History WesternAnimation / Metegol

* OurFounder: The new town has a statue that honors the full team, with Amadeo taking point. The old town had a statue to honor its founder before El Grosso destroyed it.

* BittersweetEnding: Amadeo's team loses the game, but not only does the crowd still cheer for our underdogs: even Laura [[LampShading lamp shades]] "It doesn't ''matter''". Yes, this means they will lose the town, but it's later revealed in the ending they built a new town. Also, the foosball players are on good terms with each other.

* DisproportionateRetribution: El Grosso loses a foosball game and holds it as a motive to not only destroy the foosball table and the bar where the game took place but also his home town.

* DubNameChange: Everyone gets their name changed in the US dub, came from the UK dub, which also changes certain names. The most notable ones are: Amadeo to Jake, Ezekial Remancho El Grosso to Ace (Flash in the UK), Laura to Lara, Capi to Captain Skip, Loco to Ziggy, Beto to Rico (UK as well), and Capitán Liso to Rip (Gregor in the UK).

* AbductionIsLove: El Grosso certainly thinks so. Laura does not.

* UnderdogsNeverLose: Subverted. After letting in two goals, the townspeople (with a little aid from the foosball players) manage to tie the game and nearly win, but El Grosso manages to score the victory goal in the last second. However, the spectators applaud the townspeople for their spirit and unwillingness to give up, and "Los Absolutos" exchange T-shirts with them, considering them [[WorthyOpponent Worthy Opponents]].

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Is the manager just an ordinary man, or could he perhaps be [[DealWithTheDevil the Devil]]? It may explain why he sadistically [[KickTheDog twists the knife]] with El Grosso about why the crowd isn't cheering for him.

* SoreLoser: El Grosso never got over the fact he lost a foosball game back when he was a kid.

* DisproportionateRetribution: El Grosso loses a foosball game and holds it as a motive to not only destroy the foosball table and the bar where the game took place but also the whole town.

With his entire life destroyed in one night, Amadeo discovers that his tears have awakened the foosball players, and after Amadeo manages to rescue them, he challenges Grosso to a rematch, but Grosso changes it to a football game, and Laura raises the bet: if Amadeo's team wins, Grosso will give the town back to its people.
