* BittersweetEnding: Amadeo's team loses the game, but not only does the crowd still cheer for our underdogs: even Laura emphatically [[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, meaning El Grosso's revenge ultimately [[PyrrhicVictory doesn't stick]]. Amadeo and Laura even married, started a new life and had a son there. Also, Amadeo's foosball players are on good terms with each other.
* BlandNameProduct: While the Deportivo Absoluto players are introduced before the game, the sponsors of the team are shown, clearly being parodies of famous companies (some obvious examples are Werner Sisters and Noentendo)
* BoobBasedGag: Hormone Dominguez has a massive pair that practically hit her in the face at one point during the football match. And thank God the opposing team was quick to cover her up after she [[FanDisservice took her shirt off]].
* ChekhovsGunman: Some of the characters that Amadeo summons for the final match previously had appeared as mere extras in some scenes

%%* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The Manager at El Grosso after the game.

In 2015, Creator/DiscoveryKids Latin America announced that the movie will be getting a [[RecycledTheSeries TV series]] that will air on their channel. The series would retain the movie's 3D animation, but would be aimed at a younger audience, would feature characters not seen in the original movie (including two major characters consisting of a ''female'' foosball player and a youthful goalie who is also a girl), and would have the main foosball table not only be set in a modern-day arcade, but also serve as a portal to the main team's sports-obsessed homeworld known as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Sportsville]]. It'll also be lighter in tone and would introduce a new BigBad whom the Underdogs must stop from completing his goal of getting rid of sports once and for all. Production of the series lasted for ''six years'', resulting from the project being reworked from the ground up in 2020 after years of inactivity, retaining the initial premise but this time as a 2D-animated EdutainmentShow under the tentative title of ''Underdogs: The Animated Series''. The series premiered as ''Underdogs United'' in 2022, following the 2021 rebrand of the channel.

* TheBigDamnKiss: Amadeo and Laura after the football game ends.

* CurbStompBattle: the game's first half is this, with "Los Absolutos" scoring twice in the first few minutes. The rest of the first half, and part of the second, they take to humilliate their opponents by "dancing" around the field.

Amadeo and Laura even married, started a new life and had a son there. Also, Amadeo's foosball players are on good terms with each other.
