Who is the Worst Football Team in the world? Your search is over. Lane FC Meerkats U7s are a truly terrible football team.

Coach Mark knows his players can't tackle, pass or shoot. They can run - but often not in the right direction. The team - Bolo, Brendan, Hildy, Stevie, Dribbler, Pellie and Dazza - think they're budding superstars. They are the exact opposite of that.

However, hang on for a moment.

The Meerkats' next game will be against Trundle FC, a side almost as useless as them.

Hold on. Can the team do the impossible and win?

No. Calm down. But with a little luck, they might score - and double their goals total.

Has the Meerkats' big moment finally arrived?
