Will Ferrell stated this is his favorite of his films, for sentimental reasons- throughout the span of the shoot, his wife became pregnant with, and gave birth to, their first son. He said he filmed specifically imagining watching the movie with his child one day. See more »

Goofs

When Phil calls the team to the picnic benches after describing how they are slothful to Ditka, it is clear that the Goalie (Ryan) is one of the first to run over and sit down on a bench. In the next shot of the team, the Goalie is still walking to the bench. See more »

Hilarious sports film...
21 March 2007 | by (Brandon,Florida) – See all my reviews

Watching this film made me remember when Mike Ditka was on the sidelines shouting and swearing off his own players when they didn't meet his demands. Will Farrel's performance was wacky and funny considering the fact he was competing against his dad (Robert Duvall in a nice spot). Anyone who likes soccer will find this film entertaining for a change along with Bend it Like Beckham. The kids on all the teams did their best on and off the field. If there would of been better props, we could say this movie could equal Little Giants(1994), another good comic sports film.Between a one two ten, I give a seven and a half thanks to the director's effort to bring in Mike Ditka to help out.
