Pretty neat. The title is great; a bonus puzzle finding the theme. But...
IMO, 6,7, and 8 don't fit at all. A big flaw.

Good one....but I didn't get one answer or even have a clue until I hit # 11

[12] I guess you'd have to look at it as fitting homonymically speaking. :)

[14] but, not so! (I feel like splitting a few hairs tonight :-) ).
In 6 and 7, the second syllable is pronounced a bit differently than if the theme is followed. And the pronunciation for 8 is entirely different - the last syllable (which is the theme) is contracted in the normal pronunciation of the answer.
Hair-splitting aside, I do think it's a very nice puzzle, and would be much 'cleaner' if those items were omitted. The others are plenty by themselves.

I liked, I liked.
I really have to say [15]'s comments are very fair -- I was indeed thrown off by 6 through 8, as well. (I had a moment of 'huh?!', and then an 'ooooh.')
I found the above comment to be critical, but not ranty and blindly mean as some comments can be. I submit puzzles, and welcome comments such as those: a reasonable critique for maintaining the quality of puzzles on the site. And it includes a pat on the back, as well.
Nicely puzzled, soccer_ref! And nicely commented, gst.
