Football offers come to the ancient town of Ankh-Morpork. And today, the wizards of Unseen College or university must earn a soccer match, without using magic, therefore they’re in the disposition for trying everything else. This isn’t going to be considered a gentleman’s game.

The prospect from the Big Match allures a street urchin with an excellent skill for kicking a tin can, a machine of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young female, who could turn out to be the greatest style model there has ever been, as well as the strange Mr Nutt (no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt). As the match methods, four lives are entangled and transformed for ever.

Because the matter about soccer – the main thing about soccer – is that it’s not only about football.

Here we move! Here we go! Here we go!
