This is the title of this first film. However, nothing is fine with this movie. The script is ridiculous, the lead actor is horrible and his brother in the supporting cast has even less talent if that is even possible. Also it's disgusting how the film's director and writer Joachim Masannek cast so many of his own kids for this one. He also worked with Heiner Lauterbach's daughter later in his career and this film here also has the son of one of Germany's most famous boxers. And the worst thing is that they made four more films in the years after this. But why not, if the German Film Academy nominated this piece of crap for Best Children's movie of the Year. At least it did not win. The Ochsenknecht brothers would never have a career without their famous dad. There are many great kids movies these days, but this one here from over 10 years ago has to be one of the worst. "Unbesiegbare Sieger" is already a very cringeworthy name for the enemy team and their face painting just took embarrassing to new heights in the end.
Possibly the weakest aspect is the music. The songs from the Bananafishbones are disastrous and yet they made new songs for all of the next four movies too. Rufus Beck and Cornelia Froboess are probably the most famous actors from the cast, besides Father Ochsenknecht. They did well in not returning for any of the next films. This is not a funny movie. this is not a good drama movie. Not even a mediocre one and it gets worse the longer it goes. It's a story about tolerance towards girls, towards weaker football players, about teamwork, but none of it is convincingly written. The first 30-45 minutes were probably still a 4/10. All these superlative references, best trainer, wildest team, greatest players, world class solo, wildest girl on the planet... are fairly ridiculous. It seems as if this movie aspires to be so much and yet came up with so little due to lack of talent in the entire cast/crew. The kids actors mostly suck and it is not surprising that almost none of them still have a career. Sadly, most of the adults aren't much better. And the ending is exactly what you could expect. No surprise, no wit. A disgrace of a film. The only wild thing about it is how wildly chaotic and unrealistic it is. Stay away.
