Montevideo, vidimo se!

I loved this film, but there are some mistakes in it concerning the Brazilian team. In the 30's there were almost no African Brazilians playing football. In fact, the first one was Benedicto, playing for Vasco Da Gama and for the national team that went to Uruguai. My father used to tell his story, adding that after him, black players started being accepted. The Fluminense Football Club had a black player who used to paint his body with white powder so that he could play. It gave the team the nickname of "face powder", which is still used today. The clothes the players use in the film are wrong too. They are Brazilians after all, and not Africans. In spite of these mistakes, and many others, the film is very good and brings about many questions related to the world cup that still prevail...

This is an excellent movie, with great story, great camera, great acting.... One more thing this is second part of th movie Montevideo - God Bless you, When I was looking for this movie on this site I just sawed review from ex Yugoslavia's republic called Bosnia and Herzegovina and in every single thing these people form Bosnia (Islamic part of Bosnia) are writing things that has nothing with movie, they write about politics and religious views an in a matter of a fact this film has nothing to do with it and its true story what happened what you can easily find evidence in a 1 minute. In first part of film in that time 1930 was Yugoslavian Kingdom and Croatian players didn't want to play on this world cup and that is a fact that only Serbian players actually did play on this world cup. Its easy to find which players played for every country for example Yugoslavia beat Brasil 2:1

So stunning movie really non political and very easy for watching, I recommend you to watch it an I'm sure you will like it if you like football (in USA soccer). Rating in my opinion pure 10.

I am a football fan and widely travelled but I did not know the story of the Yugoslavia football team in the 1930 World Cup in Uruguay and I thoroughly enjoyed this film from start to finish. I am a little uncomfortable with the reference to the Yugoslav team being entirely Serbian but I acknowledge why it was referenced in the way it was and i empathise with the analogy if a British team competing was comprised entirely of Englishmen.

Superbly filmed, excellent dialogues, loaded with comic moments, touching moments of romance and suspense but I wonder if the romance was true between the Yugoslav football player and Dolores? In years there has not been a football related movie to get even remotely close to 'The Damned United' and the Brian Clough story but this, given it is a foreign language film, exceeds that and you are missing a jewel of a movie at your absolute peril.

It is a weird kind of agony that Yugoslavia beat the favoured nation Brazil in their first match which nation also supplied the reference for that eventful semi=final with Uruguay and the irony extends to the 1950 final when Uruguay beat Brazil on their 'patch'.

The film itself was in my view faultless but I would have liked some reference at the end as to what happened in the lives of those Yugoslav football players. Did they return to Serbia? By the way, reference to Coca Cola was a little odd because I thought the soft drink was not marketed aligned with Santa Klaus for red and white until the Christmas of 1936.

In one of the reviews I've read he/she complains having new flat TVin 1930. with Neymar on it.

Maybe you should consider re-watching a movie ones again, because when you saw a modern TV it wasn't 1930., it was present, having Stanoje (little lame boy) telling story at his old age to another man, who wanted to make a movie about it.

So... since you sh*t on the movie, which you obviously didn't understand, you should not give false information to others.

Great movie, but the sense of humor is not that easy to understand to non Yugoslavian people, since the translation is too literal.

Can't give it a 10, but movie is great…chance to see what was the football when it was played from love to the game, and to see beginnings of interference of managers and money. Of the topic, mr. Petarmatic, at first i thought the same, wtf Serbian best position when Yugoslavia played, then I read about and saw that only Serbian players played, and Serbia has all the right to be proud of its best position in the World cup. Your comments of the Serbian aggression were not pertinent for this site, and are rather one-sided. Couple hundred thousand of Serbian people was expelled from theirs homes and killed in "Serbian aggression" so please edit your comment and keep commenting the movie only.
