Initially, the country depicted in the film was Laos, but because of concerns by diplomatic officials that the depiction of Lao players would be seen as offensive to Lao people, the film's release in May 2006 was cancelled.
Awalnya, negara yang dideskripsikan dalam film tersebut adalah Laos, namun dikarenakan urusan diplomatik dengan menggambarkan para pemain Laos dapat menyakitkan hati bangsa Laos, peluncuran film tersebut pada Mei 2006 dibatalkan.
