lozzataylor1999 I haven't seen the film but I've read the plot and it looks awful. There's no way I'll buy Goal 3 on DVD.As a Newcastle fan, the first film was my favorite, the second one wasn't quite as good (I'm being biased however) but it was brilliant. However, after reading the plot for the third movie, it looks really bad. The film producers have completely changed everything and instead of taking part in football's biggest ever competition, Santiago sits out through injury. There's also no Gavin (who retired even though it was revealed in Goal 2 he became 29, which is too young to retire in my opinion), Roz (Goal 2 revealed she became pregnant) or Glen (who got sacked by Santi in Goal 2). The two main characters in the film are two English footballers (one of them sadly dies during the film) who no'one had ever heard of, also a bald man is used for Sven-Goran Eriksson (who appeared at a party in Goal). If I was to make it, I'd have group draws that would mean the possibility of Mexico playing Brazil in the final (but try to make it as similar as possible so they can continue to use real matches) as well as England beating Germany in the third place play- off after losing to Brazil in the semi-finals. In the final, I'd have Santi scoring a hat-trick to help Mexico come from 2-0 down to beat Brazil 3-2 and him becoming player of the tournament with Gavin doing similar to what Paolo Rossi did in the 1982 World Cup (apart from the fact he helped Italy win it) and struggle in the group games before scoring tons of goals in the knock-out stages to become joint top scorer with Santi (who'd win the golden boot with more assists). Before the tournament after the squads are picked, I'd have Santi visiting Roz in Newcastle for a few days before meeting up with the Mexican squad whilst Santi says "RIP Dad" after his winner in the final.
Jorge Fernandez I don't even know where to start. I was so excited to watch this movie because I loved the first two but this one had nothing to do with them. Like seriously Santiago was barely in it not to mention his mother, brother, ex-girlfriend, or maybe even his child because of the way the second one ended. I really do not understand where the producers came up with the idea that this would fit as a good movie for anyone to watch or even to end a trilogy about a soccer player that becomes famous and in the last movie he doesn't even touch a ball during the whole movie. I think this movie was a waste of my time and hope that whoever plans on watching it "DONT" because you will seriously be disappointed.
James Cairns Fire the director, fire the writer. What a dose of Rubbish. Watched the first two they were fantastic, could not wait till this came out. How dare they come out with this rubbish, Santi is in it for about 15 minutes, its all about two England players. They cannot help themselves was surprised we never saw anything from 66 what a rip-off. They advertised on the cover gerrard beckham ronaldo's but they are only in it because it was clips from the 2006 world cup. I can only hope that someone can see what a mess was made of goal 3 and have a look at the other films and do it justice and rewrite the whole film again. I would love to know how it goes for Santi and his family and his career after all that was the purpose of the film. SHOULD HAVE NAMED THE FILM DEFLECTED GOAL
TomCruiseFan99 Avoid at all costs. The only connection to the previous stories are Santi being in this one for about... uhm, 5 minutes! Who exactly thought this would be a good idea??? Didn't Kuno Becker object to his character (Santi) being sidelined? The producers have tried to pull a fast one. He's featured on the cover but he's just a cameo appearance as the main crux of the story centres on 2 new characters that are supposed to be Real Madrid teammates of his, yet we've never encountered them before. Where's Roz? And Gavin Harris? And one of the main things that peeves me the *beep* off was the atrocious match footage featuring the worst digital effects since Ray Harryhausen's monster flicks of the 1950s. Couldn't they even find a proper soccer pitch and try using some actual extras for crowd scenes? Instead they have to uses real games and digitally insert the "alleged" actors into the footage. I've seen TV adverts with better quality.This is NOT a fitting end to the story of Santiago Munez.
