The Figo Affair: The Transfer that Changed Football

At some point in your life, if you are a Football fan, you probably heard about Figo and this epic transfer/moment but here's a chance to go back in time and understand how this transfer changed Modern Football.

This documentary, gives you testimonials from everyone involved with the decision but in the end, does not give you answers. "Why? Who? When?" It kinda creates a void you didn't knew you had and then doesn't fill it.

It does feel like this could easily been done and achieved in 30minutes but for some reason, takes almost two hours.

I was expecting more when I saw how long it was (Even Borat takes less time than this).

If you are not a Football fan, it's still interesting as it explains parts of Spanish history and Football rivalries.

The yays:

• Epic transfer that speaks for itself.

• The way it shows how the press was and is a big key in Football transfers.

• Some old footage that was well placed and edited that makes you go back in time.

• Paulo Futre. Legend and just survived a heart attack!

Not so much:

• Time spent looking at people's faces... Honestly.

• Can't help but feel like this could've been easily done in half or even less the time it took.

• Not showcasing what Figo accomplished in Real vs. The downfall of Barcelona. Just a few lines saying oh this happened and that happened.
