Missing live sport during lockdown Here are 6 soccer movies to watch

Now almost people are on lockdown. How do you spend a day? Here are 12 sports films to share with all of you.

1. The Damned United (2009)

Of course this one was going to be in the number one slot. The Damned United is not just a great football film, it’s mostly just a great film. The movie follows Brian Clough’s dramatic and not entirely well-fated time as the manager of Leeds United. The movie is all about the inner workings of the British Football Association and the politics behind the players. It’s a great film with some stunning performances and definitely worth a watch, even for those less interested in football.


2. She’s The Man (2006)

Shakespeare’s works have been adapted in all kinds of ways but putting Twelfth Night in the context of a woman dressing as a man to join a football team has got to be one of the strangest. Amanda Bynes plays a girl who dresses as a man to help her brother’s football team after he decides to go away. This is, naturally, the only way to save the team. And, of course, there’s a complex romance and farcical elements.


3. Bend It Like Beckham (2002)

Another inspiring tale of football helping to bring people together. Jesminder is an 18-year-old daughter of Punjabi Sikhs living in London. Her parents ban her from playing football because she is a girl, despite her love of the sport. In secret, Jesminder joins the local women’s team and helps them advance to the top of the league. When her parents find out, she’s forced to choose between loyalty to herself or to her family.

4. The Game Of Their Lives (2005)

Set in 1950, this film tells the story of how the American national football team once managed to defeat England in a world cup match. The movie explains the backstory of the team and what led them to manage to beat the England team.

5. Goal! The Dream Begins (2005)

The first film in the Goal! series sees a young football player called Santiago Munez being taken to England to play for Newcastle United. He has to prove himself and work hard to win a place on the team. There are obviously trials and tribulations on the way, plus literally dozens of cameos from major football faces.

6. Kicking And Screaming (2005)

A Will Ferrell movie that does everything you’d expect a Will Ferrell movie to do. Its lead plays Phil Weston, a meek and mild vitamin store owner. He takes on the coaching of his son’s football team to get back at his own father, also a football coach, who used to keep him on the bench every game. With Phil’s help the kids get better and better until they’re ready to challenge the team coached by Phil’s dad.

Hope all of you can enjoy the movies and have a great day with your family! If you have any other movies to share with us, comments are welcome!
