridge.
Welcome.
[LAUGHS]
You're really
working hard.
I'm trying.
How do you stay
so motivated?
[ALEX CLEARS THROAT]
Don't do it. Remember the whole
flashlight-in-the-eyes thing.
[LAUGHS]
I dunno.
Whatever it is,
it's working.
Who do you play for?
[SCOFFS]
Nobody.
What? Get outta here.
- You're good.
- No, I...
You think so?
Yeah.
Well, who do you play for?
United Real.
Oh, wow. They're good.
I mean,
they can't be that good.
They let me on the team.
Need any more players?
Um, well,
my-my friend's cousin,
she plays
for a small club.
The Breakaways?
She was talking about
how they need one more,
'cause somebody
moved out of town.
If you're interested.
The Breakaways?
I think they're new-ish.
I mean, she said
they're not a great team.
But it's a chance
to play this season.
How not great
could they be?
[TRAIN HORN BLARING]
You here to try out?
Uh, yeah... Yeah.
Cool.
What are you waiting for?
Okay.
Who cut you?
Excuse me?
What team
didn't you make?
That's why you're
here, right?
Somebody cut you or you
didn't make another team?
It's okay.
Nobody joins
this team first.
I got cut by
the Jags.
Oh.
- Crush.
- Mm.
You know, this team,
the Breakaways,
it got its name because
it was formed when some girls
'broke away' from Crush,
right?
And by broke away,
I mean got cut.
NIGEL [WITH BRITISH ACCENT]: Jolly
good work, girls. That's it.
Back and forth,
pass the ball, tickety-boo.
Keep it going along.
Great. Right.
Oh, I'd watch out
for the glass and the...
Maybe the live electrical wires.
Don't step on those.
PENNY:
For cryin' out loud, Bug!
You keep stopping
and looking
like you're crossing
the street.
LEXI:
Haven't you everheard the saying:
"Slow and steady
wins the race?"
The race,
not the soccer game.
Soccer is about fast.
Like this.
Whoa!
[LAUGHING,
STIFLED]
PENNY:
Don't even.
She's...? She's 13?
GIA:
Bug? No. Nine.
Need the players.
NIGEL:
Codswallop!
I almost caught
a Level 6 Zernorf.
GIA:
Coach.
New girl trying out.
Reagan.
Cheers, Reagan.
Uh, my name's Coach Nigel.
First thing:
has Giagiven you the panic word?
Oh, the panic word
is "apricot."
If you hear
that during practice,
stop whatever
you're doing,
and hide till coach
sounds the all clear.
Uh...
a city truck.
trespassing and lose our field.
[PLAYERS CHATTERING]
Thanks for letting me
try out, coach.
Have you played
the beautiful game before?
- Yeah.
- Right on.
Welcome to the Breakaways,
Reagan.
Don't consider this a tryout.
Consider it your first practice.
Uh...
Hey, look, our first game
is in two weeks.
How many girls
do you see here?
REAGAN:
Um... Ten?
But soccer goes up
to 11, right?
So welcome aboard!
Get your boots on.
Meet us on the pitch.
Huh? Let's go!
Right-o, everybody!
Let's line up!
Whew.
You just made the cut.
That was
a real squeaker.
NIGEL:
...the point of thewhole game, isn't it?
REAGAN:
Uh, why...? Why...?
GIA:
Do we practice here?
REAGAN:
Yeah.
GIA:
Some real estatedeveloper bought the land
where our old field was
to build new apartments
or something.
REAGAN:
Ouch.
It's not so bad here,
though.
It's pretty private.
You gotta dive, Lexi!
[SNEEZES]
She's allergic.
To what?
Grass.
Not quite Crush, huh?
NIGEL:
Come on, Bug. You're next.Have at it.
Blimey! Don't bimble,
Bug. Come on, fast!
PENNY:
That's what I told her,
but Lexi started
quoting Shakespeare.
Shakespeare? Slow and steady
is the moral
of one of Aesop's fables.
Let's not bicker about
who quoted who.
This is supposed
to be a happy practice.
Coach is a good guy.
He played over
in England.
Really? For who?
South... Tetherton
or something. I dunno.
But he's British
so he knows soccer, right?
NIGEL:
No, no, no.
Penny, Penny, Penny.
You... You gotta use
the inside of your foot
if you're gonna dribble.
Like this, right?
Like that. Like this.
All right?
- Uh...
- He's British.
[NIGEL BLOWS WHISTLE]
Bring it in.
Come on, gather round.
Come on.
All right.
Well let's give
a big Breakaway welcome
to the newest member
of our team...
Apricot! Apricot!
[GIRLS CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY]

GIA:
Come on!
[COUNTRY SONG PLAYING
ON TRUCK RADIO]
MAN 1:
So I was watching The Bachelor.
- They're on this island.
- MAN 2:
Uh-huh.MAN 1:
He's got all these women.He's got a rose,
but he doesn't have enough
for all the women.
- You with me on this?
- MAN 2:
Yeah.MAN 1 Beautiful island,
women, couple roses.
- MAN 2:
Like Survivor.- MAN 1:
Yeah, but you don'twatch it, do you?
Yeah, I didn't watch it either.
Anyway, they're
on the island, right?
He's got the roses,
and he uses...
- Welcome to the team.
- Yeah, welcome.
Thanks.
Glad to have you,
Rachel.
Reagan.
[SNEEZES]
[COUNTRY MUSIC CONTINUES
ON CAR RADIO]
You in my arms
My hands in your hair
Come on, sugar, nothing...
[CAR ENGINE RECEDING]
The goalie is allergic.
To grass.
A soccer goalie.
Allergic. To grass!
Not ideal.
We're practicing on
a city storage area place.
At least it's
super-private.
[SCOFFS]
Hey, it's a chance to play
on a team this season.
Isn't that what
you wanted?
I wanted to play
for Crush.
If I'd made them,
maybe...
Maybe I could be
a champion too.
Like Logan.
You wouldn't understand.
[HUSHED, INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I made that team.
Thanks for the tip.
- You're welcome.
- Keep your head up.
Use your left foot.
[CHUCKLES]
Uh, hello.
Are you not
telling me something?
[GIGGLES]
Clear!
My bad. Sorry, guys.
Must-Must have been
a UPS truck. Okay.
[NIGEL BLOWS WHISTLE]
NIGEL:
Nice hiding. Uh, good hustle.Let's go, back at it.
Ho, ho, tally ho
for that effort.
All right, Bug.
All right, okay.
Little off the mark.
Let's see it, Gia.
[]
That was a bloody
nice try, Gia.
A bit wonky,
though, right?
Everybody, if you wanna
hit the ball hard,
you gotta kick with
the tip of your toe.
And keep your head
up, looking at the goal,
so you know what
you're shooting at.
Right? Make sense?
Let's see it, Penny.
Oh, that was
a real corker, Penny!
That's the way you do it!
And remember,
tip of the old toe.
Toe down. Strike through
the ball with your laces,
head down,
eyes following the ball.
All right, you're next,
Reagan. Let's see it.
Hey, coach,
mind if I try it
a different way?
NIGEL [CHUCKLING]:
A different...?
There might be different
ways to kick a ball,
but when I was studying at the
Royal Academy of Soccer, um...
PLAYERS [IN UNISON]:
Wow.
Right. Uh, let's give
Reagan's way
