* ItsAllAboutMe: Vince is too concerned about the trophy to allow Mikey to play with his team, and his selfish nature really comes back to haunt him and the Viper Sharks in the final. After bringing Spinelli out of the goal, Vince, Spinelli and T.J. easily beat Lawson's [[EpicFail lousy defense]], leaving Lawson sobbing on the pitch and creating a three-on-none break at the goal. However, rather than pass to T.J. or Spinelli in front of an open net (as Mikey would have no chance to cover all of them), Vince's selfish nature wins out and he takes the shot from the edge of the box. Mikey has enough time to make the save, cueing a massive OhCrap from Vince, T.J. and Spinelli.

Added DiffLines:

During a big soccer game, Mikey fails to obtain a good position with his team, so he joins Lawson's team instead.

!!Tropes:
*CurbStompBattle: TJ, Vince, and Spinelli easily defeat the Ashleys due to the latter team's goalie being constantly distracted by phone calls.
*DirtyCoward: Gelman refuses to catch the soccer ball as goalie, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and he leaves because of this]].
*EmbarrassingFirstName: It is from Mikey that we learn that Lawson's first name is Erwin.
*HiddenDepths: As scorekeepers, Gus and Gretchen can create a state-of-the-art ([[TechnologyMarchesOn for 1997-98 at least]]) scoreboard.
**Not to mention that Jocko went to soccer camp and knows the tricks of the trade to soccer.
*HypocriticalHumor:
-->'''Vince''': If Lawson wins, we're gonna look like dummies.\\
'''TJ''': Ooh! Don't wanna look like no dummies!
*PetTheDog: Upon enlisting him as goalie, Lawson is genuinely nice to Mikey. He even invites Mikey to his victory party once his team wins.
