“A decent idea for a teen movie and alright acting but the story is simplistic, almost naive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot points are weak and are almost all ineffective, nothing is followed through.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe leading girl barely even plays football/soccer in the movie, sure it is realistic but it makes her change being less important.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe sports scenes are embarrassing, not a single player can shoot the ball and there are no fakes and dribbles in the game what so ever. Goals are only scored because the goalkeepers are sieves.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBad knowledge of the game, little to no chemistry between actors. There is no suspense in the movie what so ever.”
