Great Film overall

A Masterpiece!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I loathe football (Soccer to you Yanks)as I find it overrated, boring and assumes an importance in peoples' lives far beyond its actual value. That said I just love this series which is built around "the beautiful game" as played by a minor junior team. All the actors do a wonderful job of fleshing out their characters. I think the main guy(sorry I know no names) is terrific and the Asian gynaecologist (don't ask) is wonderful too. It works in much the same way as The Office did with realistic situations and performances. Sharp writing and clever direction more than support their efforts. I will be glued to this series until its end. Brilliant and very very funny.
