It's 1994; the day of the World Cup Final in the United States of
America, The atmosphere is e-lec-tric. A capacity crowd is waiting for
the match to begin. So too, thousands of miles across the water, is
Soccer Kid, sat in front of his television.

A million miles away in outer space, far above the planet Earth,
the alien pirate Scab is scanning the area for a trophy of Great
Importonce to add to his enormous collection.

^Beep beep beep!' goes the scanner as it locates the World Cup,
the most prestigious reward on Earth, shining brightly in the American
sun.

Suddenly, a blanket of darkness falls over the stadium and Scab's
spaceship materialises. The crowd is dumb struck until the World Cup
disappears from view. They gasp. They boo. They cry seconds later
when the stadium is relit... and Scab's ship is already orbiting the
Earth.

BANG! The smug Scab collides with an asteroid. The World Cup
shatters into five pieces which fall to Earth, each chunk landing on a
different part of the globe.

Soccer Kid decides there and then to save the day by recovering
the five pieces of the World Cup.

switch the power on.

Things are a little more peaceful here but
it's still no walk in the park.

Watch out for Simon's Silly Cyclists and
Deranged Dogs roaming the str

London West End

Back to the hustle and bustle of the city. If
you reach the end look out for Goreth, a rogue
rugby player.

The Riviera

It's hard to miss the Moped Maniacs riding
up and down the beach.

Roman Ruins

Among the crumbling masonry you will
find swinging demolition bolls, deadly darts,
Poisonous Snokes and (GULP) ghosts.

The Venice Lido

A beautiful beach and a rare performance
by the world famous opera singer Paverelli.

He hates footboll and kids. Oh dear!

f¥USSIA

Moscow
