The hot-tempered, unruly players of this pub league soccer team are in dire straits after having lost everything – their drive, their skills and soon, their playing field. When mysterious Walter Keegan (Brendan Gleeson) shows up offering to be their coach, captain Bubbles (David Wilmot) and the rest of his loopy, obnoxious teammates are so desperate to succeed, they agree to give him the job. Drilled into the ground with a fierce discipline they have never known, the team pushes beyond their aches and pains to gain not only redemption on the field, but more importantly, their self-respect. (official distributor synopsis)
