GOAL!
Film Trailer
“I’ve spent muddy days watching young lads beat the hell out
of each other. But once in a while, there’s one that comes
along and lifts your heart.”
When Santiago Munez 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. Working menial
jobs while growing up in Los Angeles, Santiago’s (Kuno Becker)
passion was playing soccer. Convincing his father that he
could be an international football star was another story:
“There are two types of people in this world,” declares the
elder Munez, “People in big houses, and people like us who cut
their lawns and wash their cars.”
But when Brit Glen Foy (Stephen Dillane), an amiable former
football player and sometime scout spots Santiago at a local
match, he recognizes a deft, fast and brave footballer—the
kind of talent that the English Premiere League Club,
Newcastle United, 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. Muddy fields, cold winds and crunching blows from
teammates—not to mention personal woes, injuries, and the
temptations of life as an international footballer—are just a
few of the obstacles Santiago must overcome to reach his
ultimate “Goal.”
Directed by Danny Cannon (CSI) and set amid the heart-pounding
atmosphere of international football, “Goal!” stars up and
coming Latino actor Kuno Becker. Some of the hottest
representatives from the world of football also appear in the
movie, including David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Raul, and
Newcastle captain Alan Shearer.
