All his life Phil Weston has dreamed of being on a winning team. Phil... your time has come.
Phil (Will Ferrell) refuses to compete with his driven father, Buck (Robert Duvall), despite Buck's attempts over the years to make everything between them a contest - when Phil makes plans to marry, Buck trumps him by marrying an old school friend of Phil's. And just when Phil and his young bride are expecting a baby, his dad and new wife announce that they're pregnant first. Phil is determined to raise his son, Sam (Dylan McLaughlin), differently, and signs up to assistant coach Sam's soccer team, the Tigers. But when the head coach leaves, Phil is goaded into heading the team by Buck - who happens to coach the pre-eminent team of the league, the Gladiators. Old scores come into play as Phil keeps raising the stakes in his all-out attempt to win the league championship.
