and as my father will never tire of pointing out it also "stars" half of the Ipswich Town team of that year.

Who would have thought the Nazis would ever do anything as remotely despicable as deliberately injuring Pele??

Ah, I didn't know that - explains some of the acting - though Stallone can't use that excuse!

Wasn't it based on Dynamo Kyiv(?) when Ukraine was occupied by Germany? And after winning the players were all shot?

Got to love the nazis in the film. My PSE team with a name inappropriate for such forums is an act of homage to the German team from the movie - though somehow Baros has managed to sneak into the attacking line.
