This has nothing to do with soccer. *lol


As far as I understand, this whole show is built around soccer. So, I'd excpect they would know what they are doing, but they clearly don't.

The way they portrait the soccer world is absolutely silly. I know that soccer is not a typical American sport, but please, you should at least know a few basics before doing such a show.

I sure hope they step up their game. ;-)

the soccer part is very small as far as actual playing goes. It's a undercover cop show first and foremost.

Who cares about the soccer. Just another useless sport. Fun show with drop dead gorgeous women.

I agree with OP. If they had shown it anywhere else but the US it would've been written off as a joke.
They way they portraited that Ukrainian/Russian player that Bravo injures cracked me up. They kept saying how he was so dangerous and broke everyone's bones and bla bla bla, like he was a wrestler, not a football player. Also, why the hell did the CIA had him train in a warehouse with a chick? :))
