It's soccer season in Sunnyview and Captain Awesome and Nacho Cheese Man are ready to play! All superheroes are spectacular at sports...right?

Eugene McGillicudy and Charlie Thomas Jones can't wait to join Sunnyview's eight-year-old soccer team. These superhero pals have no doubt that they will lead the team to victory. MI-TEE!
