By-the-numbers rags-to-riches story, where here we have a quasi-American kid plucked out and almost immediately playing for -- well, a top team in England is a bit kind after recent years. Any American would wonder why there are no minor leagues to work one's way up. The cliches are eyerollingly bad, but it makes me wonder if there's still hope for me playing for the Bruins. Odd choice of Man City fans Oasis for much of the background music.

Actual football footage seems just weird alongside the clumsy staged material -- come on, the lead clearly can't shoot lol --, and the whole thing is a bunch of daddy issues + Fifa, Adidas ads promoting the Premier League. But this still's got some silly, naive charm and the cameos are just awesome -- young Milner 🐐 and, Jesus, there is even room for Eriksson hanging around at a party.

This was a pretty straight forward no frills story. The acting wasn't the best but it was good enough. I'm a sucker for sports films/shows and this one didn't let me down.

There's nothing remotely compelling about this predictable, cliché-ridden sports movie; scenes both on and off the field are uniformly dull, the representation of modern professional football is embarrassingly naïve and the lead actor has all the charisma of a wet flannel.

Just your avarage sports film directed at fans of that sport. If you don't like football/soccer, you might wanna skip this one.

As a movie, and a story, it's rather shit, yet it's hard to not enjoy it if you're even the least bit interested in football.

I'm a sucker for this being a football fanatic. Definitely not a good movie, but I just can't dislike it.

To me, as a semi-professional football-coach, this is an insult!

well... if you're in love with football; the love that comes without question and criticism; you will enjoy goal. it recreates the moments why we love the good game with a wee bit of over-reliance on clichés. had it not used football as its base material; goal would not have been as enjoyable, but with things as it is, and because the fact that it's always the most beautiful thing when the ball gets entangled in those nets; goal is a good watch.

"With any luck its sequels will fail to garner a stateside release due to that most dependable of domestic attitudes: American apathy toward soccer." - Nick Schager

If you've seen The Rookie, you've seen a slightly better film than this one. The thing that irked me the most is Santiago was given so many fucking opportunities, and they try to make it look like he's had a hard life...come on.

More enjoyable that I thought a film about football would be although I can't see myself watching more than once. The acting is pretty good but the plot is full of cliches

Average movie with a cliche "story of success". The good part is, story is all about football.

Cliche. Nothing else. Just one thing seen before after another with cheesy music in the background. Not completely un-watchable though.

If I wasn't a fan of the sport I'm sure I would've found it very uninteresting. The association with Newcastle adds a certain comical aspect to proceedings.
