Why I Love Galactik Football…

I watch this every week with my little brother Thierry, on Saturday mornings.  Galactik Football is about the most amazing sport in the world, soccer!  This show is about a young soccer team made up of teenagers called the Snow Kids who play in the Akillian Galactik Cup against some of the most amazing teams I have ever seen.  These teams play against each other in a "Champions League" style tournament representing each of their planets.  The tournament was created in order for each planet to defend their "Breath" instead of going to war.  The soccer field became their battlefield to determine the winner without violence.  Some of these teams are robots, others are aliens...you just never know what the other team will look like or what powers they will bring to the field.  Some will be super fast; others will have incredible strength and some will have both of those and more.  The animation movements are so realistic that you feel like you are watching real players as they run, shoot and do tricks - it's sooo cool!

The main characters are  D'Jok, Sinedd, Micro-Ice, Mei, Thran, Ahito, Rocket and Tia.  My favourite player is the captain, Rocket.  I like him because he is an amazing player that is confident, smart and very wise.  The goalie Ahito makes me laugh because he is always sleeping, even during games, but wakes up just when you need him to make a save.  He is my little brother's favourite player.  This young team reminds me of my soccer team as I start each season with some new players and we learn how to play as a team to become successful and learn to work as a unit.  The amazing thing about the Snow Kids is that they have a special power called "The Breath" or "Flux", which allows them to take their talent and make it amazing whenever they need it.  Their moves become better, stronger and faster.  The other teams never know what hit them.  They become soccer "super heroes"!  I love this part because when I watch the show I always think to myself that it would be amazing to have "the Breath" when I play because it would be awesome to be able to jump, shoot, and pass just like them.  It would definitely make me feel like a soccer superhero.  If you love soccer and cartoons, this is the one show you cannot miss!  You can enjoy it in French on Saturday mornings at 9:00 a.m. on Radio Canada.  If you cannot wait until the weekend, go to their website and watch all the episodes at www.galactikfootball.com.  You can also watch the show in English by checking it out on YouTube.

Trust me, you will get hooked!
