[[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] is proud that her father is the new coach of the soccer team—until he starts exhausting everyone on the squad with drills like the Piston, the Muffler, and, worst of all, the Shock Absorber.

The episode opens with [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] saying how soccer practice hasn't been the same ever since Mr. Crosswire took over as coach. He has been shouting out pump-up phrases during the drills that no one really seems motivated about. After a while, Arthur is up next in the drill and gets struck in the face with a soccer ball.

Back at the Crosswire residence, Mr. Crosswire is watching an old video of when he played soccer at Muffy's age while getting ideas for the game. Muffy wishes to talk to him and she sits on the couch with him. In the video where game Mr. Crosswire played, his team got drubbed 12-0. Back then, he wasn't much of a soccer player. Muffy once again considers not being the goaltender because she's afraid of losing. Mr. Crosswire believes that she did much better today, considering she stopped two shots. As a result, Muffy is appointed as substitute goaltender and she feels much better.

The next day, Lakewood squares off against Mighty Mountain. Buster, worried, thinks that they are history. Arthur believes that they will be ancient history while the Brain thinks pre-history. Mr. Crosswire asks who's ready to play, but the kids say the cheer in a tired and unconfident way. Then, the game is underway. Buster is afraid about Mr. Crosswire quitting if the team loses. Buster, uses his "muffler" to pass the ball to Francine, but he gets knocked down. Francine gets the ball while Muffy cheers and coaches with a megaphone. Then, Francine scores a goal to make it 1-0 for Lakewood. Arthur believes that they are losing, but Buster corrects him by saying that they are in the lead 3-2. Arthur loses track of the ball and Mighty Mountain goes for a shot. The Brain stops the shot, but he gets injured on the play, spraining his ankle. It is up to Muffy now to be the goaltender. She seems very nervous as play continues. She attempts to stop a Mighty Mountain shot, but it trickles into the net, tying the game for Mighty Mountain at 3-3. With ten seconds to go, Mighty Mountain attempts to get the ball on goal, but Muffy stops the shot, ending the game in a 3-3 tie. Muffy believes that she got scored on, but Mr. Crosswire tells her that she stopped the shot and is very proud of her. Then, the team celebrates as Mrs. Crosswire takes her video. Finally, we see a future scene of when Muffy is a grown up and has kids and a soccer team of her own, showing them that moment of when she saved the game. Then, she teaches everyone the cheer that her father taught her, which tires them out as well.
