Ep 24. Soccer Sucker

Sportacus, the superhero of LazyTown, is organizing a soccer game for the kids. Stephanie is excited but Robbie Rotten is not. He sneaks into the clubhouse and replaces the soccer ball with a half-deflated one. The kids are disappointed but decide to play anyway. Everyone is enjoying the game until the ball becomes flat, and no one has a spare ball. Ziggy offers to go back to his house to get another ball, but he ends up getting lost. He finds himself at Robbie Rotten's lair and accidentally activates the Robbie-puppet machine.

Robbie Rotten puts a soccer ball into the machine and creates a Robbie-puppet soccer player. He sends the puppet to the soccer field to play against the LazyTown kids. At first, the puppet is not very good, but as the game progresses, it becomes more and more skilled. The puppet scores goal after goal, and the LazyTown kids start to get demoralized. They can't believe how good the puppet is.

Meanwhile, Ziggy is still lost and wandering through LazyTown. He sees a billboard for a soccer store and realizes that he can buy a new ball there. He runs to the store, but it is closed. He tries to break in but sets off an alarm and gets caught. The store owner calls Sportacus, who comes to see what is going on. Ziggy explains the situation, and Sportacus realizes that Robbie Rotten must be behind it.

Back at the soccer field, the LazyTown kids are losing badly. They can't figure out how to beat the puppet, and they are getting tired and frustrated. Just when all seems lost, Sportacus arrives with Ziggy and a brand new soccer ball. He tells the kids that they have to work together and come up with a strategy to beat the puppet.

The kids regroup and come up with a plan. They decide to use the fact that the puppet is a robot against it. They kick the ball towards the puppet, but they fake it and kick it to the side at the last minute. The puppet can't adjust in time and falls down. The kids continue to use this strategy, and eventually, the puppet is defeated.

The episode ends with the LazyTown kids celebrating their victory. They thank Sportacus and Ziggy for their help and decide to continue playing soccer together. Robbie Rotten, watching from a distance, is disappointed that his plan failed but decides to keep trying. The show closes with a song about teamwork and the importance of never giving up.
