Sick Product of a Sick System

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Not so much a feature length film but an episode from a daytime soap opera. This film is terrible! The acting talent is almost as bad as the script, or lack of. Any sense of passion and feeling that the first two films evoked have been washed away for a quick turn around and profit by using the name of the franchise. The title character Santiago Muniz can barely even be considered to appear as a cameo. 96 horrendous minutes of stock footage from various football matches, mashed together with green screen actors trying their hardest to fake any form of talent and emotion.

It is such a crime calling this "movie" 3rd part of, well, nice movies if u like football. Story is so "ill", characters not so accurate, movie follows some World Cup with bad implements of characters on it. Than some so unimportant characters, I mean, not to go farther, really an mess of movie. I feel so sorry for guy acting Santiago Munez that needed to show up on this part. I mean, I hope he took some good money, because everything else will be so embarrassing. Putting that nice girl in it wont help u save this awful movie. Please, if someone is reading this reviews, such as I didn't, do not watch it at all. Imagine there are only 2 parts of movie called "Goal". Thx

England crash out of the World Cup on penalties, one of the players dies, and there's even some fetish vampires and midgets, for the kids.They should have stayed with just the first 2 and Kuno Becker should have stayed with no hair, he looks hideous loll.Still a good movie for soccer fans, more story in this one than soccer action.I loved the first two but this one ugh this I HATED!The movie is supposed to be about Santiago Munez (Kuno Becker) and what happened after the second one but this is just crap! I couldn't even finish watching it thats how bad it was.misses the charm of the first 2 episodes... To much green screen and a less interesting lead character makes Goal III a disappointing end of this soccer-trilogy

I haven't seen the film but I've read the plot and it looks awful. There's no way I'll buy Goal 3 on DVD.As a Newcastle fan, the first film was my favorite, the second one wasn't quite as good (I'm being biased however) but it was brilliant. However, after reading the plot for the third movie, it looks really bad. The film producers have completely changed everything and instead of taking part in football's biggest ever competition, Santiago sits out through injury. There's also no Gavin (who retired even though it was revealed in Goal 2 he became 29, which is too young to retire in my opinion), Roz (Goal 2 revealed she became pregnant) or Glen (who got sacked by Santi in Goal 2). The two main characters in the film are two English footballers (one of them sadly dies during the film) who no'one had ever heard of, also a bald man is used for Sven-Goran Eriksson (who appeared at a party in Goal). If I was to make it, I'd have group draws that would mean the possibility of Mexico playing Brazil in the final (but try to make it as similar as possible so they can continue to use real matches) as well as England beating Germany in the third place play- off after losing to Brazil in the semi-finals. In the final, I'd have Santi scoring a hat-trick to help Mexico come from 2-0 down to beat Brazil 3-2 and him becoming player of the tournament with Gavin doing similar to what Paolo Rossi did in the 1982 World Cup (apart from the fact he helped Italy win it) and struggle in the group games before scoring tons of goals in the knock-out stages to become joint top scorer with Santi (who'd win the golden boot with more assists). Before the tournament after the squads are picked, I'd have Santi visiting Roz in Newcastle for a few days before meeting up with the Mexican squad whilst Santi says "RIP Dad" after his winner in the final.
