Summary In this sitcom, the very-small-league amateur soccer team from the homonymous movie ("de serie" is Dutch for "The Series") which is so bad at the game even their emancipated girls have a hard time taking it seriously -causing increasing domestic tension- continue to enjoy the team camaraderie with a comical dose of macho rivalry. Driving force is Eric, a trendy yuppie lawyer who's captain, secretary etc. all in one despite having the busiest professional life, but hesitates to introduce his gay partner Geert to them - till the couple concocts the plan to make the former non-soccer-fan the team's trainer. His best friend, Stef, is a charmer but utterly unreliable. Equaly over-competitive is Franky, a drop-out without qualifications who never holds a job due to his brutish attitude but the soccer-passionate son of the boys original trainer. Vic is a philosophy graduate who resists pressure to follow in the footsteps of his father, a wealthy businessman. Jean-Marc is as clumsy as -improbable for a police officer- shy, weak and squeamish. Goal-keeper Jos runs a garden center. The other players are little more then extras in the plot, which develops one or more basically independent stories in each episode. Continued in 2005 under the title "Team spirit - de serie II" View more details
