      It's playoff time for the Bobcats, and Loop, Ben's nemesis from the Falcons, has predicted Ben's team will lose 06. Already nervous about game day, Ben must keep his cool and not let Loop get inside his head. On-the-field action along with detailed playing tips (appended) provide readers with solid advice about not only soccer but also about comportment and teamwork.
