I asked Tubi for a soccer movie and this is what I got.

Steve Guttenberg plays Henry Butler, an American soccer player whose love of gambling gets him arrested.  He’s given a year’s probation and ordered to work as a handyman at a “boys’ home” that is managed by Karen (Sophie Lorain).  Karen wants the boys to start playing soccer so that they can feel good about themselves and Henry just happens to know something about that.  The team might not be any good but Henry teaches them to believe in themselves and Henry finally stop loathing himself.  Then the boys’ home burns down but luckily, Henry and the cook (Michel Perron) make enough money at the horse races to build a new one.  Sometimes, gambling is good!

This sucked.  All of the boys were obnoxious and Steve Guttenberg spent the whole movie talking extremely fast and jumping up and down.  A typical recurring joke was that the flatulent goalie’s shorts kept falling down.  One of the boys was played by Christian Slater’s younger brother but he didn’t sound like Jack Nicholson so who cares?  There’s a whole other subplot about Karen blackmailing the local funeral home into sponsoring the kids so that they can goet uniforms.  Karen and Henry fell in love but I didn’t.  Even the soccer games were boring.

This movie had a kick, straight to the head.  It didn’t have the fighting spirit of the best baseball movies.
