GOAL! The dream begins.

[Guest me094]

I'm not sure if there is a thread on this movie but anyways i had to start one... I had the opportunity to watch this movie on Monday night...

I really liked it... worth every penny i paid... and that was a lot of pennys... haha... jk... everything about the movie was good... i can't seem to put into words my feelings about it but definitely its makes you want to jump on a field and play... it makes you want to work hard at everything you do... Definitely must watch for everyone...

Has anyone watched it yet? If yes... talked about what you think about it... i really enjoyed it but maybe someone else didn't so... let me say that this is my opinion, so everyone is open to theirs...

Some info on the movie:

How far would you go to live your dreams? When Santiago Munez is given the chance of a lifetime, he must leave his family, his life in Los Angeles and everything that he knows to travel halfway around the globe to England and into a completely foreign world--the exciting, fast-paced and glamorous world of international soccer. As an underprivileged Mexican-American immigrant growing up in the poor section of Los Angeles, Santiago seemed destined to follow his father's path in life: laboring at menial jobs to earn just enough money to support his family. Naturally gifted, his amazing talent on the soccer field was wasted in recreation league games while he could only dream of playing on the world stage of professional soccer. But when a British scout discovers his talent and gets him a tryout with one of England's premier soccer clubs, Newcastle United, Santiago must choose between his father's fate and his own destiny. Now alone in a world where soccer is a religion and players are gods, this underdog must prove that he's got the talent and determination to make it amongst the best in the world.

I heard that a few Real Madrid players had cameos. Who all cameo-ed?

[Guest vannushka]

I saw this and I liked it.(maybe because I love soccer) but this was good. It wans't 'starring" beckham/zidane etc. They just made a cameo appearance, which made me laugh.
