Goal!

Santiago is a young man from Mxico who tries hard to make a life for him and his family in the USA, but the prospects of playing football (soccer) prove to be too strong, as he leaves home to pursue his dreams in England...for New Castle, of all teams. When I first heard about this, I was put off by the story line...a little far-fetched was my first reaction...Surely they could have based it on a kid from the hard end of New Castle who makes it in the big leagues... But I gave this a chance and I was pleasantly surprised...Football is something that I'm into...It's one of the greatest sports there is..and here the footy is directed beautifully, every kick makes you believe that it will end up in the net...The actors were all satisfactory and I loved Glenn who doesn't give up on a young man's dream....Overall a good football movie...

I think every football lover has watched this movie once in his life. It's not good as a movie, but it was very famous back then, especially in Azerbaijan. Football lovers were watching this movie with interest.

Been to the cinema tonight to see this latest entry in the football movie genre, and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed overall - but then again, I am a Newcastle fan, from Newcastle ! 'Goal' tells the story of a young Mexican, Santiago Munez who is offered a trial with English side, Newcastle United when he is spotted playing local football in Los Angeles. The film charts his progress from his childhood, right through to his first team debut for Newcastle. If you are after film with a complex, thought provoking plot, then you won't enjoy this - but if you enjoy football, and like 'boys own adventures', then this won't disappoint.

In the mix of all sports movies, when a movie is made for soccer, the expectations of the audience, is a thousand fold. This is because most of the Soccer Movie goers are soccer (football) fans. Football fans are not so forgiving when it comes to the football scenes. This movie captures the scenes fantastically. It shows real football. The filmmaker knows football. The stars know football. The cameramen know football. This is independent film-making at its best. It has the main plot which is the struggle of an athlete to achieve his dream. It has side plots which involve his relationships with his father, his new found girlfriend and his grandmother. His interactions with his brother and his teammates are great. But probably the most important event of his life has to do with the lucky break he gets when a former player turned scout sees him play. From there, the dream begins for the star of the movie and the audience as well. This movie is highly recommended.
