[challenge entry] Ho hum. Another weekend of sport.
Well... you don't kneed to know anything about football, just how films cover ANY sport - all games were won by just one goal (you just KNOW it was a slow-motion one scored by the hero in the last second of the game) and following a big come-back. That's all. :)

# In Hollywood
every team comes back from a first half mauling to win just as the ref blows the whistle.
This is deeply woo for subtlety.
Hoopla!

# It can and does happen
Any Manchester City fan (or Spurs fan) can tell you it has happened at least once, and with the eventual winners down to 10 men as well.

2003/04 season, FA Cup, Manchester City away at Spurs. After 45 minutes, City are 3-0 down to Spurs and Joey Barton (city) gets abusive with the ref and is red-carded. They come out after half time, 10 men, 1,500 away fans singing "We're going to win the cup, and now you're gonna believe us..." as a pisstake. Spurs are thinking they'll take us 6-0 easy.

45 minutes later, with the last two goals coming in the last 5 minutes, the result goes 4-3 City. Best football match ever seen (according to Alan Hansen) and it just reminded me why I'm a city fan - we never give up, even when it's obvious we're losers, and sometimes that makes us winners. :-)

That night is known in City folklore as "The Phoenix Night".

So, yes, good joke, but it can and does happen to the teams that work hard for it.
