ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

David Ders I think this movie is great because it can be such an inspiration for the people who come from different country and wan live the American Dream or even for the people who Born's in U.S. This movie shows us United state is a county of opportunity if anybody works hard and want it bad enough any dream is possible to accomplish like we see in the movie from working in a restaurant playing for one of the great soccer club in world even though his dad didn't believe on him as well as collage coaches because he didn't give up he keep pushing through hard times he finally got a great result. It's something Me and other can relate to. God bless America and lets all work hard and accomplish our dreams.

studioAT Although the sequels were diminishing (the 3rd one is terrible) this first in the FIFA commissioned series is a real gem that manages to both be about sport and also about real character and their emotions.It's real fantasy stuff as Santiago Munez comes from LA to play for Newcastle Utd and the journey he goes through along the way. The actors all do some nice work in their roles and the script from La Frennis and Clement adds a fair bit of humour.The football scenes themselves are a bit hit and miss, but certainly well attempted. If nothing else this film captures the spirit and love that people have with the English Premier League.Overall my advice would be to watch this film and forget about the sequels.

sayed-wael This movie talks about a young kid named Santiago Munez, who lived his childhood in Mexico, and then moved to America. His dream was to become a professional footballer, but he faced a lot of problems trying to achieve that dream, one of them was his father. During his teenage life, he played for a local team in Los Angels, and had two part-time jobs. During one of his matches, a former footballer who played for Newcastle United, named Glen Foy attended his match and witnessed the young man's talent. After the match, he promised him to get an agent to watch his next match, but unfortunately he couldn't make it. The next day, Glen Foy had a phone call with Newcastle manager to give the young man a trial, which he accepted. here came the turning point of the movie which was his dad. He saw him collecting money to go to Newcastle, and decided to take away all his money in-order for him to not go, which made the young completely upset. The next day his Grandma came up to him and gave Santiago the ticket to Newcastle without his father knowing. The next day he was in Newcastle where he faced millions of problems. On the day of his first and only trial game, he played in a muddy pitch which he was not used to in America. His performance was bad and was rejected by the manager. On the same day, Glen talked to the manager in personnel and convinced him to give the kid a 1-month trial for the club, Newcastle United. After 3 weeks of hard work, he mad it to the reserve squad. The only problem he had was that he suffered from breathing problems. On his first match, he lost his inhaler on the time he needed it. He played terrible during his match which made the club decide on letting him go. During his training sections a first-squad player was playing with him and noticed his talent. On the day he was leaving back to Los Angels to the Airport, for coincidence, the first-squad player. Gaven Harris was with him. Santiago explained his problem with Gaven and told him he'll talk to the manager, When he arrived to the training ground, Gaven had a talk to the manager and explained Santiago's situation, the coach agreed on letting him continue. The young man had no excuse now,where he had to prove himself,which he did. He played and worked harder everyday until he reached the first-squad. The team had only three matches left and had to win them all to qualify for the Champions league. He played his first two matches as a substitute. On the third and last game, the coach decided to play Santiago from the beginning, where Santiago manged to score the winning goal and qualify his team to Champions League.

andybrown41 A classic tale of rags to riches, this film is one of the most uplifting and inspirational pieces of cinema I have seen in a long time. A breath of fresh air to a somewhat clogged genre of sport films. The basic plot outline is of a young Mexican, Santiago Munez, who, with his family, crosses the boarder into America to pursue the classic "American dream". After getting noticed by an ex football talent scout, Glen Foye, played by the superb Stephen Dillane, he makes his way to England to trail for Newcastle United. With many humps and bumps along the way, this fairytale story eventually climaxes with Santiago gaining his place on the Newcastle United senior team. This heartwarming tale has it all, happiness, sadness, romance and some terrific "one-liners". The quality of football acting is also flawless and aided by the appearance of professional footballers such as Alan Shearer who really know how to use the leg weight machines in a gym. I would definitely give this film four yes's and recommend it to all cinema lovers - "he saw me play, he saw me play!"
