Today, Sat 3rd May 2014 - the Telegraph Sports section has an article by Simon Briggs about their transgender 'fa'afafine' centre-half Jaiyah Saelua and her skills and effort in the team. The film was supposed to be about the nearly farcical American Samoa football (soccer) team.
Quote "How useful this film could be in breaking down the blinkered culture of professional football. Even by the standards of its peers, the sport suffers from alarmingly primitive values. ..... It is hard to imagine a better role model for this stiflingly masculine game"

It is a shame that
99.9% of the men who play Football (with a round ball) professionally act like a bunch of fairies when the get onto the pitch. They should be playing 'man bags at dawn' if you ask me.
Womens Footie and Rugby are much more fun to watch than top flight Football. They really give it a go.
It doesn't help
that when someone bumps them, they fall down and cry like they were hit by a semi(articulated lorry*).
*I think that articulated lorry is what the Brits call a big 18 wheeler.
Indeed
Or just 'artic'.
Looks really good
Thanks for posting this, I just looked at the trailer and it looks really good, has excellent reviews too.
