GOAL, THE DREAM BEGINS...


Goal is an American film that was released in 2005. It is the first film of a trilogy. This film was made with the full cooperation of FIFA, which is one of the reasons why actual teams and players appear at the film.

Santiago Munez, the main character, was very young when her parents decided to emigrate to USA. He loves football and when he was an adult he started playing in a regional team of the USA, combining football and his job, gardening. Santiago was the best man of the team and one day an ex manager of Newcastle, a team of UK, saw him playing. Glen Foy, the manager, arranged to get Munez a tryout with Newcastle United. The first test for Santiago was very difficult because he always played on dry fields but in Newcastle, the field was wet. Glen convinced the manager that Santiago needs a month to show his full potential. After the month, his asthma causes him to play badly, and his coach lets him go. But one day, when Santiago goes to the airport to meet Harris, the best player of the first team, finds out what happened in the reserve game, and he explains it to the manager, who lets him stay, provided he gets treatment. Finally he plays with the first team and he is the best player.

I really liked the acting and the screenplay in this film. I like the film because it is a story that I would like to live. I like the soundtrack of the film because I know almost all the songs.

To sum up, I recommend this film. If you are a football player, probably you will enjoy more than other people but the message of the film is realistic, if you follow up your dreams, probably they will become real.
