There are so many inaccuracies in this movie that are ruining the movie. Simple things like the boy shooting the ball to one corner and then in the next movieshot you see the ball going into another corner. Unnecessary and ridiculous tricks that no professional would ever do in a match and only are done by the annoying self focussed kid that doesn't pass the ball and ruins the match for others. Then you have the many inaccuracies around the rules around soccer, if you make a movie about soccer then it might help knowing the rules. Okay lets say you can tolerate the soccer stuff. Then you can within the first few minutes telling what is going to happen through the whole movie. And not like 50%, no you can predict 95% of the movie. And stupid things that are just not possible in real life. How does it happen that the army suddenly find the father after years in perfect health and get him home the same day? How is hitting someone knock-out in the middle of a stadium tolerated? Okay sure sometimes you just want to watch a movie like a brain dead zombie and you don't care about above mentioned stuff. Then i hope at least that you care about acting, because it is just bad in most scenes. So why did i watch it? Because my little brother insisted to watch it while i was waiting in the same room for something else. I am writing this review in the hope that everyone can be saved from this movie, that it gets removed from Netflix to begin with. Also, even I, as an European that is not perfect with the English language, knows the difference between your and you're. Making that mistake in a movie is just bad.

The acting snd writing is so bad lol. Also I dont think the white house is who chooses the usa soccer team roster lol. The fans also look the same in all the games but change who they cheer for lmao.

Honestly one of the worst films I have ever seen. I expected a standard, feel-good family film about a ragtag bunch of kids overcoming adversity, but this honestly makes 'Alex and Me' look like Citizen Kane. It's hard to know where to begin! The script is dire, the acting is wooden, the effects are laughably bad, and sometimes just completely tangential and unnecessary (How about those high-tech flying military "dragonflies"? Why????). Most importantly, the soccer scenes are overly long, slow and just horribly inaccurate. I tried watching this with my daughter, who was recovering from surgery. It's lucky she didn't bust a stitch from laughing and groaning so hard. Almost bad enough to be funny, but life is too short. In 90 minutes, you could watch an actual soccer game with more drama and better acting.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. All the sets are so fake and this is extremely annoying. Please do not waste your time for something like that!!!!!

This movie was a lost cause since the very beginning. The only decent part was at the very start when Ronaldo showed up, unedited and naturally shown, compared to the rest of the movie that felt totally forced and fabricated. The kid thought his shoes were yeezys because he valued them more than himself, making him a virgin hypebeast. Also the old man was a tryhard all along and they pulled the og movie cliche that he was a pointless character only to have his background be revealed at the very end. The stadium looked worse than Cyberpunk 2077 at launch, with the crowd looking like GIFS on green screen. I wasted precious time that i could've used to practice actual football and still be better than all of those noobs. Go back to LIDL director, get good.

Where should I start. It's a total car crash of a movie with not a single positive thing to boost for it. Youth football is depicted as a sport for adults, and the kids are being treated like garbage. A complete waste of time. Do not watch it. Watch paint dry. It's more fun.

Worst acting ever... Worst cgi ever, for example when Christian is practicing in the backyard... The story is terrible, and irrealistic. Not the part of the magical shoes because that wold be expected to be irrealistic... I am talking about the part of a kid doing ONE good game, and I already have the media all over him... It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Acting to storyline l. Consistenly trash. Worst movie I have ever seen.

Not sure when they made this film that they watched it back to see if it made any sense. Watched it with my young footy mad son & was not expecting anything great but it was embarrassing for both of us to watch. The kid already had new boots & was wearing them when he was taken to the shop so why he was taken to get new ones by the guy who did not like him is just bizarre & the full green screen stadium is laughable. The military parts are so low rent & not needed. Even small children will laugh at how bad this film is & special mention for Eric Roberts terrible make up & bright pink lipstick.
