Your Opinions and Comments
If you`re a football fan you will see so much reflection of life it`s amazing - from the players, most of who you can point out a real life counterpart, the emphisis on tactics, the drama on the pitch, the half time team talks .....
Some of the humour is subtle, but it just feels so true to life.
One problem with the disk, it`s not anamorphic. Companies should be shot for producing non anamorphic widescreen disks.
