Goal – The Trilogy (DVD)

Description

Goal!
Santiago Munez is a poor Mexican-American immigrant who seems destined to follow his father into menial jobs to support the family. But with his exceptional talent for soccer, Santiago is given the chance of a lifetime to live his dream and make it as a professional footballer. This means leaving his family, his life and everything he knows in Los Angeles to travel halfway around the world to England for a trial with top club, Newcastle United. Alone in the exciting, glamorous and completely foreign world of professional football, Santiago must choose between his father’s fate and his own destiny to prove he has the talent and determination to play amongst the best. With some of the world’s biggest footballing stars on show, including England captain David Beckham, Spanish superstar Raul and former world player of the year Zinedine Zidane, Goal! provides the most exciting and authentic football action ever to be seen on film. An ideal gift for anyone in love with the beautiful game, Goal! arrives packed full of goalmouth action, comedy, camaraderie and unmissable extras. If you share Shankley’s view that football is more important than life or death, then don’t miss out on Goal!, the greatest football film ever.

Goal! 2
Picking up where the first left off, Goal! 2 is a continuation of Santiago Munez’s story, as he gets to grips with playing for a premiership team and is exposed to the temptation and privilege his new found fame brings. A lucrative transfer to Real Madrid places Santiago (Kuno Becker) alongside some of the world’s greatest players but creates a gulf between him and his fiancee, Boz (Anna Friel). Will Santiago be able to see past what drives him as a footballer to discover what is essential to complete his life as a man? With cameo appearances from the likes of David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo, Goal! 2 scores as a celebration of the beautiful game.

Goal! 3
Mexican football star Santiago Munez (Kuno Becker) is pitted against his Real Madrid team-mates and England players Charlie Braithwaite (Leo Gregory) and Liam Adams (JJ Feild) in a quest to lift football’s ultimate prize: the FIFA World Cup.
Santi is motivated to try and win the trophy for his late father and family back in Los Angeles and Madrid, whilst Charlie and Liam just want to try and end the Three Lions’ 40 years of pain. For all three charismatic footballers, the path to football glory is one fraught with temptations and torments – and all three have to deal with personal issues off the pitch that affects their roles on it.
Triumph and tragedy sit side by side in equal measure on this journey as the players compete on the field of dreams to achieve their ultimate dream – to score the winning goal in the World Cup final and lift the cup in victory to the delight of a whole nation of fans.
