Premise

Robbie climbs inside a soccer-playing robot and challenges Sportacus to a match – and if Sportacus loses, he’ll have to leave town forever. But the robot goes haywire, so Sportacus and the kids have to play against it until it runs out of energy. Pixel, who almost never comes outside to play games, becomes the game's hero when he puts his video game-playing skills to use in a real soccer game.

Plot synopsis

Prologue

The episode starts with a view of Sportacus' Airship. The view then quickly changes to Sportacus who is juggling a soccer ball. After kicking it a few times he does a back flip kick sending the ball into the hole in the wall. He then presses the switch on the floor sending another ball flying out towards him. After kicking it a few times, he kicks it back into the hole again, only to accidentally step on the switch causing the ball to fly out and hit him in the back of the head.

Epilogue

Back in the lair Robbie Rotten sits in his chair looking depressed muttering under his breath, when the Soccer-Bot 6000 mysteriously activates and chases Robbie around the room, angry that he "made him lose".

Trivia

• The scene where they defeated the Soccer-Bot was shown in the earlier episode "Dear Diary", so "Soccer Sucker", which is the 24th episode of Season 1, could have been made before "Dear Diary", the 16th episode.
• This episode was planned before the series had begun filming, as it is shown in the pilot.
