I have never seen a more stereotypical movie towards Scottish people in my life.
Firstly the "attempted" accents put on by the cast members is atrocious. Why make a movie set in Scotland and not have a single Scottish actor? Why is everyone wearing kilts? No one in Scotland wears kilts! unless at weddings etc NOT TO FOOTBALL GAMES!! And also there isn't a guy going around selling haggis... we do eat normal food BTW!! And even at that the HAGGIS! What the woman was eating looked nothing like haggis.. more like some kind of mashed potato goop. I think the director should try to know a little about something before involving it in the movie, instead of just assuming what a typical Scottish person looks or sounds like or the food they eat.
Finally I am confused to the name of the movie.. Why is it European Cup? Europe is a big place... would it not make more sense to call it Scottish? And cup? I didn't see any cup. I saw a poorly constructed game of football with a referee very biased towards the "good guys" ( i mean did you not see the guy head butt the other one? a sure red card and 5 match ban no? or do you Americans play the game differently?).
I'm not even going to start on the dog.
