What is Football Academy - The Real Thing about?

United’s under-twelves travel to Poland for an international football tournament, where goalkeeper Tomasz is thrilled to be playing in his home country. Team captain Ryan, however, believes Poland is rubbish and makes his feelings clear, both on and off the pitch. When English players face bullying from local opponents, Ryan must confront his own behaviour and decide whether to stand by Tomasz. Can the two boys overcome their differences, or will Ryan’s prejudice ruin United’s chance of lifting the trophy?
