Movie Reviews of The World at Their Feet - The Legendary Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team
Movie Review: Not just for soccer fans...For sports fans and Americans too...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a male and I am not a soccer fan. The last time I played soccer was probably at recess in sixth grade. But I am an athlete, a huge sports fan and an American. For a reason unbeknownst to me, I was watching the 1999 World Cup Final live on TV. I can say without a doubt that, with the exceptions of maybe McGwire's 62nd and Gibson's 1988 miracle, it was the most exciting sports moment I have ever witnessed.
In June 2006 I watched "Dare to Dream: The Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team" on HBO. Since that documentary was not out on DVD, I bought this one. This DVD does not disappoint. It covers the history of the team - from their days of toiling in anonymity through the historic 1999 World Cup run, when an entire country rallied behind them. I found it inspiring to learn how a group of teenagers (Mia Hamm was 15 when she joined the team in 1987) persevered for so long while getting paid so little, all for their love of their game and each other. It was neat to see the rise of women's soccer from the first crowds of a few hundred to the 1999 World Cup final game crowd of over 90,000. Several people were interviewed for this DVD, including several team members, the coaches, family members, sports writers and even former President Clinton. They all share different perspectives on the team which are neat to hear.
This DVD offers insight not only into the team but also into some of its players individually. It was cool to see the bond and cameraderie that existed between them which I am sure had a lot to do with their success.
For me, this DVD was eye opening because I didn't know a whole lot about the team other than that I respected and enjoyed watching what they did in 1999. I can admit that I don't often watch women's athletics, but I can say that I now have a whole new respect for women's soccer. I'd recommend this DVD to every soccer fan, any sports fan and any patriotic American.
P.S. I'd also recommend getting the "Dare to Dream: The Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team" DVD when it comes out.
