Blend of comedy, sports and kung-fu action in which a team combining soccer skills and kung-fu on the pitch vie for a big tournament prize.

To be honest I never really like 'DUBBED' films, I prefer films which just have subtitles instead of a voice that matches absolutely nothing on the screen , and it didn't even look that good , like a mix of Hong Kong Fuiy and Fifa. But, trying to put my prejudices aside, I watched this film only for it to be exactly what I expected in the first place. This film does not take itself serious and is full of terrible gags, bad jokes and shocking love scenes where the actors look like robots. There a good special effects only for them to put them everywhere until it makes your eyes bleed. It was just so boring and it felt like the story had been so stretched out that allot of the scenes were just full of random fighting and Kung Fu skills to make the film last long enough to think it would get better towards the end. Which it doesn't and does so in a spectacularly bad fashion of a super soccer dudes and Kung Fu warrior battle. To conclude , a terrible film , bad dub , robot actors and a plot so thin it could break if you blew on it.
