These things about ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
* [[Audience-Alienating Premise]]: Many critics including John Oliver were bemused about the idea of making a sports movie where the heroes were '''the executives''' instead of the football players themselves. The fact that it was bankrolled by FIFA didn't help matters as it further cemented its status as a propaganda film for a woefully corrupt sporting body. It failed to make back even 10% of its budget, earning just ''$918'' at the US box office in its first week, and less than $170,000 in its entire run.
* [[Bile Fascination]]: Many of those who watched the film were more after the overwhelmingly negative reception it got than any of its merits (if there's anything at all).
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Particularly that of [[Thomas Kretschmann]] who previously gained notoriety amongst internet circles for his character's memetic portrayal in the [[Hitler Rants]] parodies. Some have opined that Kretschmann (as Fegelein) produced the film as an elaborate antic at FIFA's expense.
