Synopsis
The most daring team of junior soccer players to take to the hallowed green turf, “The Wild Soccer Bunch”, is back! This time they not only have to defend the trophy of trophies, the Teufelstopf, and their command of the town against the dreaded skater gang, the Flammenmuetzen, but also fight for Vanessa (a girl of all things!) who’s fallen in love with their leader! The motto still applies: “If you want to be cool, you got to be wild”.

Director’s statement
“It all started five years ago. My son’s soccer team wanted to be as dangerous as their favourite team, 1860 Munich, wear black and play with a black ball! There are now Wilde Kerle soccer teams all over Germany and the first championship was held this year. Two years on the children are older. So the story’s older as well. The love story is important. They’re no longer just cool kids but have a sense of humour. It’s not as simple as before”.
