Ferring Community Cinema: Next Goal Wins

Ferring Community Cinema's next film is ‘Next Goal Wins’.

 

Based on the 2014 documentary of the same name, Next Goal Wins tells the story of the infamously terrible American Samoa soccer team, known for a humiliating 2001 FIFA match they lost 31-0.  With the 2014 World Cup ahead, the team recruits a down on his luck, maverick coach, (played by Michael Fassbender), to salvage their honour. He is tasked with turning their fortunes around and ensuring that the match includes at least one goal scored by them. He is an unwilling coach, and the undisciplined players are not easy to manage!

 

With lots of slapstick and numerous hard-to-believe missed goals in training, this humorous and heartfelt underdog story is a feel-good film.

 

Next Goal Wins should be fun – the ending doesn’t disappoint – and no prior knowledge of soccer (aka football) is required!
