Corrected entry: If the players quit in the middle of the season, why is the head cheerleader recruiting a new squad? If the season had already begun, the squad would have already been chosen. And if the players went on strike, why would the cheerleaders also go on strike? It doesn't make any sense.

Corrected entry: Nigel "The Leg" Gruff is from Cardiff in South Wales, but has a strong North Wales accent. The North and South Wales accents are nothing alike.

Corrected entry: The sub-plot involving Nigel and the loanshark is completely bogus. In the final game against Dallas they want him to miss the field goal. However, Dallas would be the HEAVY favorites seeing as how the entire professional team has crossed the picket line for the game. There is NO REASON for him to miss the field goal, because Dallas would be who everyone is betting on. For the loansharks to make a big score they need Washington to win that game so they sure wouldn't want him to miss that field goal.
Correction: Throughout the movie the replacement players are shown to gain popularity with their team's fans. The loan shark who threatens Nigel is probably dealing almost exclusively with these fans (who are certain to place their bets against Dallas) for this particular game.
Does that mean Nigel is still gonna lose the bar?

Correction: The cheerleaders refused to perform in support of the players on strike. The head cheerleader didn't quit because she didn't agree with the striking players' demands.
