I watched this repeatedly on HBO as a kid. Still have the VHS tape I used to record it. As an American kid playing soccer in the 1980's, this was the only coverage of the World Cup I ever saw. The beauty of this film made me fall in love with the international game, and I still feel giddy ever four years when the World Cup is played.
This is not your traditional highlight video. Rather, it's a film that brings out the passion and heartbreak that makes football what it is. Mix the poetic narration of Sean Connery with field-level action shots and it is impossible to not get caught up the stories. Brazil - maybe the greatest team to never win it with their throngs of fans. Italy - The controversial Paolo Rossi with 6 goals in three games (and the Tardelli goal...greatest celebration of all time). Argentina - The young Diego Maradona's inauspicious World Cup debut. The list continues...
Highly recommend for any football fan.
