„The Liverpool Goalie” is a warm comedy, in which both girls and boys play football, worship their idols, and are frustrated by complicated friendships, young love, anxious mothers and overambitious football coaches. At the heart of the events, we find 12-year-old Jo. Jo tries to avoid both potential girlfriends, mothers and football coaches, as he is hunting desperately for a rare football card which he believes will solve all his problems. Jo has a smart head, but a weak body. Even so, he gets by relatively well - until Mari throws him a glance, and he acquires The Liverpool Goalie.
