A truly strange soundtrack with some very out of place choices for a kids movie.
The biggest kick of the year fueled by fun facts.
Most of the child actors and actresses did not know how to play soccer. In fact, Anthony Esquivel was the only one who knew how to play at the time of filming.
Not only is this the directorial debut of Holly Goldberg Sloan, this is also the first live action Disney movie to be directed by a woman.
By including the shoot-out, Lou (Ashley Welch), Evan (Chauncey Leopardi), Jeffrey (Billy L. Sullivan), and Larry (Patrick Renna) are the only four team members that do not score a goal on-screen.
There is an actor named John Terry in this movie. The name "John Terry" is a famous soccer player's name.
Steve Guttenberg gained over twelve pounds in preparation for his role as Sheriff Tom Palmer.
