Directed by: John Huston
Starring: Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone, Bobby Moore, Pele
Factual error: In the final football game scenes ( from about three-quarters of the way through the film or so) all the spectators are wearing 1970's clothes and have 1970's hairstyles.
Factual error: German SS officers ceased wearing black uniforms after 1942.
Plot hole: In the scene where Colby is discussing tactics with the team, Pele interrupts and takes the chalk from Colby and says "Hatch gives me the ball here, I do this, this, this, this, goal" while drawing a line on the blackboard to indicate dribbling from one end of the pitch to the other. At that point in the film, Hatch was only the trainer, not the goalkeeper.
Hatch: This frigging game is ruining my life.
Trivia: Sylvester Stallone broke one of his fingers in an attempt to save a penalty from Pele.
