The World Cup starts today and as such the sport of football (or soccer as it is known in some circles) is about to take over the globe. In honor of the grand sporting event, today’s list will be dedicated to the 5 best football/soccer films in my humble opinion. There aren’t a lot of great ones out there yet, but these 5 are top of the table.
“Invictus” is a film that approaches the same story on many different levels. On the surface, Clint Eastwood’s film about SOuth Africa winning the World Cup in Rugby soon after his release can be viewed simply as a good sports film. However, the film has many different layers of the same issue ; how South Africa dealt with sudden change in government with the election of Nelson Mandela as its first black president. Morgan Freeman does an outstanding job as Mandela, actually spending time with the South African leader in studying for his part.
