Just thirteen months before the opening match of the 2014 World
Cup, Brazil has been declared fi nancially bankrupt and has no
alternative other than to withdraw from hosting the tournament.
Faced with this unprecedented emergency, the thoroughly inept yet
ruthlessly tyrannical President of the Global Confederation de
Football, Horst Gasch, and his obtuse sidekick, Senior Vice
President, Serge Le Planque, must fi nd another host nation...and
fast. Both are zealous Anglophobes and are desperate to maintain
their strategy of staging the tournament anywhere in the world
...except England. Meanwhile, due the death of the local MP in
extremely sordid circumstances, Alan "Boots" Boothroyd, football
fanatic and manager of Sunday league team, overcomes a personal
crisis by deciding to run for Parliament. After becoming
sensationally elected, Boots stumbles across the debaucherous
nocturnal pursuits of the country's senior politicians. Armed with
information that could bring down the government, Boots ingeniously
maneuvers himself into an extraordinary position within the dark,
sinister corridors of Westminster. On the fi eld, the English
football team is in total disarray. Coached by a hapless manager
and deprived of key players by the Premier League manager's policy
of "club before country," the national team has suffered defeat
after defeat in the matches leading up to the World Cup. When the
tournament fi nally begins, Horst Gasch and the hierarchy of the
Global Confederation de Football deviously conspire to engineer a
humiliating exit for England. In response, Boots decides to fi ght
back and do whatever it takes for England in her quest for a
"Second Star" above the Three Lions Crest.
