    Ally McCoist....for a footballer he's a great actor,always "acted" well on the football field. A better actor than Duvall is as a Football manager!!! (wonder if that has anything to do with "the helping hand" he got from Nicole Kidman??)

    Good football (soccer) movie. The football action scenes were very well choreographed. Robert Duvall did not disappoint.

    In reply to the review above: Michael Keaton played an American. He is an American. How could his accent be bad in the movie. I don't understand. Please explain.
