In Francis Goes to South America the racing fraternity has invited Francis and his friends to visit South America: however the friends must not misbehave. Shortly after arriving in South America, they become separated from Sasha, Mike and Ray, and again questions are raised about the odd assortment of friends, causing mayhem and ending up in unpredictable places, such as: a huge field of cheering spectators, where Francis unknowingly arrives at a very important soccer match with famous players like, David Peckham, Larry Kewell, Kim Cahill, and Lucas O' Beal.
