Oh! Look, Coogee.
This adventure is called
- Super Numtum And The Hall Of Football Heroes. - Numtum!
According to my Mischief Detector,
Fluffy McTuffy has sneaked into the football stadium.
I wonder what she's up to this time.
Oh, look, Lizzie, we're in
Not-So-Super Numtum's Hall Of Football Heroes.
There are pictures of him everywhere.
And a statue! Yuck!
Well, I was once a famous football player.
- Whatever. - What are you up to, Fluffy McTuffy?
I'm on the lookout for a HUGE trophy for being the naughtiest
koala in the whole, wide world.
So, I'm taking that one and you can't stop me, hee-hee.
No, but you'll have to get past the six Mega Hamsters
that guard my trophy.
Not that it's any of your business, but I've been very clever.
I have some delicious hamster puffs to keep them busy
while I take the trophy.
No hamster can resist them, ha-ha-ha.
Ha-ha-ha-ha some more!
One for you, one for you,
one for you, one for you
and one for you.
Erm, sorry. All gone.
At last, the trophy is mine.
So shiny.
There are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Mega Hamster guards, Fluffy,
but you only gave 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of them hamster puffs.
Paws off, it's mine!
Whoa!
Lizzie, give it a hamster puff to stop it squeaking.
Oh, hamster-doodles!
Thanks to the Mega Hamsters,
my superhero football trophy is safe from your naughty paws.
SHE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
THEY BLOW RASPBERRIES
- Wow, I want to be a football hero too. - Numtum!
But we need to play football to become football heroes.
Did somebody say football?
Get ready for the Great Gumnut football match!
1, 2, 1, 2!
ALL: Hup, hup, hup, huuup!
Have we got a great game for you today.
- Have we? - Yes, Billy.
Only Numpups United v Athletico Flamingo!
Oh, I'm so excited I could shake a tail feather!
Come on, Numpups! Drop and give me five.
1, 2, 1, 2...
Gladdy, I have had this sports bag since I was a pup.
It should have a football in it somewhere.
- Oooh! - That's a pineapple.
- Ho-ho-ho. Pogo stick! - Oh...
Ho-ho-ho!
Thank you, Flinders.
Squark...
Squawk, squawk, squawk...
Squaaaawk!
I'm here with Gladdy, who's looking after Numpups United.
How do you feel about playing Athletico Flamingo today, Gladdy?
Are they tough enough to beat Numpups United? I don't think so!
But I'm sure they'll put in a good effort, once they learn the rules.
Thank you, Gladdy.
And speaking of rules, Billy is going to be the referee
for this match, which means he'll be
making sure everyone sticks to the rules.
- How do you plan to do that, Billy? - Well, I've got a shiny whistle.
- Good start. - And I've been given Gladdy's big book of rules.
There seems to be a rule for everything.
Always eat your breakfast...
No feet on the table...
Always wear sun cream.
Oh. Are you wearing sun cream?
Uh, well...
- No. - I'm sorry, but rules are rules.
Nice save, Coogee! I think you could be Gladdy's little goalkeeper.
Numtum!
Let's take a quick look at the teams.
Each team should have the same amount of players.
One Numpup, one Flamingo, one Numpup, one Flamingo...
Ah! You'll get the idea.
BILLY BLOWS WHISTLE
1, 2, 4, 5, 6 Flamingos!
OK, let's have the Numpup team.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
HE BLOWS THE WHISTLE
Wait! You need to be taller than this line to play.
- It's a rule. - Numtum?
I think that rule is for is for theme park rides, Billy,
not football games.
- Numtum? - Rules are rules, Coogee.
Num-num-num!
- Maybe next time, little Numpup. - Numtum!
There are six Flamingos and only five Numpups.
Oh, it's going to be tough without a goalkeeper, but we can do it.
Go, Numpups! YEAH!
Yay!
Before we start, I just want to go over a few more rules for the game.
There will be no pudding unless you eat your vegetables.
You will wipe your feet before you come into the house,
and you will say your "please" and "thank yous," thank you.
- Oh! - And Numpups United are the first to take the ball.
Bendy Go kicks the ball to Humpty Do, who passes it to Champer.
Champer, Champer! Pass the ball to me.
- BILLY BLOWS THE WHISTLE - Uh-uh-uh, Da-Da!
It's "Pass the ball to me, PLEASE."
Huh?
Oh, I can't look!
Uh-oh... Are we about to see our first goal?
That was a close one.
BILLY BLOWS THE WHISTLE
I found another rule. No running. You were running.
No running isn't a rule for football, Billy,
- it's for when you're by the swimming pool. - Rules are rules.
How about we just walk really, really fast?
There's no rule against that, so, OK.
The Numpup team is walking really, really fast towards the goal
and the ball is too.
Quick, don't let it go in!
Oh, phew!
THEY BLOW HORNS
NUMTUM GASPS
We need to try and score a goal.
BILLY BLOWS WHISTLE
Half-time! Everyone has to have a rest now.
Really great game, Athletico Flamingo.
Well, that was an action-packed first half, but Numpups United
will really need to pull their socks up to win this.
- And that's not easy when you don't wear socks. - Awww.
I wish you were tall enough to play, Coogee.
If only we could make you taller.
Numtum? Numtum!
Numtum, Numtum!
- Numtum, Numtum, Numtum! - Can I help you?
- BILLY BLOWS WHISTLE - Everyone back on the pitch,
it's time for the second half.
One Flamingo, one Numpup, one Flamingo,
one Numpup, one Flamingo, one Numpup, one Flamingo, one Numpup...
Hang on a second, hee-hee. You don't fool me.
You're on a pogo stick, aren't you?
Numtum!
Well, I can't see a rule against playing football on pogo sticks,
so...it must be OK.
Whoo-hoo! Numtum!
BILLY BLOWS WHISTLE
A great kick from Bendy Go!
Squawk!
Uh-oh...
And it's a great save from Coogee.
Go, Coogee!
Things seem to be going much better for Numpups United!
But we haven't much time left.
The Numpups will have to score a goal soon
if they want to win!
Oh, come on, Numpups. You can win this!
Oh, oh, pass it to me!
Uh, please?
Numtum.
Thank you!
Uh-hup!
Hey...
Oh, a great tackle from a Flamingo, there!
Squawk!
Time's nearly up. We have to finish when the time is up.
Rules are rules!
BOING, BOING, BOING...
- BILLY BLOWS WHISTLE - It's a goal!
ALL: HURRAH!
Whoo-hoo! We won!
And the final score is...
one goal to Numpups United,
no goals to Athletico Flamingo.
Great game, team.
- You made Flamingos everywhere proud. - Squawk!
Well, I say, that was a great game played by all.
And in my rule book, that means termite treats all round!
OK, Numtums, no speaking with your mouth full,
and chew before you swallow.
ALL: Oh, Billy!
What? Rules are...
ALL: Rules!
ALL: Hee-hee!
