For the football fans.
15 February 2024
Next Goal Wins is an ideal movie for the many football fans amongst us. Yes, I call it football as I'm an European, and because the sport is being played with feet and not hands like American football. Calling it soccer is stupid, but not as stupid as American football which in my opinion should be called American handball or throwball. That said it's an enjoyable story about the national team of American Samoa which obviously isn't good at football. I say obviously as it's a small country and so only normal they won't find eleven football legends to play for their country like other way bigger football cultured countries have. Still great to watch if you love the sport. Michael Fassbender plays the foreign coach, trying to teach the football basics and culture to the sympathetic island people that have a complete different lifestyle.
