This movie is sooo ridiculous! It's interesting to note that only the gamethe U.S. was able to win at that 1950 World Cup is the main focus of thefilm. The accomplishment of the United States is much less fantastic ifit's taken into account that the U.S. lost the rest of their matches aftergetting lucky enough to defeat England in that one game. After defeating England, the U.S. still was eliminated in the first round of that World Cup. And Joe Gaetjens, the man who scored the only goal for the U.S. in that game, wasn't even an American citizen!
