When Santiago Munez (Kuno Becker) crossed the Mexican border into America at the age of 10, he had two things in his possession: his soccer ball and a tattered picture of the World Cup. Convincing his father that he could be an international football star wasn't easy. But when amiable Brit Glen Foy (Stephen Dillane) spots Santiago at a local match, he recognizes a deft, fast and brave footballer, the kind of talent that the English Premiere League is hungry for. Now thrust into a foreign land where football is a religion and Newcastle's St. James Park its cathedral, this young Latin American must prove that he's got the grit and the game to win a contract with one of the most beloved football clubs in the world.

Interesting for a Football fan

You would struggle to like this film if your not a football fan, I think understanding why Santiago has such a deep love and desire to become a professional player can only be understood by those who have felt that themselves. Overall though a good film, looking forward to Goal 2 to be delivered.

Predictable

Mark from Galway, 12 Dec 2007

Far too predictable. Not enough football action for a football fun and not enough romance for the girls.
