Goal! (2005)

Plot hole: At the beginning, it shows Santiago crossing the border into the U.S. But the U.S. border patrol is on the Mexican side.

Continuity mistake: When Newcastle plays Chelsea the ball is yellow, but when we see shots from the real game it is white when we see the actors with the ball.

Revealing mistake: In the game against Liverpool, there is a reversed shot after Harris scores the first goal. It is fairly obvious since all of the players' numbers are backwards, in addition to the advertisements in the background. (01:45:25)

Trivia: The free-kick goal scored by Santiago (actor) against Liverpool in the movie was actually scored by the real Newcastle United player Laurent Robert in the real game against Liverpool which won them the game 1-0.

Trivia: At the bar in Los Angeles when Santiago's dad is watching the game, beside him is Brian Johnson, lead vocal of AC/DC.
