    Disgraceful

    This movie is a total disgrace the research must have been zero as it is full of terrible mistakes and is clearly filmed in the USA by someone who does not even know what Scotland looks like

    As a scot it made me extremely angry as to how we were portrayed in this bargain bin rubbish

    The accents are terrible, They didn't even bother to put UK number plates on the cars in the film whilst I accept the film is a light hearted kids movie, they should realise we are not all kilt wearing long haired Mel Gibson look a likes Time for the director and producers of this junk to spend a little time on research

    I'd like to apologize on behalf of America

    ... for this utter rubbish, as someone else aptly put it. So sorry. The only reason I gave it a two is because the dog is fairly cute and shouldn't be judged harshly for appearing in this abomination. As a soccer playing American with Scottish friends I know both a) soccer, and b) Scots, and it's obvious the makers of this "film for (very slow) children" had no clue about either, nor about casting, nor about writing, nor about film production. It's a real dog. Makes the Air Bud movies look like Orson Welles - those films were fairly bad too but at least they had a structure, and didn't rely as much on stereotypes.

    Spare your kids this one.

    Poor basically

    I have never seen a more stereotypical movie towards Scottish people in my life.

    Firstly the "attempted" accents put on by the cast members is atrocious. Why make a movie set in Scotland and not have a single Scottish actor? Why is everyone wearing kilts? No one in Scotland wears kilts! unless at weddings etc NOT TO FOOTBALL GAMES!! And also there isn't a guy going around selling haggis... we do eat normal food BTW!! And even at that the HAGGIS! What the woman was eating looked nothing like haggis.. more like some kind of mashed potato goop. I think the director should try to know a little about something before involving it in the movie, instead of just assuming what a typical Scottish person looks or sounds like or the food they eat.

    Finally I am confused to the name of the movie.. Why is it European Cup? Europe is a big place... would it not make more sense to call it Scottish? And cup? I didn't see any cup. I saw a poorly constructed game of football with a referee very biased towards the "good guys" ( i mean did you not see the guy head butt the other one? a sure red card and 5 match ban no? or do you Americans play the game differently?).

    I'm not even going to start on the dog.

    You should be ashamed of yourselves

    All involved should be ashamed. This film is poorly made, badly executed and can only perpetuate the belief that Americans are ignorant of anywhere outside the US.

    Tip to Hollywood: when basing a film outside the US, use local actors and try and actually visit and film in the place; that way there is a possibility that you will never recreate a film as poor and woefully inaccurate as this.

    A dreadful experience.

    Oh dear.

    Terrible.

    very boring

    i watched this movie a few hours ago and i thought it was awful. whats up with the stupid cgi soccer ball, the plot was stupid and it was so predictable so if your planing on seeing this movie Don't! IT WAS BAD i feel bad for the actors because involved because they din't do anything wrong to deserve this.id rather kiss a toilet seat then watch this peace of crap what the heck were they thinking my god just to let you know i dint see this whole movie i watch 30 minutes and i din't see the ending but predicted that it would end like all the other cheasy sports movies end the worst team plays the best team and the bad teams wins but in this movie it happens to be because the dog is a super hero! the end
