The ancient city of Ankh-Morpork is now home to a new kind of football: rapid football with balls that shoot and goalposts shaped like pointed hats. Gone is the grim, old-fashioned pushing and shoving. Now that they have to win a football game without utilizing magic, the wizards of Unseen University will try anything else.
An urchin with a talent for kicking a tin can, a pie maker known for his cheerful creations, a shy but beautiful young lady who may become the next great fashion model, and the enigmatic Mr. Nutt are all drawn to The Big Match. (Not even Mr. Nutt himself is really knowledgeable about him).
Four lives are permanently altered as the battle gets closer. Because football is more than simply a game. That is the thing about football, the vital thing about football.
Let's get started! Let's get started! Let's get started!
