It will bomb in the US and it will create some haters in Britain, but it is a funny, safe and uplifting film for all those fascinated by the World Cup. I love Tomlinson, he's so funny, and although he is just playing Jim Royle with football in this film, he is still likable, watchable and hysterical. Tonka is Gazza and the assistant coach was Peter Beardsley. Some great in jokes, and a funny cameo from Pele. See it if your a footy fan/Ricky fan.
