[2] Pong is one of the greatest football players Thailand has produced and he's a star in England's FA Premier League.

His Aunt Ming, a football fan and inveterate gambler, has just won the lottery and had intended on donating her winnings to the Thai team.

However, when her nephew is passed over, she decides to give her money to a regional rival, the struggling team in neighboring Arvee.

His methods include having the team train inside a freezer container in order to acclimate themselves to playing in colder climates.

The controversy also came shortly after another Thai film, Ghost Game, sparked outrage among Cambodian officials, because the teen horror movie made light of the atrocities that occurred under the Khmer Rouge and Tuol Sleng Prison.

But through re-editing and reshooting some scenes to remove any traces of Lao flags and national emblems and creating a fictional country called Arvee, the company was able to release the film.
