Problems reminiscent of skilled soccer not being sincere with gamers concerning the harm the sport can do to their heads, and racial stereotypes damaging Black gamers’ careers. There are shady offers being negotiated to try to relocate a workforce for a greater stadium, and gamers who don’t know what to do with their lives outdoors of soccer.
Does somebody’s eye get yanked out of its socket at midfield in Texas Stadium? Yes, however attempt to ignore that. This film places all of soccer on the desk for viewers to discover. From motivational pregame speeches, to stretchers and prayers.
