Antonio Soave Announces Super Soccer Kids™: The First Mission, Coming Soon to Amazon

Nov 6, 2026

Four soccer-loving friends put their skills to the test when a giant robot threatens to drain a city’s power.

Olathe, Kansas Nov 6, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Author Antonio J. Soave announces the upcoming release of Super Soccer Kids: The First Mission, a children's adventure about four friends whose soccer skills become superpowers. Published by Capistrano Publishing, the book is coming soon to Amazon.

Tony, Nigel, Gino, and Mary spend their afternoons practicing on the field behind their school. Their classmates know them as good soccer players and supportive teammates. Then one afternoon, their watches light up with a call for help from Central Soccer Command, and the four friends trade their school clothes for superhero suits.

Coach Rafael sends them to Penalty-Opolis, where a giant robot named Dr. No Goal is draining the city's electricity. With Amos, their robotic guide dog, at the controls of the Super Soccer Jet, the team races to help. Captain Tony has a shot powerful enough to knock down obstacles. Nigel can sprint past danger in a flash. Gino, the fearless goalkeeper, can leap into the air to block attacks. And Mary, the Super Soccer Girl, can place a kick exactly where it needs to go. To stop the robot, they'll have to work together.

The adventure brings teamwork, fair play, and kindness off the soccer field and into the team's first mission. The First Mission could make a great Christmas gift for young readers, families who enjoy reading together, and soccer fans who love a superhero adventure.

The announcement follows the recent release of Soave's Ice Time, available now on Amazon.

Olivarez rallies past Damian, sets up title clash with Tangub in National Open

MANILA, Philippines — Eric Olivarez overcame a second-set stumble to reassert his dominance over Noel Damian, scoring a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 victory to book his place in the finals of the Mayor Edwin Olivarez National Open Tennis Championships on Friday at the Olivarez Sports Center in Sucat. After cruising through the opening set, the top-seeded Olivarez found himself in a tougher battle as Damian raised his level and forced a tense exchange of service holds. Damian held serve in the ninth game before breaking Olivarez in the next, rallying from a 15-40 deficit by winning four straight points to snatch the second set and even the match. But the setback proved only a temporary interruption for the Western Michigan product, who regrouped and regained control in the decider. Olivarez broke Damian in the third game and steadily tightened his grip on the match, keeping his opponent on the defensive. After conceding the seventh game, Olivarez responded with a decisive burst of four straight points to build a commanding 5-2 cushion before closing out the match in the next game. Standing between Olivarez and the championship crown is Eric Jay Tangub, who secured the other finals berth with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over unranked Richard Bautista. Olivarez and Tangub will dispute the title and the top P100,000 prize when they clash at 9 a.m. Saturday in the P415,000 tournament, which features the country's leading campaigners alongside a promising crop of emerging talents. Olivarez reached the championship round after beating David Abordo, 6-4, 6-1, overpowering Marraphael Teng, 6-2, 6-3, and routing veteran Vicente Anasta, 6-1, 6-1. Tangub, meanwhile, opened his campaign with a 6-0, 6-0 demolition of Gurkan Nasilbilirsen, followed by a 6-2, 6-0 triumph over James Aquino and a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Loucas Fernandez. Olivarez is also in contention for a men's doubles championship after teaming up with Nilo Ledama to eliminate Evan Bacalso and McLeen Gomera. They will next face Al-Zayeed Baid and Elvin Geluz, who defeated Anasta and Jerome Bernales, 6-3, 6-3. In the other doubles semifinal, Damian and Brysl Libao advanced with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Austin delos Santos and Dos Gaddi. They will take on Tangub and Bautista, who survived John Benedict Aguilar and Rolly Saga, 6-3, 5-7, 10-8. Beyond the competition, the annual National Open reflects the Olivarez family's sustained commitment to strengthening Philippine tennis through consistent support for tournaments that give players opportunities to compete, improve and measure their skills against quality opposition. Sponsored by Mayor Edwin Olivarez and Rep. Eric Olivarez, the championship provides an important platform for established campaigners to maintain their competitive edge while giving emerging players the exposure and experience needed to advance their careers. Through initiatives such as this, the Olivarez family continues to contribute to the growth of the sport by helping broaden its competitive base and sustain opportunities for the country's next generation of tennis talents.

Wembanyama overcomes illness, injury in historic outing as Spurs top Mavs for sixth straight win

SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama was battling a virus, rolled his ankle in the fourth quarter and does not believe he is playing his best. All of which made the San Antonio Spurs star's historic outing against the Dallas Mavericks even that more astounding. After establishing a league milestone in the first half, Wembanyama finished with career highs of 52 points and 24 rebounds along with eight blocks to lead the Spurs past the Mavericks 112-111 on Wednesday night. Wembanyama had 29 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks in the first half to become the first player since the NBA’s play-by-play era began in 1996-1997 with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in a half. "He’s Superman,” Spurs point guard Dylan Harper said. "I mean, he rolls his ankle and pops right up and acts like nothing happened. I’ve never seen nothing like that, but that’s just a testament to how he takes care of his body, how he focuses on his mobility, treatment, all that. So he’s able to do things like that.” San Antonio was plus-23 when Wembanyama was on the court. The 7-foot-4 center from France was 16 for 28 from the field, including seven dunks, but 1 for 8 on 3-pointers. "I can still do more,” Wembanyama said. "I mean, my shots weren’t falling tonight and that forces me into a style of play that is exhausting. I can do it. I mean the proof is here. I can do it, but I can be much better if my shots fall. I know it’s just a matter of time.” Still, three days after being named the Western Conference Player of the Week, Wembanyama presented a strong case for a repeat. "I hope so,” Wembanyama said. "The goal is to get it every week.” The Spurs have won six straight and swept a three-game homestand. San Antonio has not lost since dropping the season's first two games to Oklahoma City and Houston. Wembanyama has averaged 32.5 points during the streak despite being under the weather with a virus. "I haven’t been feeling great lately,” Wembanyama said. "I’ve been sick for a while and today I felt like I got my legs back. So it should be more like this, more often.” He certainly looked spry to open the game. Wembanyama scored 10 of San Antonio's first 12 points, powering down two dunks and draining all six free-throw attempts. He closed the first quarter with 15 points, nine rebounds, two blocks, two steals and an assist. After capturing his ninth rebound, Wembanyama dribbled behind his back at Dallas’ 3-point line to avoid Walter Clayton Jr., drove between two defenders for a one-handed dunk and then stood in the paint screaming in celebration. "He was making an impact for his team," said Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving, who missed a 15-footer with three seconds remaining. "You can see his aggression has been raising over the past few games.” The onslaught continued in the second quarter. Wembanyama had three blocks in 13 seconds on the same possession, sending shots by Cooper Flagg and P.J. Washington flying out of bounds before his third was captured by De’Aaron Fox with 3:38 remaining in the first half. Wembanyama rolled his ankle after stepping on Clayton's foot, exiting with 9:11 remaining in the game. He spent the next several minutes stretching his foot and ankle on the bench before returning with 6:05 remaining. "I mean the moment that stands out for some reason. I don’t have any agenda I want to say, but it’s when I rolled my ankle,” Wembanyama said. The Spurs certainly needed their All-Star in the final minutes. Wembanyama had two putbacks in the final 2:39. He missed his first three free throws in the final 2:10, but made one with 24 seconds left for the final margin of victory.
