Sport Movies: Goal (2005)

Santiago Muñez (Kuno Becker) is a skilled footballer. The son of a gardener who lives in a barrio section of Los Angeles, Santiago works as a busboy in a Chinese restaurant and helps with his father's (Tony Plana) gardening business. His ultimate dream is to play football professionally.

Due to his poverty and the fact that he plays solely for a club made up of Hispanics from a local car wash, he feels his chances are slim. Santiago is noticed by Glen Foy (Stephen Dillane), a former Newcastle United player who works as a car mechanic but still has ties to his old team.

how popular do you think the smash hit blockbuster film Goal! was? like for completely hypothetical reasons and not because I wanted to make gifs/memes out of it. I think it may confuse too many people... but wouldn't that be more fun? It's one of those nights tonight i'm sorry hahahahah

“smash hit blockbuster” and Goal! are absolutely not two phrases that belong in the same sentence

HOWEVER

if you were to make gifs from the film i would reblog that shit SO FAST cause that’s my childhood film and I hate to say it but Santiago was a childhood crush of mine🥲

ALSO

confusing people is always more fun! especially uneducated and uncultured people who haven’t watched the tale of Santiago Munez, who escapes Mexico to Newcastle, ENG just because he wants to play football, play out in there brilliant but mediocre films

#lets not forget the hidden asthma subplot💀 #PLEASE GIF IT #for the vibes😂

'GOAL' Voted The Greatest Football Film Of All Time

‘GOAL’ Voted The Greatest Football Film Of All Time

Santiago Munez’s journey to stardom is like no other. The lad went from working in a Chinese restaurant after his father smuggled his penniless Mexican family over the US border to seek a better life in L.A, to playing in front of thousands at St James park with that really annoying bloke, Gavin Harris.

Newcastle United: How 2005 film Goal! became Magpies' transfer trump card

The January transfer window will be crucial for Newcastle United. With just one win in the first half of the Premier League season, they find themselves in the bottom three, in desperate need of reinforcements.

Intrigue about the winter market has intensified since the Saudi Arabian-backed takeover of the club was confirmed in October. Now the Magpies have deep pockets to improve their squad in the new year.

There are many reasons players could be persuaded to move to Tyneside - playing at St James' Park in front of 52,000 passionate fans, the possibility of building a successful new era under the new owners, and, of course, the prospect of hefty wage packets.

But there is another reason many players have made the move to the north east over the years that may help them again, and it is rather unusual.

A number of signings - past and present - have mentioned the 2005 film Goal! - a rags-to-riches story in which a young Mexican heads to Newcastle and becomes a Premier League star - as part of the reason they joined Newcastle.

Current top scorer Callum Wilson arrived from Bournemouth in summer 2020 for £20m. There was interest from Aston Villa, which must have been tempting for a Midlands native. But in an interview with the club's official website, Wilson namedropped Goal! as the decisive factor in his move, 15 years after its release.

"My son is getting to that age now where he's watching more movies and more football. He watched Goal! so I'm sitting there watching it with him and it's all about Newcastle.

"I got the little boy in me excited and you're thinking, yeah that's the one for me."

Other players have cited Goal! as a reason for pulling on the black and white stripes.

Jonas Gutierrez, the Argentine winger who signed from Real Mallorca in 2008, said last year: "As a young boy, I used to get up early to watch English football, and it was my dream to play for one of those teams.

"I knew Newcastle because of the film Goal! with Santiago Munez, and also because of Daniel Cordone and Christian Bassedas, who were playing there and had been at my team in Argentina."

'I didn't hesitate'

Midfielder Isaac Hayden once said: "I'll always remember watching Goal. I was only a kid and I remember thinking, wow, if they're making a film about Newcastle it must be some club."

Algerian forward Islam Slimani said when he joined the Magpies in 2018: "Newcastle is a historic club so I've known about it from a very young age. When I was young, the film Goal! was around - and there were legendary players like Alan Shearer."

And French left-back Massadio Haidara, who signed in 2013, said: "I watched the film Goal! and Santiago Munez was at Newcastle, so in fact I already knew it. That's how I learned about Newcastle and as soon as there was an opportunity, I didn't hesitate."

Senegal striker Papiss Cisse, who joined from Freiburg in 2012, and Brazilian midfielder Kenedy, have been among the others to mention the movie's influence.

Goal! starred Kuno Becker as Santiago Munez and followed his journey from scoring the goal that helps Newcastle into the Champions League to signing for Real Madrid and winning the trophy in the sequel.

Guest stars like Alan Shearer, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Raul all made appearances.

Initially, producer Mike Jefferies pitched the idea to Liverpool and there were also discussions with Manchester United, but the deal was struck with Newcastle after then-chairman Freddy Shepherd got in touch.

Few football franchises have enjoyed success like Goal!, which garnered a cult following and exposed both the club and the city to a new global audience.

Comparisons have even been made between Munez and a couple of real players.

When Miguel Almiron became Major League Soccer's biggest export, joining Newcastle from Atlanta United in 2019 for £21m, he was asked about the film in his unveiling in front of the media, confessing he was indeed aware of the film and links.

Then, earlier this year, the narrative went into overdrive when Newcastle signed a Mexican teenager by the name of Santiago Munoz, who currently plays for their under-23s.

Fans of the club and the film will hope he can follow in the footsteps of his fictional near-namesake and, with the help of some new signings, make the fairy tale of joining Europe's elite come true.

Newcastle United close to a deal for Santiago Munoz

Newcastle United close to a deal for Santiago Munoz

Not to be confused with the fictional Santiago Munez from the Goal! series of films, Newcastle United are close to securing Santiago Munoz. Munoz is a 19-year-old Mexican star and was due to play for a team representing the Mexican Liga MX against an MLS XI on Wednesday according to The Mag. However, he has been left out of the game because of an imminent move to an unnamed English Premier League…

Is the movie real? Newcastle imminent signing of 19-year-old Santiago Munoz 먹튀검증

먹튀검증먹튀사이트먹튀검증사이트먹튀 검증  먹튀 사이트 먹튀 검증 사이트

Scenes from the movie appear to be real. English Premier League club Newcastle United are set to sign a young player from Mexico. Coincidentally, it is similar to the name of the main character in the movie.

This media (Goal.com) Mexico Edition said on the 14th (Korean time), “Newcastle are close to signing 19-year-old striker Santiago Munoz. The detailed contract remains.” Munoz, who was born in 2002 and turned 19 this year, is a Texas-born, Mexican-born player.

He made his debut last October in the Mexican league Santos Laguna. Since January of this year, he has established himself in earnest, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists in 19 games. A strange current has flowed since last February when Newcastle responded to social media. Some saw it as a common occurrence in the movie, but it seems that they were interested in signing him as a real player.

To briefly explain the relevance to the movie, the movie 'Goal', released in 2005, is a film depicting the Premier League challenge of the main character, Santiago Munez. It is the story of a young man who moves to England at a young age and dreams of becoming the best player in the world. The club is also Newcastle. The movie, which was driven by the original box office success, depicts the story of moving to Real Madrid in Goal 2, and David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane made special appearances.

When the news became known, some fans expressed their anticipation on social media. They listed famous lines and characters in the movie, including “I can’t believe it” and “The movie season 4 unfolds in real life.”

Meanwhile, Munoz is expected to join the team on condition of a full signing after a one-year loan. However, after his joining, it is said that he will concentrate on adapting to the league in the second team (23 years old and younger) instead of the first team.

La película funciona porque es sobre todo sincera. No es deporte en números. La actuación estrella de Kuno Becker es convincente y dimensional y estamos empezando a cuidarlo.

How Would Goal! Look If it Was Made Today?

​

The Goal! film series, tracking the ascent of loveable Mexican maestro Santiago Muñez from a standout amateur player in Los Angeles into one of the best in the world, was a staple of a generation's footballing education.

If you're a mid-to-late 90s kid who came to terms with the sport at the beginning of the 21st century, chances are you spent hours in the garden or out in the street practicing step-overs, roulettes and audacious overhead flicks, having been inspired by the film to chap on your mate's door with a ball under your arm. 

If the Saudi Arabian group manages to buy #NewcastleUnited, maybe they’ll finally be able to buy a decent replacement for Santiago Munez

There was talk of a reboot in 2016, but it's maybe just as well that it got binned. Justin Bieber as the main man? No, you can keep it.

No, no; if we're going to reboot Goal! for 2020, we're going to do it right. And having already adapted ​Bend it Like Beckham, ​Mean Machine, ​Jimmy Grimble and more for the social media generation, here is 90min's pitch for how a modern version of the iconic movie would look.

The Team

In Goal! (2005):

Muñez, our hero for the next 1000 words or so, earns a trial with Newcastle United, after impressing out-of-work scout Glen Foy with an acrobatic finish in a Sunday League game in Los Angeles, where he and his Mexican family live.

In the context of the movie, the Magpies are faltered title challengers, and manager Erik Dornhelm (Marcel Iures) outlines their goals for the season in a press conference unveiling marquee signing Gavin Harris (Alessandro Nivola)

In Goal! (2020):

In theory, ​Newcastle still works. They finished 14th in 2004/05, and sit 13th in the league at present meaning they're in a broadly similar position. The studio probably didn't think that the club would go from consistently challenging for a Champions League spot to mid-table fodder so quickly.

So we're going to change things up for the sake of believability. We need a realistic top four challenger; ideally one who has recently (kind of) been in the title picture, and have aspirations of getting back in there

Arriving in England

In Goal! (2005): Santiago arrives on British shores, his trip having been funded by his gran after his dad stole his last €1200. Despite not having all of the correct papers, he is let through by a Newcastle-supporting immigration official because the club 'need all the help they can get.'

It then occurs to him he has no clue how to get from the airport (presumably Heathrow) to Newcastle, so he calls Foy from a phone box to ask. Foy then advises him on which train to catch and puts him up for the duration of his month-long trial.

In Goal! (2020): Our Santiago simply has to have the right papers; there's no way in hell an illegal immigrant gets into Brexit Britain that easily, but we can write around that.

There's no need for train fare; it's 2020, and for a trial at ​Tottenham, Santiago just needs to travel to the north of the city. An Uber is arranged. 'Been busy tonight, mate?' he asks in an overly posh/fake accent, trying to brush up on the culture after asking his 112 Twitter followers how to fit in.

His beach (backstreets of Enfield) montage is set to I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas; we're lifting the tone a little.

The Adversity

In Goal! (2005): Santiago takes to a despicably muddy training pitch and gets the living bejesus kicked out of him by his mildly racist teammates.

He struggles to come to terms with it all; even more-so after a w**ker team-mate in the reserves who has had it out for him since day one steps on his inhaler, ultimately revealing his struggles with asthma to the coaches.

Seeing Almiron and Joelinton up front reminds me of the Newcastle glory days, Santiago Munez in his prime slotting them into Gavin Harris. Those were the days #newars

As if that wasn't bad enough for our emerging young star, he even gets stitched up by a couple of girls at a party, and has 'indecent' (but really tame) pictures sold to a newspaper; pictures which get back to the manager and his love interest Roz (Anna Friel).  

Oh yeah, and then his dad dies.

In Goal! (2020): We're not having any of the xenophobic nonsense in our version. Instead, it's some gentle ribbing about the fact he's only ever played 'tinpot' football in the states. The muddy pitch isn't a problem; we have all-weather astroturfs in the future.

He can't have asthma since he'd never pass a medical in the first place. Our boy's underlying knee injury that's exacerbated by a sly, well-placed kick when that nameless defensive midfielder susses it out.

And we're going to steer clear of the sex scandal altogether. It wasn't a big enough plot point to justify writing in the sort of cataclysmic controversy that would be required to almost disgrace a footballer in the current climate.

His dad still dies, though. We can't change that.

The Cameos

In Goal! (2005): There are no shortage of cameos from real-life footballers. The most notable one comes in the gym at the training ground, when Alan Shearer - then still a player - asks Santiago if he's finished with the leg press machine.

Santiago is later introduced by Harris to David Beckham, and ​Real Madrid teammates Zinedine Zidane and Raul at a nightclub. That has no real significance (in the first film, at least), but it's a nice nod

In Goal! (2020): For obvious reasons, it can't be Shearer. Instead, it's modern day Spurs legend ​Harry Kane, but instead of Santiago springing to his feet to offer the machine up right away, he just sort of shrugs and says he'll be five minutes. He's not intimidated by Kane in the slightest.

Beckham was the most marketable star in football back in 2005; nowadays it's ​Cristiano Ronaldo. So it would be he and two ​Juventus team-mates, probably the underwhelming combo of ​Aaron Ramsey and ​Paulo Dybala, that Santiago has a chance meeting with.

The Big Game

In Goal! (2005): As the movie enters its final straight, we get some 'actual' football. We see Patrick Kluivert net the winner against ​Chelsea to set up an explosive final day shootout, in which Santiago earns a start against ​Liverpool.

Our hero - having long-since gotten to grips with reserve football by this point - has the game of his life. He sets up Harris for the opener and the equaliser to make it 2-2, after 'Liverpool' (10 filler actors and the real Steven Gerrard) came from behind to lead.

Santiago then curls a free-kick into the top corner to ensure Champions League football for the Magpies, and they all lived happily ever after.

In Goal! (2020): We need to change it up, so it's a ​Son Heung-min winner against ​Manchester United that sets up the finale; which happens to be a final day North London Derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Let's say Arsenal are a point ahead of fifth-placed Spurs; so a win ensures Champions League football.

Following the vein of the original, the only 'real' ​Arsenal player is their most recognisable star ​Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. But he has a quiet game; Santiago's two assists and his last-minute winner (an acrobatic volley instead of a free-kick since that's more in line with what he's been doing for the entire film) clinches it.

The stadium erupts; our hero is redeemed, and Tottenham finally have something to celebrate.  

Ah, the magic of fictional cinema.
