    Soccer's Off: Western Wildcats 1

    John Larkin

    Formats & Editions

    The Western Wildcats might appear to be a bunch of losers, but Paul and Eric Underwood s father has come up with the formula for making them winners: they ve got to start acting Brazilian. Everyone should wise up when he takes control of the weekend barbecue and almost burns the house down but they don t, and it can only be hoped that he s a better coach than he is a cook!

    First it s out to the sandhills, where champion sprinter and nerdy older brother Eric (Spaghetti Legs) is going to put the Wildcats through their paces up and down the dunes. And if soccer s not off after a workout like that, it won t be his fault!
