‘The Falcons’ (2018): Icelandic values in a soccer tale

‘Eleven Men Out’ (2005) is not like Iceland at all

Eleven Men Out is not really a soccer movie. It has 30 seconds of soccer and a lot of sexuality, mostly gay (rated R). As a character says, there is not much else to do in Iceland.

A top player comes out of the closet, switches to a team that has some gays, the straights quit, and the team becomes all gay. They win the league because the other teams forfeit.
