FIVE BEST SOCCER MOVIES

The world of soccer which is best known as football is arguably the world’s most popular sport and the most watched sport by far among others. Thus it comes as no surprise as the filmmakers in the years back and now have for years tried to capture the essence of football onto celluloid and make people who are yet to fancy the game fall for the beautiful sport.

Moreover football and cinema movies have not fostered the kind of relationship that makes Mary go round and they don’t get along more often, mostly because football hardly translates well onto the screen and because the series of drama that goes down well inside the stadium is not possible to capture in script. 

Basically in football, many cared way too much to spiral the sense of reality in state of script and the filmmaker has tried so many times to create the same amount of reality on screen but could only get well with a fraction, but from world monument, to epics and to some shocking revelations through modern documentaries, soccer has crept its way to the all manner of movie moments. 

Sometimes it’s about the story of the footballing and sometimes it’s about a just documentary but sometime it can be about a great fortunate or unfortunate event in the world of football and while it can be out about a competition in the game but irrespective of the form at which the football is depicted on the screen the enthusiasm is always the same anywhere and everywhere. 

More so, some ancient soccer movie still found their way back to the present day as people’s heart melt while the hero or heroine in such movie cannot be forgotten and such is the Maradona case as most movie plot that tell his story is now a blockbuster on many front as his death was confirmed on the 25th of November, 2020

Many are still in awe and some take the field to pay their home while getting their job done. Even the great Lionel Messi was booked and fined while paying homage to his idol in a match that tipped Barcelona to win by at least one goal handicap nonetheless with 1.66 odds according to sportsbookreview.com

However, many great player histories have been reminisced in the cinema hall and so many documentaries about the game are no doubt have been well received by many football and entertainment fans all over the world, but not every movie can be listed among the favourites of all people. However, below are the five best soccer movies around. 

Final score 

The final score is the reminisce of “die hard” which is set inside a football stadium to showcase the liquidity of match flow and essence of underground drama that would change the face of a match as one man is needed alive to legitimately claim a revolution back in Eastern Europe country. 

The scene in the final score is that the fans have no idea that terrorists are in the stadium. While the fan are oblivious to the drama in the stadium while they deep into the match to observe a killer in their midst. The ground is on lockdown. 

It’s up to Bautista to save the day and to make sure no harm comes to his ex-colleague daughter whom he fazed as his own. He’s a one-man army as the law enforcement agents can get in nor the military can intervene but the ex-US Army managed to save the day while saving his goddaughter without help except from a steward who knows the layout of the ground.

The final score is a British movie and is produced by Signature Films and The Fyzz Facility, with Highland Films Group executive. The show star Dave Bautista and Pierce Brosnan.

Shaolin Soccer 

Although this movie is fictional as the comic sense of the movie is too broad to be accepted as a reality scenario, however the movie popularity is seconded to none as it was widely received by many as the time where Kung Fu martial was making the wave globally. The movie tells the story of bringing glory to Shaolin Kung Fu and how to do just that with the aid of football as the bridge. 

The movie is directed by Stephen Chow, who also acted as the lead character. Despite the reception and ratings globally with 14 international and national awards coupled with 42million earned at the time, Shaolin Soccer could not have made it to the top of the list due to imagination and less reality

Pele: The birth of legend 

The movie depicts the meteoric rise of Pele from the slum in Sao Paulo to the pinnacle of football mundial as the little genius led his country to world cup glory at the age of 17 is chronicled in this biographical drama. The legendary Pele rose to the pinnacle and was quickly noticed for his goal scoring feat in Sao Paulo while taking along to the world cup which judiciously pays off at the end. 

Offside 

The offside is an Iranian movie that showcases the bigotry in match spectators within Iran. Taking for a moment to understand how gender would be a prominent factor on if a football fan can actually watch a football match or not. 

Can a group of women still make it into the stadium even in the nearer future in all parts of the world? This movie is considered one of the greatest soccer movies not only because of the acting, plot or rating but because it touches the core value within Iranian localities as the difference in gender opined to the base resentment. 

The offside is inspired by director Jafar Panahi’s daughter who attended a football match without the care for the national ban. This movie tells the story of how several women wish to watch a football match live at the stadium irrespective of the ban. 

The story derived from the 2006 World Cup qualifying between Iran and Bahrain as Iran won the match in a feisty encounter. However, the movie won the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. 

The Damned United 

Coming to the top of the best soccer movie is a movie that unravels how a man single handedly changed the course of an entire football club while the spiral rivalry between Derby county and Leeds United were at its peak. One of the most talked about stories till date in sport management history is the story of English football player and Manager Brian Clough’s management of Leeds United in 1974. 

However, “The Damned United ” is based on the testimony of 2006 novel “The Damned United by David Peace” and directed by Tom Hooper.
