Captains of the World

I'm a bit football fan and I watched almost every match at the World Cup. I understand that they want to make the documentary around Messi because he won the world cup, but they missed out a lot of other important moments in the cup.

We saw two of the best strikers saying goodbye, Lewandowski and Suarez, and there was no mention of them at all.

Especially since Lewandowski scored his first and only goal at a world cup ever, which was a great highlight for him.

They focus a lot on Wales, but left out some other underdog teams. And where was Germany? One of the biggest football nations, and they barely mentioned a word about them.

Also I didn't like how they portrait the Netherlands team. The FIFA made a big mistake by appointing Lahoz as the referee, who missed two hand balls of Messi. But they only focus on Messi being the greatest, while he should have got a red card, and the whole Netherlands team as some kind of bad guy.

I did like how they portrait the story around the Brazil, Denmark and Morocco team.

It was fun to watch as a football fan, but maybe they could have done a little interview with the captain of every country.

How often do you see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo get interviewed in the same documentary? This is Netflix's biggest sport-documentary ever. This is the most star-strudded documentary ever.

If you are a fan of football, you can absolutely not miss this. Fans of sports should not miss this. It's one of the best-made documentaries out there and it gives incredible insight into what's going on in the players' heads during the biggest sports event.

The biggest event in the whole world - FIFA world cup - means much more than just a game. It's life and death for some people. This documentary lets us follow the all-time greats and the underdogs through epic low and highs. The fact that they actually got all the captains and the biggest stars in the same documentary makes all the difference. Do not miss if you are a sports fan.

Of all the documentaries that get made around a single event, this is by far the best one I've seen. Many players and teams are covered, the Welsh national team with that epic pre-tournament speech was amazing; the story of the Iranian national team and how they had to represent a country whose government is tyrannical against their people was heartbreaking. And what can I say about Messi that hasn't been said before? The unequivocal GOAT. People suspect that the tournament was biased but this is because almost everyone outside of France and Portugal was rooting for him to win the cup; this tournament was always going to be about him. He had just come out of a 36 win streak with the national team and won the Continental tournament Copa America the year before. It was an absolute joy to watch him deal with the problem of losing to Saudi Arabia and recovering so amazingly and conquering every peak to win his well deserved World Cup. 10/10.

Usually I don't watch documentaries, but this came an exception. This is one of the best documentaries ever produced. Editing was perfect. This is very engaging keeps you thrilled. It was not always ups, there was ups and downs for every team and persons involved in the world Cup. This is all around the 2023 fifa World Cup. This covers mainly the captians as the title is. Every match was covered with some excitements. No matter the team is small or big, everyone tried hard to win the cup. This covers interviews with the captains of every team who qualified to the fifa World Cup. Once every four years the celebration begins. Legendary.

Well this series is just an icing on the cake for the greatest script ever written in the sporting history. 10/10.

From the very first episode, so many amazing shots of the World Cup hooked me to this. I don't often review titles on IMDB but I am rating this within minutes of watching this series. Netflix has done an ever so great job at compiling such an eventful series.

Go and binge watch this if you are a sports fan. Cried, laughed and felt goosebumps throughout the series. Messi is no doubt the greatest sportsperson that ever lived, will forever be grateful to witness the Messi magic over and over again!!!
