Curiosidades
The Irish players in the Rio airport are all (except one) actually native Brazilians. The Scottish team is made up of few Scots on holiday (who the film makers some how managed to find) and rest are local extras and filming crew.

Pifias
After England lose to Brazil in the semi-finals, they return home. However, they would have played another game as a 3rd place play-off.

Citas
Interviewer: Half time, and England trail Mexico by 2-0.
Mike: HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT THE CROWD ARE FUCKING SHOUTING? "FUCK BASSETT!" "BASSETT'S A CUNT!" "BASSETT'S A BASTARD!" "BASSETT'S A WANKER!" THEY SHOULDN'T BE FUCKING SHOUTING AT ME, THEY SHOULD BE SHOUTING AT YOU, AND DO YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING HALF-TIME, AND WE'RE FUCKING 2-0 DOWN TO THE FUCKING MEXICANS! WHAT THE FUCK'S WRONG WITH YOU? GET YOUR FUCKING FINGERS OUT! WHERE'S YOUR BOTTLE FUCKING GONE?
[hurls piece of equipment at the goalkeeper]
Mike: AND FUCKING PAY ATTENTION YOU CUNT, WHEN I'M FUCKING TALKING TO YOU! IF YOU DON'T WANNA WEAR THE SHIRT, FUCKING TAKE IT OFF! THERE'S THOUSANDS OF KIDS OUT THERE WHO'D DIE TO PUT THAT FUCKING SHIRT ON! GET BACK ON THE FUCKING FIELD, SHOW THOSE BASTARDS WHAT YOU CAN FUCKING DO, OR YOU CAN FUCK OFF HOME ON THE FUCKING PLANE! YOU GOT THAT?
Interviewer: England lose 4-0.

It's football Jim, but not as we know it

Unlike most football related films this one actually references real football rather than a dreamy game that the good guys always win in the end.

As with any sport related movie though it has limited appeal outside of someone that has an interest and understanding of the "Beautiful Game". In this case more so as really you need to be English and have suffered English international football to understand everything the film has to offer.

The jokes don't always 'hit the back of the net' but there is no need to 'send this one off' - (sorry for the puns).

On the whole an enjoyable diversion that sometimes does cut close to the bone (especially as the F.A. are falling apart us as I write this).
