Revealing mistake: The mockumentary is centred around a bitterly cold December day, but various people in shots are wearing shorts and T-shirts, showing it was actually filmed in summer.

Factual error: There is no way that the England football team would be playing a friendly match in December. The run-up to the Christmas period is an incredibly packed schedule for the domestic clubs, so the national team would never play a friendly then. Additionally, regardless of the month, England would never play a friendly against a team they had recently played in a competitive game (the mockumentary takes place in December 2003, and England had played Turkey in a Euro 2004 qualifier in October 2003).
