Episode guide

=Episode 1
One ball, 16 cones. - 16 nerds, who had never touched a football, top-train for three months, after the completion of which they will play against FCK, one of the top soccer teams in Denmark, in Parken, the national stadium. In the lead as coach is the former national team player and goal-king Mark Strudal. FC Zulu consists of a pack of logical thinking computer nerds, role players and a single politician. When the players meet their coach Mark Strudal for the first time, they realized that what they had signed up for was no picnic. First challenge: a training match against a teenage girl team from Skovlunde. Result: a shocked Mark Strudal.
Episode 2
Strudal is tired of the nerds' intellectual debating society on the pitch. They must learn to act as a team. To that end, he sends them on a teambuilding trip to Lejre. Strudal also has a hidden agenda - he wants to find the team's captain on the trip. Dressed in Viking clothes and small leather moccasins, FC ZULU would, during the course of two days, become a close-knit unit. The solidarity is on trial for real, when one of the players is kidnapped by five hostile riders and hung out over "The Victin Bog".
Episode 3
The boys are gradually well started with the training, but they should also learn to sell themselves as a real football team. They should therefore definitely have a battle song à la "Re-Sepp-Ten". With Signe Svendsen as FC Zulu's own "Dodo" go the team in the studio, but there is a surprise for the boys - they should not only use their rusty song voices, but their condition will also be tested, when it come to realize for them, that a real music video (of course) also has both fancy dancing scenes and hot girls.

One ball, 16 cones. - 16 nerds, who never had touched a football, should top-train in three months, whereupon they will play against FCK i PARKEN - a scenario, which all the players fears. To learn them to watch the fear in the eyes, sends Mark Strudal his team into Vridsløselille State Prison to play against the prisoners. The prisoners' team consists of murder- and narco- prisoners, so the panic in FC Zulu spreads, when the players see their opponents for the first time. Can referee Kim Milton control the prisoners?

Nerds are often superintelligent - but are more interested in computers than the latest trends. It must be different, if the players should charm the female fans in Parken. Strudal sends the players to make-over at Zulu's "Modepatrulje" (Danish: Fashion Patrol), who gives the players a "lovely" treatment. There is a big surprise for the nerds' families, when they later appear with the right Beckham-look on the red runner in Imperial Cinema.
Episode 7
So are we there soon - the nerds from FC Zulu should very soon play the big match in Parken against the FCK-lions. Even though Strudal has used all strengths into the training, the players are still a bit doubtful on the pitch.
