..at the same time.

Look! Goosebumps.

- And this one?

- I dunno what he's doing.

- Come, come.

- No, no! Stop.

Well? You like me, no?

Why are you doing this?

You already have money and fame.

You're successful.

Why don't you leave our town alone?

I didn't hear. Do you like me

or do you like me a lot?

Go. We can't harm you. You always win

You already have everything.

No, I don't have everything.

And I didn't always win.

Once I was beaten. Remember?

- Genius!

- About time.

C'mere.

Gimme that. This is what

I was looking for!

Where are the rest?

Useless bloodsucker!

Why do I keep you around?

I've located the rest...

Out!

- Why? They're harmless dolls.

- Harmless?

They represent the only

failure in my life. Come!

He's taking her again! No!

He's taking her again!

- Ready?

- Couldn't we have walked?

I don't walk 10 meters

without a sponsor.

- What's this?

- The future of soccer and its stars.

The best of nature and the latest

science; muscles and nanotechnology.

Perfection for

perfecting the perfect.

- What's this?

- Divebomber doves no longer rate.

A weak luke-warm, animal,

the rating system spits them out.

These are Divebomber Doves 2.0.

Armor plated and weaponized.

The Australian ostrich is the

fastest ostrich with a deadly kick.

Can you imagine a boot

with these characteristics?

- Give me that.

- What will you do?

What would happen if I mixed

this pile of junk

- with boots?

- No, wait.

Why? It might improve the cleats,

and increase my traction.

Or at least I can trample

them the rest of my life.

No, no, wait. Please, no!

What're you gonna do, Chino?

Korean.

What's he doing?

Think.

One more advantage we have

over that filthy team.

- Ok, I don't understand.

- Obviously you don't.

You're standing before

a master of Eastern Wisdom.

The guy perceives things that

you and I couldn't dream of!

Things that escape

the rest of us mortals.

They're just numbers.

It's confusing me.

Always brute force,

the crass response.

What are you doing? No.

It's pointless!

No, wait!

Show me more inventions.

Ok. Inventions, inventions.

No! Let go of me. Wait.

Leggo.

That's not how it's done.

Oh, man, that door hit me!

Do I need to teach you everything?

Ready?

Now!

What were you going to teach us?

I'm coming...

I'm coming...

Stop!

No!

Please let him go.

- But I 'm not doing anything.

- Leave her alone.

Don't mess with her.

I fell... What?

Please, I beg you. Let him go, please!

Don't tell me you like

this idiot!

What if I do?

No. No!

No!

I'll bury you along with

that nauseating little town.

- Over here, guys!

- Careful. Easy!

Laura. Laura.

Watch the hair, m'dear.

Watch the hair!

Let's go.

What does the wildlife

have against El Beto?

This is the worst

pre-season of my life.

- Don't let up now, Burgundy.

- Garnet!

Capiii!

Loco!

No!

Never be afraid to fly!

- Get back!

- Come back, Amadeo!

Ole, Ole, Ole.

Ciao.

I'm fine. Thank God I was able to

rescue the most valuable thing. Me.

I was the only one injured

but I'm also...

- How are you?

- Fine. How are you, Laura?

Me? Fine.

You shouldn't have done it, Amadeo.

He's strong and well trained.

You shouldn't have challenged him.

You're crazy.

- I came to rescue you.

- You did wrong.

I can handle myself.

You know I love you the same.

- I thought, if I came...

- What?

That I'd fall in love with you

for your courage facing a guy

who is way stronger than you?

Is that what you thought?

One moment!

I beat him once.

Everyone knows I've never lost.

Once, you did! And I challenge

you publically to a rematch.

- You challenge me?

- Anytime.

I accept the challenge.

But not that baby game.

I challenge you to

a serious game of soccer.

Soccer? I...

You were always a coward.

Anytime.

One moment!

A game for nothing?

Let's make it interesting.

If Amadeo wins,

you give us back the town.

What's the matter? Afraid?

Hola!

Wanna play a match

in the new stadium?

- Alright. Against who?

- Los Absolutos.

Can you show me

how well you play...

...football?

You're dead meat, you horrible dogs!

You'll lose by five.

We gotta use psychology because

physically they can annihilate us.

Would you...

- Pla...

- Footb...?

Do you agree, then?

- Sure.

- Pi.

Hate. Hate. Hate...

THANKS TO OUR FOUNDER

Amadeo.

Look, a candidate.

Laucha, they say

you're the fastest in town.

- Is it true?

- Can I borrow your pen?

How'd y...

He's not going anywhere.

He's under my guard.

Wouldn't you rather

guard him on the field?

What a surprise, Amadeo!

You need God's forgiveness?

No Father, I need an outside defender

but I'll make do with a priest.

I can't go back until

the Hermit Sports Club.

wins the Liberator Cup.

A promises is a promise.

Don't you know what happened?

The Absolutos bought

the Hermit Sports Club.

They destroyed the field and

put up a Mega Convenience Store.

No!

We need a player and there are

no more men in town. Any ideas?

Me, me! I have an idea.

Thanks for joining the team but

could you not shave till Sunday?

I don't know if we should line-up

in a 4-4-2 formation or 4-3-3.

In your place El Beto,

would line-up 11-0.

All 11 hanging from the crossbar,

so they can't fit the ball in.

Amadeo.

They'll kill us.

20, 30 goals, they'll get!

Woah! Don't exaggerate!

10, 15 at most.

They're Stars. We're horrible.

- You're the best I know.

- At foosball. Don't you see?

We're not real players.

You, Beto, the others, and

me most of all, are useless.

They're real. We're toys.

Hey, what's up?

Nothing.

What, nothing? You're crying.

Nothing to do with you.

I was researching the subject of

...monoculture. All grass.

If it hadn't been for me, this

wouldn't have happened, Amadeo.

What?

This whole thing. The bar,

the town, the challenge.

What about the challenge?

What do you mean?

They'll massacre us.

We'll lose everything.

They'll score a thousand goals.

My, what little faith!

Didn't you see the team we built?

Did you see us train?

No wonder.

You don't know what these

past few days have been.

We killed ourselves training.

But you're just fans.

But we're playing for the town.

They're not playing for anything.

Laurita,

Trust me.

Light the Tower.

Light the Tower!

You, whatever your name is.

Light it!

No, no the other Tower!

Light it up!

See you tomorrow.

I never saw anyone with

such mastery of the game.

I was good, no?

I wasn't talking about you.

Welcome to the inaugural match

the greatest stadium in the world

The Universal Astro Gol.

The mighty Absoluto...

Come on, guys, with all this

cutting edge technology...

1,300 cameras, 800 cranes,

200 satellites...

but stairs are too much to ask.

Are you kidding me?

- What's your name?

- Juan Jose.

I don't care. Announce the players,

the boss is getting impatient.
