Trivia
The final scene where Santiago scores to win the game against Liverpool F.C. is the actual goal scored by Laurent Robert in real life. It is noticeable that Santiago, a right footed player throughout the movie, shoots with his left foot in this scene.
Stellan Skarsgård was cast in the film, but when Michael Winterbottom left the project, so did Skarsgård. He stated that: "The only reason I wanted to do the movie was to work with Winterbottom."
Michael Winterbottom was the original director of the film. Production had actually begun when he left the project because the Producers demanded the script to be finished prior to commencing Principal Photography.
When Glen Foy calls Santiago for dinner, we can clearly see that his bed is sideways to the door. The next shot, which is of him getting out of bed, shows the bed at a completely different angle.
When Santiago goes for a run across the Tyne Bridge, he runs off in the direction of Gateshead, on the south bank of the river. However, it is portrayed that he runs off the bridge and onto the beach, which is Tynemouth Longsands, being on the north side of the river about 10 miles away.
To play in the English Premiership, if you are from outside the EU, you have to have a work permit. You automatically qualify for one if you have played in 75% of your national teams matches in the past year. Otherwise, you have to go to a tribunal where it has to be shown that you are an outstanding talent that is worthy of a permit. Since he had to basically beg for a trial, it would be highly unlikely that he would win a decision in a tribunal.

Glen Foy: Welcome to the toon.
During the scene when Roz says, "Yeah ya do. It's green an' it's got a goal post at each end" when she smiles, her mouth looks like it is full of blood! The scene is quick but unedited. Any answeres?
A
I have no answer to this. I've looked at the scene at least 10 times and there it is, it looks like she either just ate a mouthful of red food coloring or she has horrible gingivitis.
