King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Confidence and Dreams


"Every dream has a beginning."
- Tagline of the movie Goal! (2006)
.
"The only one who can tell me I'm not good enough is you. And even then I may not agree with you."
- Munez to his Coach
.
If you like rags-to-riches fairy tales, you'll love this movie. Santiago Munez struggles to make his dream come true much to the disappointment of his father. Leaving his life behind, Munez boards a plane & heads to English Football Club Newcastle United. The trials & tribulations that Munez faces as he tries to achieve his dream will test every fiber of his being.

“Goal!” is basically like every other sports film before it, as a young hero does all he can to make it in the big league. Sports films are like romantic comedies we have seen the same thing a million times but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy the journey. This is a beautiful film that focuses much on themes like integrity, honesty, discipline, friendship & love.
