Football is not about life or death – it is far more important!

Jake, Nick, and Peter are best friends. They love football and they play in the same club. Jake and Nick are going to move to the first league. They are so excited! They start on the bench in the first two matches, but Jake does not get to play much in the first match. And when there is only ten minutes left of the second match, he still has yet to play. That is when Jake makes a big decision.

Football is not about life or death – it is far more important!

Jake and his friends have formed their own team, FC Mezzi. We follow their training matches, tournaments and old and new friendships. There is even a little bit about love.

This series is all about having fun with the game!
