Despite being a soccer lover, I wasn't aware that a national team lost 31-0 in a WC qualifier, unbelievable but true. This Taika Waititi's parody is based on the aftermath of this event.
American Samoa, is a permanent territory of USA in south pacific with a population of less than 50K. Yet they tried qualifying for 2002 FIFA WC in which they terribly failed. This inspiring movie is the post math of this event and is really fun to watch.
Starring Michael Fassbender as the coach of this doomed team, Waititi has assembled quite awesome comic characters who'll make your day by their funny accent and one-liners. Especially the guy playing Samoa Football federation chief Tavita, who has dreamed of the team scoring "one goal, just one" will win your heart.
Rest assured, you won't regret this movie taking 100 mins of your precious time.
