Top 5 football films

Football is arguably the most popular sport in the world. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that many films have been made about the sport. Some have been documentaries, some are wholly fictitious while others are based on real-life events. Not all movies that have been madeon football have been well-received, however.

Let’s take a look at 5 of the best films that are about the beautiful game:

Goal: The Dream Begins

1) Goal: The Dream Begins – The first (and by some distance, the best) movie of the Goal trilogy follows the trials and tribulations of the talented yet poor Santiago Munez, an illegal Mexican immigrant living in the United States. An ex-Newcastle player sees him play for a local team and manages to get him a trial for the side. He faces plenty of difficulties along the way (including how to get to England along with the disapproval of his father) but manages to make it into the first team and eventually plays a pivotal role in the club qualifying for the Champions League that season.
