剧情介绍
The power of hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, and an object lesson in what it really means to be a winner in life.
In 2001, the tiny Pacific island of American Samoa suffered a world record 31-0 defeat at the hands of Australia, garnering headlines across the world as the worst soccer team on the planet. A decade after that humiliating night, they remain rooted to the bottom of FIFA's World rankings, having scored only twice in seventeen years. They have lost every competitive game they have ever played. Against this backdrop of serial underachievement, the team face the daunting prospect of a qualification campaign for the upcoming 2014 World Cup in Brazil. It would take a miracle-maker or a madman to turn the team's fortunes around - and in maverick Dutch coach Thomas Rongen the islanders somehow find both. As a loan appointment from the mighty U.S. Soccer Federation, with experience of playing alongside football greats like George Best and Johann Cruyff, Rongen is completely unprepared for what greets him on the island - in his own words it is "by far the lowest standard" of football he's ever seen, with only half of his team even fit enough to play a whole game. A lack of athleticism aside, Rongen's ailing squad contains the emotionally scarred goalkeeper who conceded 31 goals against Australia a decade earlier and a member of Samoa's third gender, the fa'fafine, who lives 24/7 as a woman. To complicate matters further the team's best player has been posted 6000 miles away by the US military. With the team about to embark on a grueling World Cup Qualification campaign, Rongen has just one month to transform this ragtag of losers into a winning team - and perhaps learn a little about himself along the way.
真的好纯粹，进第一球的时候眼泪都出来了
观众永远会热爱以弱博大，败者逆转的故事。
看完迅速去查了下fifa排名，现在美属萨摩亚排187，不错。
有关弱者要如何justify自己存在的故事，远比听取强者的故事有力量。
美属萨摩亚，一个曾经长时间在国际足联排名垫底的球队，一个十七年没有一场胜绩未进一球的球队，但是他们的球员踢球都是因为纯粹的热爱。他们在与汤加的比赛中终于进球了，终于赢了。他们队中还有世界上第一位跨性别者球员。五星不仅给这部纪录片，还要给这支伟大的球队。
用来学剪辑
不错
简单诚恳热情的那种纪录片，确实挺适合改编成励志作品的
纯属纪录，没有太多
简单的小片大大的能量
作为足球爱好者来说，这部纪录片确实很让自己感触颇多
前几天看了场比赛 电竞联赛的倒数第二名在无人期待的情况下横扫第二名 那种热血沸腾感就是竞技体育的魅力——即使客观的说 赢下这场比赛也注定出局 但是 此刻 球 在我脚下
四平八稳政治正确体育外纪录片 萨摩亚作为母题仅仅取了其弱 缺乏深挖的敏锐和关切 这片子和足球也没太大关系
这真是名副其实的“为遥不可知的命运欣喜”了。
足球的魅力！
