Goal the Dream begins

Finally a movie for all you soccer hooligans out there. Although being skeptical upon entering the DVD into my player, I was soon capitvated by the story of our main soccer player (i apologize his name escapes me at this moment). The plot is something like a mix between "Remember the Titans", "Bend it like Beckham", and "Glory Road" as a young Mexican player joins an underrated British team at the behest of his parents. Although I will not reveal the end of the movie, I can tell you that I was kept on the edge of my seat for most of the movie. My only complaint lies in the number of chances our main character receives with each new trial adding to my disbelief of real life soccer. Overall it was a very enjoyable movie that i would recommend for all teens and above. As it is the first soccer movie in a long time that holds its audience captivated one can only hope that a sequel may arise so time in the near future.
