After he is made fun of for playing poorly at soccer, a group of Care Bears including Cheer Bear, Funshine Bear, Champ Bear, Grumpy Bear, and Friend Bear travel to Earth to help cheer him up. Together with his friend Mary, the seven form a team to take on a group of boys led by a bully named Timmy in order to boost Carl's self-esteem.
Despite doubting himself at first, Carl is able to score the first goal for his side with Champ Bear's help after he guides the ball into the goal with his Belly badge, and soon scores again after yet another assist from Champ. Carl is made the goalie at the end of the game where he successful blocks a shot and sends the ball down court for a series of passes that results in the final winning goal. The bears carry him off the field as the crowd and everyone watching in Care-a-Lot cheer him on. Split Decision
