This Is Football

Documentary on Amazon about soccer bringing cultures and countries together. Soccer remains earth's most popular, yet boring, sport to watch. But since it can be played anywhere for little cost, it allows poor countries an avenue to be athletically competitive with rich countries. In turn, various socioeconomic classes and cultures get to interact with each other in a richly diverse environment. Yay.

Of course, the whole show is built around the yawnfest Americans call soccer, so I can't go higher than a 4.

If you're one of the many people who, like me, prefer real football to soccer, check out Amazon's "All or Nothing." It goes behind the scenes of a real sport where people collide, schemes are complex, and a ball can be thrown instead of a sport where a bunch of people kick a ball around a field leading to a mind-numbing final score of 1-0. Ugh.

I never write reviews and this is my first review on IMDb because I loved this series. Just finished the first episode. Absolutely amazing. Don't miss it!

I just felt so inspired and the way it has done the cross over of story of countries and the intertwined with football is so amazing..just can't think of a better show!

A collection of remarkable human stories, told with the backdrop of football. If you're a football fan, it will move you. If you're not, still enjoyable if seen with an open mind. Right up there as one of the best football documentaries for me with "Make us dream".

Very well done, so much so that your emotions become activated.
