Summary[]

Everybody is busy with the preparations for the event of the year, the largest soccer game of all time! The favoured team of the "Wild Dogs " assumed the challenge of equally favoured "Lionkings".
The coach of the "Wild Dogs" spends sleepless nights. Does Bulli his left defender never learns not to beat up his opponent- or Butcher, the-Keeper, never loose his fear of a penalty kick? Also in the opposing team there are problems. The best forward of the "Lionkings", the small lion, never wants to pass the ball. And to make things even worse, a swarm of Hooligeese is reported to be on the way....

Finally the time has come. The match is about to begin.

Trivia[]

Goofs[]

During their first talk with Harry, a brick appears between shots under Jovi's feet.
Krümel isn't allowed to play soccer because he's too small, yet another small dog about his size gets to play in the match.
After Richard successfully picks up the ball with his trunk, Jovi's fur is a darker color.
Some German prints of this movie have the voiceless track overlapping the German track of the film, which is noticable during the last scene of the movie where the dialogue plays much quieter than it should be.

English dub[]

The audio is out of sync with the visuals even more so than in other English-language versions of Dingo Pictures cartoons. All of the voice acting was done by two persons, and it is very rarely do their lines correspond to the mouth movements of the characters.
At several points (most notably whenever Gertrud does her ambulance noises and during the musical numbers), the audio from the Dutch dub can be heard.
During the soccer match, the announcer reports on the ball missing the goal several seconds before it actually happens.
