Next Goal Wins erzählt die wahre Geschichte der amerikanisch-samoanischen Fußballnationalmannschaft, die 2001 die höchste Niederlage in der Weltmeisterschaftsgeschichte kassierte, als sie 0:31 gegen Australien verlor. Im Hinblick auf die bevorstehende WM 2014 in Brasilien rekrutiert das Team einen vom Glück verlassenen, unorthodoxen niederländischen Trainer, der helfen soll, das Schicksal zu wenden.

An enjoyable feel-good sports film by Taika Waititi with likeable characters and a very good Michael Fassbender. Story-wise, it's a stale tale, but it doesn't matter that much as the film flows on a pleasantly positive mood throughout. Don't expect fits of laughter though, but it held my attention very well. 70%.

Such nice people. Such a nice movie. I last played football in high school and I'm about as good a player as Michael Fassbender, but still, Taika Waititi's laid-back comedy worked wonders for me. The bizarre episodes of exploring American Samoa and the training montages are topped, unsurprisingly, by the first game. Cool Runnings but with football. But the best and strongest thing Next Goal Wins is not the comedy. At the half-time speech, the film switches gears for a moment and, thanks to Fassbender's strong performance, also hits you incredibly hard; it brings out the darkness and unexpected cruelty of the world. The only way to combat this is by enjoying life and trying to have fun, not by spinning in a spiral of self-destruction. I think that's what Waititi meant.
