"For a futbol movie, there was hardly any futbol. The film focused mostly on 4 people's stories.
Spoilers:
The coach uses movie quotes for his speeches.
I understand why the coach was the way he was, but he was still a jerk.
Wowie, when he called that girl by her dead name, yikes. I was cheering her on.

"A movie with a good message, but nothing more."

"Fun, insightful, empowering! One can find themselves quickly tied to the story as it bounces between soccer practices and American Samoan landscapes. You might not root for all the characters and the way they handle situations, but you will be hoping that everything turns out all right for the team. "

"This one was a nice one, I love a little of the Polynesian humor and the positivity. Taika’s character was… interesting but not my favorite with the weird voice. Also you can tell who Taika likes to work with, and I enjoy them too. Rhys Darby and Rachel House are good with the humor/comedy he likes to use. "
"An uplifting sports story in which real cultural exchange happens, changing people’s lives. Bonus points for the inclusion of an authentic transgender character. "
