Jay and Chris watch a movie about a ragtag group of kids who come together and inspire a town with the help of their coach and the excitement of sport.

Though Chris and Jay both remembered this movie fondly, rewatching proved those memories were lies. Is this movie as bad as we think it is? Do people in Texas not what Soccer is?
