Today is the big day, Alex.
Think I'm ready.
I think.
But just in case, from one Number 13 to another,
got any tips for me? Heh, heh.
Are you talking to your poster?
You want a tip?
Push-ups.
One.
Two. Three.
Four. Five. Six. Seven.
Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven.
You can stop now.
Thirteen. Fourteen.
Today's the big day!
Yes, it is. The Michigan coach is coming to meet
Logan today after school. They're talking scholarship.
Yeah, okay, right, but aren't you forgetting something else?
- Is UCLA coming today, too? Uh... - No, no, no, not about Logan,
or Logan's football, about my...
Excuse me. Has anyone seen my keys?
Go for Joe.
Hello, Coach.
- What? - Alabama.
Yes!
Yes, sir?
Can I get a ride today?
Uh... Ooh. Hold on, honey.
Hello?
Clemson.
- Uh, yes. - Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you so much for calling.
I'm gonna go move to Alaska and join a cult.
Oh, yes, we are so proud of him. He's a great kid.
Yes. Absolutely, coach. Looking forward to it.
You're gonna ship my stuff, right?
Seventy-six, 77, 78.
Seventy-nine.
And they totally forgot about my tryout.
Well your brother kinda is the best quarterback
this city's ever had.
- Et tu, Grace? - Kidding.
I know something that'll cheer you up.
Have you seen the cute boy that just moved here?
And I heard he plays soccer.
Hi, Ben!
Ugh, Claire Bishop.
That girl has to have everything.
Good luck today. You've got this, Regs.
What? Uh.
Oh, no, no, no.
You gotta be kidding me.
For those of you who don't know,
I'm John Osbourne.
Coach Oz. The great and powerful.
But with me, there's no man behind the curtain.
In your daughter's soccer world,
I'm all powerful. All knowing.
I wish I could say welcome to Crush tryouts,
but I'd be lying.
Today's tryouts are a welcome to a small number of you.
And a wish you goodbye to most.
Even if you played for me since
you were 6 years old,
today you could get cut.
I do not play favorites.
Let me repeat that, I do not play favorites.
Hey, Claire!
There's my little champion.
Hope we get to see that kick today. Yeah.
I'm not trying to be rude,
I'm just simply stating fact.
We are the number one girls' soccer club in the state.
We have won the Diamond Cup three years in a row,
s-so simple math states that you, you, you...
Not you, girl. ...You, you, you or you,
are not Crush material.
Enough with the pleasantries. Let's get started.
Yellow brick road time. Munchkins over there.
Let's go! Pretend like you wanna play something! Maybe soccer!
Waiting to see something good, ladies.
You call that soccer?
You need to do better out there.
All right, line up for the next drill.
Winners always line up.
You're late.
Yeah, I know. I know. I'm sorry. Um.
My bike chain came off, and I...
Mm.
That's an excuse. I don't like excuses.
Y-Yes, yes, yes, sir. Sorry, sir.
Although, um...
It's not so much an excuse as it is what happened, and...
What position are you?
I'll play anywhere. But usually striker.
Ooo.
This is not how we play Crush soccer!
In fact, this is not how you play any kinda soccer.
You might as well be playing baseball or basketball.
That's enough of y'all.
You don't even line up like Crush soccer.
Hey, Claire! Focus out there.
Show her who the real striker is.
Ugh! Ow! Uh!
Uh, Claire, it was great, but save it for the game.
Did you see that?
My bad, coach. I was just trying to
play aggressive like you always tell us. Not dirty.
Good job.
Sorry, slipped.
Striker.
It's okay. There's always next time.
- Hey. - Number 4.
- Kids didn't stand a chance. - All right, yes!
My little champion right there.
She'll get you another Diamond Cup, coach.
Let's go, sweetie.
Thanks for coming out. Keep working hard.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait.
Sorry, th-that's it?
I've seen enough.
You barely watched me.
Is that my fault? My bike chain didn't break.
Uh.
That... That's not fair.
Life isn't fair.
Haven't you heard that sports teaches life lessons?
Yeah, but I think you're applying it wrong here.
I doubt it.
I've been Coach of the Year three years running.
Okay, all I want is a chance to play on your team.
Just... Just a chance.
I'm sorry. I think that ship has sailed.
Ships sail at 13?
In club soccer, they do.
If you were someone, I would have known you by now.
My girls here who play club have been playing for me
since they were 8, 9 years old.
Alex Morgan didn't play club until she...
Yeah, Alex Morgan didn't play club until she was 13.
Every girl who gets cut clings to that story like a life vest.
But playing for Crush is my dream.
Sometimes dreams die.
Life lesson number two.
Ow.
I can't thank you enough for being here.
This is just an honor, coach.
Logan has worked so hard for this moment.
Uh, football is his life.
I hear that you played some ball yourself, Mr. Wills.
Yeah, until I got hurt senior year of high school.
Uh, so, that was it. Sometimes dreams die.
Ahem. But so close.
Anyways, it's not about me anymore.
Go back, full scholarship?
Full scholarship.
Wow. I mean, I just wanna say thank you, coach.
Thank you. I-I'm gonna keep saying thank you
until you get tired of me saying thank you.
I've called everywhere. And I know the deadline
to sign up for AYSO passed,
but I was wondering if there's still a spot.
No. No, I... I understand.
Okay. Bye.
I guess ships do sail at 13.
Logan's right. I'm talking to a poster.
Why won't this come off?
Come on!
Hello?
Reagan.
Are you all right?
Man, that was a bad fall.
Can you even hear me?
Are you okay?
Reagan, are you all right?
Wha...?
Mom! I need to go to the doctor right now!
I hit my head really hard, and now I'm seeing things!
- You're not seeing things. - And now I'm hearing things!
It's okay. You're just hallucinating.
You're not hallucinating. I can prove it.
My name is Alex Morgan, and my birthday is July 2nd.
My parents are Mike and Pam, and my sisters...
That doesn't prove anything!
This-This could all still be in my head.
I-I know everything about you. I'm-I'm your biggest fan.
Do you know I grew up in...
Diamond Bar.
Or that my first club team was...
Cypress Elite.
Or that my nickname used to be
Baby Horse.
And your college degree was in political economy.
You have a license to drive a motorcycle.
Favorite color is pink. Favorite food is Mexican.
Your favorite song is "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson.
Wow. I don't even think my mom knows all that.
Told ya. Number one fan.
I'm impressed.
Thank you, hallucination.
You're welcome.
Wow.
This feels so real.
Honey, what is wrong? What happened?
I fell. And I hit my head.
- And... And, uh... - This won't end well.
What won't end well?
- Huh? What? - No, no, not y... Not you, Mom.
Not me what?
- I'll come back at another time. - No! Don't go.
I'm not going anywhere, honey.
Mom, I'm not talking to you.
Who are you talking to?
Alex Morgan.
Alex Morgan?
You-You didn't just hear her when she talked?
- Who? - Alex.
You're hearing voices from your pennant?
No, not the pennant. That's crazy.
From the poster.
I'm talking to the Alex Morgan that's standing right there.
- Right where? - There.
Now follow my finger.
I know it sounds crazy, Mom.
But Alex Morgan was standing in my room...
Now follow this finger. Shh.
It's probably just a temporary thing
caused by hitting her head.
Some kids see stars. Our daughter sees soccer stars.
But she'll be fine.
Did you know she talks to her poster?
You sure this doesn't have something
to do with her brother?
No, Dad.
Shocking, but this was one thing
that was not about Logan.
Hello?
Are you just gonna stand there and watch?
'Cause you gotta work on your opposite foot.
You've got a great right, but your left kinda stinks.
But...
You're not real.
Are you?
If you believe in a goal or a dream
before it happens, is that real?
What are you doing here?
You said you wanted some tips. Remember?
Are you a ghost?
Do I look like a ghost?
You look real to me.
Then I guess I must be real. Let's get started.
Started what?
Training.
You're gonna train me? You?
I can't have my number one fan quit.
It would look bad.
I-I didn't make Crush.
And the other teams' rosters are set.
The ship has sailed.
Ships don't sail at 13.
That's what I said!
I got cut from my club team when I was your age.
I didn't quit. Turned out okay for me.
Oh! Sorry, sorry!
I'm practicing with Alex Morgan!
Lock your ankle when you pass.
Like this?
Good. Again.
Okay.
It's all right. Don't get frustrated.
Keep your head down, and just focus on the pass.
Great.
Try your left foot now.
Nice.
That one was really good.
Thanks. Ha, ha.
Keep going.
Perfect.
Nice.
Wanna train tomorrow?
Say when, I'll be there. I'll do what it takes.
Good, because that is what it takes.
Okay. Ready?
- That's all right. - Okay.
♪ I was waiting in the moment For the beat of love... ♪
Thank you.
Hello.
Cute new boy coming on your right at 3 o'clock.
Play it smooth. Claire's getting ready to make her move.
Hey, Reagan.
I'm so sorry! Oh.
Real smooth, Regs.
I thought we were training today.
Oh, Ben. Are you okay?
What's your glitch?
No worries. All good.
I, uh... I am so, so sorry.
I-I-I saw a spider.
Um, yeah, must have been a big spider, then, huh?
Y-Yeah. Mm-hm.
I'm Ben.
Ready?
Right now?
Um, I'm pretty sure I've always been Ben.
I mean, at least since I was born.
Wait, what? No, no, no! I'm sorry, no.
No, um, I'm... I'm Reagan.
Whatever it takes. Remember? This is what it takes.
You said we were training today. Your words.
If you don't want my help...
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Uh.
I have to go.
Hi. I'm Grace.
Please.
C'mon, Ben. Come sit with us.
Perfect. Keep going. Keep going.
Now let's turn it around, do inside, outside the foot.
Okay.
Good turn. Good.
- All right, let's do sole rolls. - Okay.
That was harsh.
At the burger place.
When I was your age, I practiced every day.
Yeah, but you're Alex Morgan.
Not back then. I was just a kid with a dream.
Like you right now. Look around.
How many other people do you see out here practicing?
- Nobody. - Exactly.
You know who else used to do hours of practice?
Not only because she had to, but because she had a dream?
Mia Hamm.
You know who else used to do practice rain or shine
on any field or driveway she could find? Abby Wambach.
You know who never did extra practice,
who only did what she had to do,
and just hung out on the weekends?
- Who? - Natalie Gunderson.
Who's Natalie Gunderson?
Exactly. All right, keep going.
Sole rolls.
You're getting a lot better. Good.
No.
At 6 a.m.? Seriously?
Rise and shine!
Keep going. You can do it. Come on.
You're out here working toward your dreams
while Natalie Gunderson is sleeping. And done.
I am so jealous of Natalie Gunderson
Good. Turn around.
- Jeez. - Okay.
Let's see some juggling.
Okay. One, two,
three, four, five, six.
I think I got this.
Hey!
God, that's my state championship trophy.
Sorry! But you-you got another, right?
Not the point!
Okay, nice.
Good one.
C'mon. I wanna see a left.
I will. Later.
If you don't practice it here,
later will never come when it counts.
What kind of spider was it this time?
My coach is always telling me to look up when I dribble.
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.
You're really working hard.
I'm trying.
How do you stay so motivated?
Don't do it. Remember the whole flashlight-in-the-eyes thing.
I dunno.
Whatever it is, it's working.
Who do you play for?
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?
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.
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.
For cryin' out loud, Bug!
Your moves gotta be faster.
You keep stopping and looking
like you're crossing the street.
Haven't you ever heard the saying:
"Slow and steady wins the race?"
The race, not the soccer game.
Soccer is about fast. Like this.
Whoa!
Don't even.
She's...? She's 13?
Bug? No. Nine.
Need the players.
Codswallop!
I almost caught a Level 6 Zernorf.
Coach.
New girl trying out.
Reagan.
Cheers, Reagan. Uh, my name's Coach Nigel.
First thing: has Gia given 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...
It means somebody saw a city truck.
Don't wanna get busted for trespassing and lose our field.
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?
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.
...the point of the whole game, isn't it?
Uh, why...? Why...?
Do we practice here?
Yeah.
Some real estate developer bought the land
where our old field was
to build new apartments or something.
Ouch.
It's not so bad here, though.
It's pretty private.
You gotta dive, Lexi!
My allergies are acting up!
She's allergic.
To what?
Grass.
Not quite Crush, huh?
Come on, Bug. You're next. Have at it.
Blimey! Don't bimble, Bug. Come on, fast!
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?
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.
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!
Come on!
So I was watching The Bachelor.
- They're on this island. - Uh-huh.
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? - Yeah.
MAN 1 Beautiful island, women, couple roses.
- Like Survivor. - Yeah, but you don't
watch 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.

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.
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.
I made that team. Thanks for the tip.
- You're welcome. - Keep your head up.
Use your left foot.
Uh, hello.
Are you not telling me something?
Clear!
My bad. Sorry, guys.
Must-Must have been a UPS truck. Okay.
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?
A different...?
There might be different ways to kick a ball,
but when I was studying at the Royal Academy of Soccer, um...
Wow.
Right. Uh, let's give Reagan's way
the ole Queen's try, shall we?
Mm-hm.
♪ Bow-wow-wow-wow, yipee-oh Yipee-eh ♪
Hi, sweetie. What's wrong with your bike?
Chain keeps popping.
Want me to take a look at it?
Actually...
I want you to come to my first game on Saturday.
This Saturday?
- Yes. - What time?
- Eleven a.m. - Oh, sweetheart.
Logan and I have a meeting with a coach then.
You could miss one meeting with one coach.
You've met, with, like, 50 of them.
Honey, you know how important that scholarship is.
You know, to Logan. Hey, to our family.
Well this game is important to me.
And Mom has to work on Saturday.
Please, Dad.
It's against Crush.
Okay, I'll see if I can change it.
Really?
Promise?
Yes, I promise.
Thanks, Dad.
You're welcome, now.
Let's fix this again.
- Okay. - Okay.
No tape anywhere near... Let's... Okay, first rule,
chains and tape don't go together.
Champions get their knees up.
Here we go. One more time for a champion.
Two times makes you a champion.
One time makes you a runner up.
We're champions, Crush soccer here.
Sides are next. Right sides.
All right, let's not look too hunky-dory.
Penny, I think you need to figure out
how your legs work. Let's stay on them.
Let's stay upright.
You generally wanna stay upright.
That's, I think, rule one.
Gonna do four of these.
That's what champions do.
Run four times.
Any runner-ups here?
I don't know any runner-ups.
All I know is champions.
All right, this is a right frog and toad, isn't it?
Yeah, a regular fox and hound.
Well let's not cat and fiddle it, okay?
Check this out. I can record all Lilly's games.
That's cute.
Camera one, you a go?
Camera two?
Okay. Okay. Okay.
I'll send you a copy.
Thanks.
- Who are we? - Crush!
- Who? - Crush!
- What do we do? - Crush!
- In on three! One! Two! Three! - Crush! Kick! Destroy!
We're gonna play knees up, don't go to spare if we fall behind.
If I know my onions about this game,
today won't turn out to be a damp squib.
Go get 'em! That's good! We got it! Nice!
I thought they spoke English in England.
Reagan, Reagan. Hey, uh, the...
The coach didn't get my message, and he's at the house.
Your Mom's at work, so I gotta go. I'm sorry.
But, no, but... But, Dad, you... You promised...
Honey, I'm... I'm sorry. Okay?
I'm gonna try to come back, but I gotta go.
He's there by himself, I gotta go with Logan, okay?
I'm sorry. I'll be back, though. Okay? Have fun.
I'm coming right now, son. Have fun!
Reagan, let's go. It's kick-off.
Hey, Claire.
Remember.
Hey, Jen, my dad usually gives me 25 dollars a goal.
But when he found out who we were playing today,
he dropped it to 10.
Pretty sure that's not good from a developmental standpoint.
- you're passing up on assists... - Don't bother.
Just let our feet do the talking.
Oh, I've seen your feet.
Have you listened to what they're saying?
You can hear my foot better when I kick your...
Game time, ladies!
All right, let's go!
Move it, move it!
Hit it up! Steal, steal!
Good job. Ah.
Let's go, Claire. Come on, Claire.
Bad.
Worse.
Deplorable.
Nope.
Okay, girls. Bring it in.
Don't worry. It's all right.
- Winners bring it in. - We could've lost
- a lot worse than that. - That's right.
Claire! That's my girl.
Hey.
- You ready? - Yeah.
Twenty, 40, 60.
Let's go shopping. Come on.
- Wanna get that pony? - Yeah!
Let's get that pony for your birthday.
You earned it.
So sorry, Regs.
How did it go?
Things ran long. You know.
I'm really sorry. I...
The coach just got talking and then...
How did you play? Did you girls win?
Did you do good?
I'm really sorry, baby. I really am.
Hey. Just so you know,
today wasn't my fault. Or Dad's.
It was just this huge mix-up.
Just one of those things, you know?
Are you really doing all this stuff?
What happened?
They put up a new lock on the entire field.
I told you they saw you sneaking back in after practice.
I forgot my ball!
Well, maybe if someone had yelled apricot!
It's not my job. You could've said it!
- Yeah, yeah. Don't blame her. - Well it's somebody's fault,
and it surely was not mine, because...
Oh, stop, stop, stop! Please stop!
Just stop already! Oh! The constant bickering and arguing
and fighting is too much! I can't take it anymore! Okay?
Ugh.
What happened to your accent?
Uh...
Blimey, heh.
I mean crikey, uh...
Barmy, I guess I've been...
living here across the pond a bit too long,
my Queen's English has gotten a wee bit cheeky.
Right? Uh...
I can't.
You can't what?
Uh, my name's not Nigel. It's, um...
It's Nick.
And I didn't grow up in Birmingham, England.
I'm from Pomona.
What?
I'm sorry. I am. I'm sorry. I just...
I needed a job after the sporting goods store
I was working at closed, and...
soccer parents are the most gullible people I ever met.
They think anybody who's British knows soccer
and can help their kid be the next superstar, so...
I watched the Austin Powers movies,
put up an online ad saying I played in England, and, uh...
Well the next thing you know,
parents were hiring me to coach their kids. And this team.
So where did you play in college?
Mm?
High school?
I was on the bowling team.
Oh! Ah!
So now you're accurate.
I deserved that.
Aah!
That's a foul. That's a red card.
Without a coach, we can't even finish out our season.
Oh, Regs.
Heard the news. Bummer.
Hi, Ben!
If I'm ever that annoying,
I give you permission to smack me.
I wish I could help.
Wish you could coach soccer.
Okay, everybody, good news. Our season can continue
How? We don't have a coach.
We do now, my dad. He volunteered.
Isn't that awesome?
Has he ever coached?
He coached my first rec team.
Then Logan got great at football.
Where is he?
Uh, he's sick.
That's why we're practicing here.
Across the street from my house.
So he can watch us. From the window. Ha.
Oh, hi, Daddy! Ha.
Feel better!
So you can coach us soon!
See? All good.
What...? What's he doing now?
Uh, well, he's, uh...
He's just excited,
and, uh, he wants to encourage us to, um...
Uh, raise the roof?
Don't overdo it up there, Dad.
You wanna save your energy, so you can get better.
And now... Now, until he's better,
I saw some more drills on that Alex Morgan training video,
so let's go train on our awesome new field.
This field is so small.
This field is a dump.
I... I can't find my ball again.
See you next practice.
Hopefully my dad will feel better then.
He's still not quite 100 percent yet.
Hopefully he's turned a corner. We're pulling for ya, Dad!
I just need somebody there.
You know, and my mom can't coach
'cause she works a lot on Saturdays.
You know, I was thinking of asking our neighbor,
Mr. Dittman, but he's 84 and I think people would catch on.
- Yeah, that's ridiculous. - Mm-hm.
Yeah, he uses a scooter.
Why don't you just ask your dad to coach?
My dad? He won't do it.
He doesn't have time.
You know? I mean...
And I get it. This is Logan's moment.
Logan works hard for his dream, though.
You know that, right?
You're right.
Look, I get he comes first.
But sometimes I wish my dad
would pay a little more attention to me. You know?
What do you think, Alex?
She talking to the poster again?
Think?
About what today?
You.
And sometimes I feel like...
- Me? - ...I'm not even there.
And I'll just talk to him,
but he ignores me sometimes. I don't know why...
Grace?
That's a side effect. From his medication.
He sounded like a girl.
Yeah, well, the medicine,
it makes his voice really high-pitched.
Hopefully next week he'll, you know...
What...? What are you guys doing?
Leaving. How is this any better
than what we had with our 'British' coach?
At least he showed up.
Hey, we still have a team.
No, we don't. We just get together
- in a different field. - Don't say that.
Whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait.
Sorry I'm late. Sorry! Sorry I'm late!
So sorry.
Hi, I'm Joe, Reagan's dad.
Nice to... Yes.
You must be, uh... on the team.
Yeah.
Uh, so I... Sorry. I'm Joe. Coach Joe.
I'm real sorry. I know we got off to a rough start, but...
I promise you I'll be here for you now.
I thought you were still sick?
We just heard you scream.
Yeah, that. That was a scream of joy
because the doctor just called me.
He said that all the test results are clear.
Yeah. I-I'm all better.
It's a miracle.
What did you even have?
I had a... A problem with my vision.
I couldn't see things that were right in front of me.
Really important stuff.
You know, we can talk about all that stuff later.
We gotta get down to business. Come on, let's...
Let's get our gear on. Hurry up, come on.
Let's get warming up. Get, uh... Get those, um...
The balls out of the...
The packs and put them on the ground and...
There you go.
Uh, how...? How did you even know I...?
Your Mom. And Gracie, she... She filled me in too.
I am so sorry, Reagan. I...
I got so focused on that scholarship, it just...
I'm really sorry, sweetheart.
The only thing is I don't know anything about soccer.
No, no, no. That's... That's okay. That's okay.
See, a-as long as you show up,
I can come up with the practice plans. Trust me.
Okay.
Uh, one question. Is that child really 13?
Oh, no. No.
Ah. I don't think so.
- Uh, second thing. - Yeah.
Do my arms really look like Gracie's?
Hey, what are you doing?
Well I may not know much about soccer,
but I'm pretty good when it comes to yardwork, so...
Just don't tell your mother.
Get a rake. Let's go.
Let's get this place fixed up for you.
We're doing the exact same thing we did last night?
- Yeah. - Pretty much.
- I don't care. - It was fine.
Is this ours?
Whoa.
Hey. What do you think?
Welcome to the new home of the Breakaways.
Come on! Let's go!
What's up, Bug?
Wow. I'm getting more practice.
Okay. Okay, nice try, Gia. But next time you should
try to do the thing with your foot.
You wanna do the thing like, um...
You should try a bending shot.
You wanna open up like you're gonna pass the ball,
but follow through like you're shooting it.
Like you're shooting it into the...
- Okay, yep. Um... - The...
You mean like this, Dad?
Yep. Just like... Yep, just like that.
Okay, for our next drill, why don't you go ahead
and, uh, ahem, you know, show everybody, uh...
what I taught you.
When you go at an opponent,
you wanna get them off balance one way,
and then go the other way.
Too many people focus on a fancy move,
instead of the reason you're doing the move
in the first place: beating your opponent.
Keep it simple. Use balance and a change of speed.
Wow. Reagan's dad is an awesome coach.
Mm-hm.
Champion on three!
One, two, three, champions!
Okay, guys, uh, just go out and... And do your best, okay?
Uh, I'm proud of you. Win or lose, just have fun.
Let's go. Have fun. Get on out there.
How come we don't have a team cheer?
Go team.
You gonna dive this time, Lexi?
Yep! My mom gave me some allergy medicine.
- See? No sneezing. - Ugh.
Lexi! Wake up!
- Over here, Bug. - Go, go, go. There you go!
There you go, girls!
- Get it to Reagan! - Let's go, Bug!
Come on, Bug. Bug, move over.
Help Penny out. Nice job, Penny.
Nice. Nice.
Regs! Move! Move! Go, go, go!
Whoa! We're actually tied!
Over here, Penny!
I'm open. In the middle!
Go, go, go. Go!
Uh, last minute. One more minute! One more minute!
Defense, girls. Defense, we need defense.
Come on, girls! You've got this! You've got this!
Good game, ladies. A lot of hustle out there.
Everybody stop.
Now what was the score of our last game?
Five to 1.
- Before that? - Like, 6-0.
It was 2-1 today.
We're getting better. All right?
We just need more game experience.
Against somebody good that can push you guys.
That's how good teams get better.
Yo! Spider girl!
Thanks for coming.
Ladies, today I want you to welcome
some of the boys from United Real,
who have come to our humble field to practice with us
because, uh...
Because Alex Morgan said...
- What? - Huh?
...um, in that... In that training video,
where she said she got a lot out of training and...
And... And practicing with...
boys, uh, growing up.
I mean, you remember, right?
Yeah. I do now. I do now.
I gotta get my hands on all these
Alex Morgan things she's watching.
- Mm-hm. - Well, let's, uh...
Let's play some soccer. Come on, let's go.
Let's go! Come on, girls!
Go, go, go.

That was fun.
The fake injury thing was cheap.
Agreed. But, uh, I told you
you didn't know all my moves.
You hungry?
Uh...
you sure your girlfriend would approve of that?
My girlfriend? What girlfriend?
Claire... Bishop.
Why would you think that?
I-I see you guys together at school. A lot.
Yeah. Because she kinda shows up... a lot.
So...
you're not...?
No. No. I, uh...
met her at a tournament a couple months ago.
She is not my type.
Where are we eating?
That was fun.
I'm good. I got this.
I can't believe you scored Dylan on a one-on-one.
He just...
So I know your favorite player is Alex Morgan.
- Right. - How about favorite goals?
Oh, okay, so that's easy.
My first memory of Alex Morgan,
and it was in the 2012 Olympics.
US versus Canada. Remember when they were all tied up, 3 to 3?
- Yeah, yeah. - They have less than 30 seconds to go
before it would come down to PKs, right?
Then Abby Wambach got the ball ten yards above the 18, right?
But then she turned to pass...
GIA Yeah! We won our first game!
Hey, wait. Where's Reagan?
Don't look at me. She's your daughter.
Did you see my goal?
Great job. Although...
Although what?
You could have had another goal
if you would've used your left instead of forcing your righty.
You don't let anything slide, do you?
You want to be your best,
or you want to be a Natalie Gunderson?
Hey!
What do you want? 'Cause there's...
They got sprinkles.
I want five scoops.
♪ Gonna be forever young ♪
♪ Yeah, we're dancing On the ceiling ♪
♪ And we won't stop ♪
I am so proud of you, Reagan.
Thanks.
Although I could've had two goals instead of one
if I'd shot with my left instead of my right
there at the end.
So I know I'm new to soccer and all,
but, uh, there are a few things I do understand
about sports in general.
Check the league standings.
We got three points today for the win, right?
Mm-hm.
Teams only have to finish in the top four of their leagues
to qualify for Diamond Cup.
I'm just sayin'.
There's still time.
Diamond Cup. Us?
- Us. - It was just one win.
No, it was just our first win.
I've always dreamed of playing in the Diamond Cup.
The top four teams in each league
are eligible.
Fourth place. I think we can get there.
I know we can.
Do you know where the Diamond Cup finals are?
Yeah, Harris Field.
Where the U.S. Women's National Team trains
when they're in town.
I think the key to making Diamond Cup
is practicing more with the boys team.
Yeah. Definitely.
Boys? Gross.

Charlotte wanted me to pass to her.
But her dad's not paying her.
Hi, Ben!
Ben! We're going to Diamond Cup!
- Are you serious? - Yeah!
- That's awesome! - Thanks!
We're so excited. I can't even tell you how excited we are.
Alex, I don't know if I'm ready.
We still need to improve. I need to improve.
Everyone always needs to improve.
I need to improve.
Diamond Cup is the best girls soccer teams in the state.
- I wanna talk to you! - Uh-oh.
I'll be with you the whole way.
Hey, I'm talking to you.
I'm not going anywhere.
Even if I wasn't here, you're enough, Reagan.
Are you ignoring me?
Me? You can't be talking about me.
Are you making fun of me? Nobody ignores Claire Bishop.
Maybe you'll pay attention when I tell my dad
to have his company buy this lot.
Hey!
Stop!
Reagan? Honey, are you okay?
Sweetheart, are you okay?
Reagan.
I'm okay.
Uh...
Alex?
Alex!
What did you do with Alex Morgan?
Have you seen Alex Morgan?
What did you do with Alex? Wha...?
- Sweetheart... - Oh, no.
Wha...? Alex!
Oh!
Come on, please, please, please, Alex.
I can't do this without you.
Oh, come on.
Alex.
I'm here.
Ready. To practice my left foot.
Alex?
Please. I need you.
Reagan, let's go!
- Do I have to? - Yes.
Come on.
And I want to thank you all for coming today.
I mean, this has been a really hard decision for me.
But getting here to this point
has been hard on my entire family.
My mom and dad both have made so many sacrifices.
Between games and practices, camps.
I mean, everything.
And then my sister...
Reagan.
You know, I realized that sometimes the spotlight on me
maybe left a little bit of a shadow on her.
She's been one of my big inspirations this season.
You know, her newfound dedication
and practicing every morning for her soccer,
it made me work harder.
She doesn't know this,
but I started putting these 'goal charts' in my room
just like she has in hers. So thanks, sis.
Now, as for where I'm gonna play football in college...
What, didn't believe me?
Thanks again. For today.
Come here.
Can I ask you something?
Shoot.
I got Diamond Cup starting this weekend, and I'm really nervous.
Look, I still get so nervous before games,
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
No, you don't.
- You do? - Yeah.
But you seem so calm.
Well then it's working.
What's working? Heh.
My secret.
Fake it 'til you make it.
That's it?
That's it.
So when do you stop being nervous?
I'll let you know when I make it.
Go, go, go, Bombers!
Okay, listen up.
You guys just go out there and do your best and have fun.
And you remember: you earned this.
Now, let's go!
- Come on! Let's go! - Wait.
All these other teams have these great pregame cheers
to get them pumped,
and we just walk out onto the field.
She's got a point. Any ideas, Bug?
Just one. Come on.
Soccer, soccer, that's our game! Breakaways, Breakaways,
that's our name! You can't beat us, no you can't!
Victory, victory, is our chant! Hustle, hustle, we don't stop!
Breakaways, to the top! Say it with me, say it proud!
- Breakaways, say it loud! - Breakaways!
- Whoo! All right. - Who knew? Heh, heh.
Let's go, girls!
Nice job, Penny! Good steal!
- Okay, pass it! - Penny! Penny!
Lateral it over and just do the lateral thing over to Bug!
Come on, let's go! You got it, take the shot! Take the shot!
Just like that! Touchdown!
Go, go!
Good job.
Come on, Claire. Come on. Come on.
- Yeah! - Yes!
Penny, go! Gia, watch 12!
Watch 'em. Penny! Shoot! Shoot it right now! Yeah!
- Yes! - Forty, 60, 80, one.
That's how you earn it. Good job. Mm.
Good job, Crush.
- Whoa. Nice shot. - Way to go, Cindy.
Hmph. Be home by dinner.
Okay, Lexi, stand tall.
You go, Lexi! You go!
Hey, hey, hey. Listen. Listen.
You just made Diamond Cup final.
You are going to Harris Stadium to play on the same field
as the U.S. Women's National team!
Hey.
You ready?
Heh. No...
Totally.
That's what I'm talking about.
All right, girls. Let's work.
Knees up!
Winners always do knees up!
Yeah, let's go, number 9. Let's go, 12.
Karaoke time.
You know what I'm singin'.
Winners always do sides.
Winners always stretch.
That's right.
Good job, Bug. Good job, lookin' ready.
Stay on your toes. There you go.
All right, girls, you got this, okay?
Just play your game. All right?
I'm proud of you. Just play hard.
Nice, Reagan. Nice touches.
She's ready.
I know. And she stopped talking to herself.
Claire's dad has been taking some high-angle footage
of the Breakaway games.
Watch 13, watch 13, watch 13, watch 13.
She's dangerous.
Take away her right.
Today, you girls are gonna pull off
the greatest sporting upset since Mike Eruzione, Jim Craig,
and the rest of the Americans beat the Russians.
- And as Herb Brooks said... - Who?
The 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.
Lake Placid?
"Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"
No?
We weren't born then.
My dad wasn't born then.
Right. Okay.
One! Two! Three!
Crush! Kick! Destroy!
Say it with me, say it proud! Breakaways, Breakaways,
- say it loud! - Breakaways!
Let's go, girls. Come on, girls.
Crush soccer time! No mercy, no loss.
Hey, Reg. Have fun!
Oh, my dad's company is gonna look into buying that lot
across from your house.
Come on, Claire. You know what to do.
All right, let's play our style. Our style.
Go, Penny, go!
Pass it! Pass it! Come on!
Teacup, what are you doing?
That's good, Penny. That's good.
Get it in there. Get it up. Get it up. Come on!
Steal! Steal!
You go, girl!
All right, all right, all right.
Nice, Gia!
Come on, come on, Penny. Back it up! Back it up!
Go, Claire! Go, go!
Here we go. Here we go!
Whoo!
Ha, ha! Thattagirl!
Lexi, it's okay.
Hey! That's okay. It's just one.
It's just one. That's okay.
Come on, teamwork!
That a baby, Claire!
Hey. Remember.
Still not getting my usual 25.
Crush! You know what that means.
Get in there! Come on!
Nice job!
- Oh! - Oh!
Okay, no bounce, no bounce, no bounce!
Agh! Okay, no second bounce.
Good, good.
All right, move it up, move it up.
On it! See, Penny? Get in there.
Nice job, Penny.
Come around, Gia. There you go.
Go, go, go!
Looking good.
Good teamwork! There you go, Penny!
Very good, Gia. There you go. Gia, come down, help her out.
- Here we go! Here we go! - Watch her!
Watch, don't let her kick!
Crush!
Boom! Yes!
That's how you do it.
That is a Bishop in the house.
That a way, Claire. Whoo!
Jog off, jog off! Winners always jog off.
Don't give up. All right?
We've got a second half to play. It's not over.
'Cause we have time.
And time is good, because with time,
you have time, and time is...
Is... Is the opposite of not time. Which would be....
You know who won Diamond Cup last year?
Crush.
Yeah, Crush.
You know who the runner up was?
Hm?
If we lose today, nobody will remember what we did.
We'll just go back to being known as the girls who got cut.
The players nobody wanted.
The ones Crush makes fun of.
And maybe that's who we are.
Or maybe not.
Because today is our chance to force the Claire's of the world
and everybody else to call us what we really are:
not Breakaways, but champions.
Now, let's get out there and show 'em!
Yeah!
Anything to add?
No, that was great.
That...? Was that an Alex Morgan speech?
No. It was a Reagan speech.
Have fun, girls.
Play hard. Okay? Just play hard. Do your best.
Sweet mother of pearl.
Do...? Do they have practice later?
Are they gonna watch us?
Reagan!
Regs!
Fake it.
Okay, let's finish them off.
- Finish them off. - Get in there, Penny!
Get in there!
Ooh!
Steal! Steal, ladies. Steal. Steal!
For crying out loud, Logan. Heh.
Come on, move! Move!
- Reagan, Reagan! - Ladies, ladies.
Nice job!
Pretty good.
Let's take it home, girls.
Go, Reagan! Go, go!
Go, Reagan! Go, Reagan!
- No. No! - Go, Reagan!
There you go. Go, Reagan!
Good job! Good job!
There! You did it!
Way to go, Reagan!
That's a foul!
Wait, does anybody know how to play defense?
Believe. Believe. Believe.
Come on!
Go, Bug!
Bug, go!
Bug, cross! Bug, cross to Penny!
No!
Claire!
What are you doing out there?
Sweetheart, you're gonna have to get off the field
- if you're gonna play that way. - Stop.
- Whoo! - Yes!
Way to go, Breakaways! Way to go!
Back, back, back, back!
Time for one more push. One more push, Reagan!
Stop her! Come on!
Push her to her right.
She has no left!
Hit it up! Come on!
Yeah! Yeah!
Claire.
Let's go.
You've got game footage to look at.
Both cameras. Let's go.
Aw, shoot.
Forgot my backpack.
Go ahead. I'll meet you guys in the parking lot.
Hey. I just wanted to tell you: nice left.
Thank you.
Th-Thanks.
I... I couldn't have done it without you, Alex.
What do you mean? You just did.
You don't...?
Maybe it wasn't real.
What wasn't real?
You...
You inspired me and helped me get here today.
Thanks. That means a lot.
Do I know you?
Feels like it, huh?
Yeah, it's... You remind me of me.
Can I ask you something?
A favor?
It's kind of a big one?
Sure.
Good job.
But I think it's time to move on to the next level.
Who's next?
Me!
Okay, we're doing two-a-touch. Are you ready?
- Yeah! - Perfect.
I scored a lot of goals last season. Heh.
Thanks. Heh.
Dad!
You're not gonna believe it.
Claire made a donation.
Thank you, Claire.
Uh, can I get everyone's attention, please?
Uh, first off, I want to say a very special thank you
to Alex Morgan for being here and donating her time today.
Thank you, Alex.
Thanks, guys.
And to all of you
who have come here today to help us save our field,
because we did it.
