Dealing with the antics of a soccer team consisting of a misfit group of small town kids who are coached by a teacher from England. The movie tried to capitalize the success of The Mighty Ducks franchise^{[citation needed]} and Angels in the Outfield^{[citation needed]} with little critical or box office success. Critics blasted the movie for being formulaic and not as entertaining as The Mighty Ducks movies.^{[citation needed]}However, it is worthy to note the stellar performance by Tak (Jimmy Higa) and Evan (Chauncey Leopardi). Their on-screen chemistry was unprecedented for their era. The incorporation of mutli-ethnic characters throughout the film was especially unique and progressive for Disney to execute successfully.
