Where to start? I did not give a rat's ass about any of the characters; they we so poorly-developed that I knew so little about them I could not.
I admit that I don't know a whole lot about soccer, but for a group of guys that supposedly had (potentially) a star candidate (Danny) on the pitch, it was pretty poor-quality play.
The idea that the other team would not know that the gay team was, indeed, gay is laughable at best, and a complete insult to the viewer's intelligence at worst.
Near the end, when there was a shoot-out, the drug addict (Jensen) is finally chosen to kick the ball; he misses (that was the only surprise in this movie ... aside from it being a total piece of crap ... I expected him to be somewhat heroic in that kick). Anyway, the girl on the sidelines (Alexandria, a supporter of the "straight" team) rips up the papers in her hand in (seeming) disgust ... the only thing is, from the expression on her face, one would think that she is actually smiling or laughing about it. It's called acting, Ms. Frost ... try it some time.
The real kicker (no pun intended) came when the ref called time after the shoot-out ended with things still tied. I could understand the opposing teams being ticked off about that, but why in the name of all that is good and holy would either of the teams that have been waiting to takeover the field also be protesting to the ref? That made absolutely no sense whatsoever! (But what can one expect from such an utter waste of celluloid.)
I've heard it said that it is hard to get a script produced ... I'd have to say that it is not hard enough!
