Guest Frank_Nabbit Report post Posted February 2, 2005 The original draft of the script was a serious drama, based on the true story of a group of allied POWs challenged to a football match by the Germans. The deal was that if the Germans won the match, the POWs would be set free in Switzerland. However if the POWs won, they would be shot. The POWs decided to go for 'victory', won the match and were consequently executed. Anyone have any websites that detail this supposedly real story? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2005 Is this American football or the "soccer" football?... It was soccer. Really, if it was American it would have been called a Football game. It's called a Football match. It reminds me of the Vietnam movie that has a bunch of soldiers being told to lose a soccer game or they'll be placed on the front line to die. If they lose, they will get a nice vacation. They go for the win, they win and then the place is bombed to hell killing most of the cast. Dammit, what was the name of that movie..... I THINK it was "The Boys of Company C" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cosbywasmurdered Report post Posted February 3, 2005 reminds me of "sleepers" or whatever it was called where the kids in the Juvi beat the guards and the guard beat the black kid to death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
