Soccer Films

Last weekend I saw a public screening of a new documentary called Pelada (which is what street soccer is called in Brazil). The premise is that two ex-college soccer players (one from Notre Dame and one from Duke) travel the world looking for pickup soccer games. Very cool movie, but it's not available on DVD yet (though the website has a cool trailer).

Another soccer movie I enjoyed is Kicking It, which documents the Homeless World Cup (seriously). You can watch the entire movie here. Even though it's narrated by Colin Ferrell, it's a very good documentary. Highly recommended.
