Trivia

During the making of the movie, Wes Bentley was severely addicted to cocaine and heroin, and only took on roles to earn money to buy drugs. Bookmakers in London offered odds of 500-1 against the Americans winning the event depicted in the film, and the New York Times was initially skeptical of the upset result. The film's budget was drastically reduced by studio executives, resulting in a shorter running time and the exclusion of some planned scenes and characters. The wedding reception scene featured real St. Louis players and their families as guests. The movie incorrectly claimed that English player Stanley Mortensen scored a hat-trick in an FA Cup Final three years prior, when it actually happened in 1953. The film was shot in just forty-nine days. Composer Jerry Goldsmith was originally set to write the score before he passed away. Director David Anspaugh initially rejected the movie due to its low budget, but was persuaded to change his mind by Screenwriter Angelo Pizzo. The film was shot in St. Louis' Italian neighborhood known as "The Hill", with many local businesses participating to give it an authentic 1950s feel. Gavin Rossdale made his theatrical acting debut in this movie. The film initially opened in only sixty-four theaters in the U.S. and was only showing in three theaters five weeks later. Despite being filmed in Super 35, the end credits state that the movie was "Filmed in Panavision".
