Next Goal Wins

Interesting documentary film about the worst international football team, American Samoa. I say worst in the past tense. We begin the film with the nation at the bottom of the FIFA world rankings. The team have lost 31-0 to that great soccer powerhouse Australia!

The team is full of unfit, part-timers. I could go on.... Anyway the US Soccer Federation sends a new coach. A US/Dutchman that once played with the likes of George Best. He slowly develops the team and they record their first ever victory in the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers. The film is a real life Cool Runnings similarity. The film sends the viewer through an emotional journey and makes you think twice about football in particular. A little known documentary film. I had never heard of it or American Samoa for that matter.
