It's that time of the year when captain Bram must call everyone to 'remind' them of paying for membership, while they wine about receiving the club newsletter. When the chairman insists to get the whole arrear paid before the Swiftboys are allowed to play, just now they have their first chance ever to win a season against their arch-rivals the Poldervogels, Peter is prepared to advance the small fortune. Willem has a weekend from hell: his wife Anja hounds him not just in their garden center as usual but insists he keeps his promise to drive her and their offspring to the beach, despite the horrible traffic cue; once there, he can't handle missing out on the crucial game, and cycles all the way back. The mates were agreeing to chuck the soccer in altogether, but Willem refuses to see all his sacrifices go wasted, and plays the game of his life, only not just the way he meant...

Anja considers returning to Suriname, Bram even switching careers from his law firm to her garden center...

Hid widow Anja tells Willem's last wish is to have his ashes distributed over the 'holy grass' at Duch premier league club PSV, so the Swift Boys head for Eindhoven, in the southern province Northern Brabant. They manage to get in masquerading as some of PSV's newly recruited foreign players, but first get lost in the huge stadium, then can't get Willem's urn open and when they finally have a tool... Back home, Nemo manages in one day to loose the ball, forget about the gas so his home burns down and cause the glass cups display window to fall to pieces; ruffian Johny takes his mate in, helps him make a new display case and makes a cocky pass at whorish club canteen waitress Nadja, who keeps him in check by blatant threats of genital mutilation, yet falls for gentle Nemo and his weed, even agreeing to take their cloths off, which reveals her to be an ex-con under electronic surveillance...
