- How fast was Steiner murdered after the game, or was he transferred to the Russian front?
- Stallone reportedly wanted to score the winner; the penalty save as filmed is judged best, with a header the most realistic alternative and a length-of-field punt implausible.
- Did Hatch keep playing goalie? He goes back to America with his French bride and annoys everyone about soccer.
- The Eastern European players who can't play but must be saved from the labor camp: one liked it; they could have been fed enough for one to play a few minutes.
- Would banging the bottom of the hot tub to drain it flood the tunnel?
- Best fictional sports event to attend: the Roy Hobbs homer is the usual answer, with Wildcats football mentioned and the Miracle on Ice excluded as real.
- With Gus, Roy Hobbs is defended against Rocky beating Drago in Russia, and this match is praised for the soccer, bicycle kick, escape and anthem singing.
