I was sure there was already a thread on this? Anyway, I couldn't find it. I know the links to the FA Cup and World Cup finals, as well as some documentaries chosen, on the 'Totally Football Show' website and watched, or in some cases rewatched, a few this morning. Is there any other good ones out there that we might not know about? Or even ones we do! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Excellent! I will be want this lockdown to continue to get through everything I want to! That McIntyre documentary was crazy! He was always a bit sensationalist in his delivery, but he had some balls doing what he did.

Finished this, really good watch. A few things 1)Klinsmann was a good motivater but Jogi Loew was the real brain clear to see why he took over. 2) also clear to see why him and Ballack eventually fell out, Ballack really was a moany prick. 3.its clear to see how they eventually became world champions albeit 8 years later, the team spirit they created was brilliant

Strangley enough, there's a similar documentary called Die Mannscaft following the German team in Brazil 2014, where the story had a happier ending. Here's the trailer:- https://youtu.be/YCNyabfWiLI" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/YCNyabfWiLI Can't find the full version with English subtitles anywhere, though.

| Aye, fair play for putting it up, had a watch myself. Thought it was really good, Ballack is a dick by all accounts.

Just to point out I'm not dissing Klinsmann with my comments, above I think he done a fantastic job. if you've ever read(if not I'd recommend) Das Reboot by Rafa Honigstein, he done a fantastic job to rejuvenate the German squad after Euro 2004 failure and how he improved the mood of the nation towards the team.

Yeah I have a gra for Argentina and their football also. I was over there in January for a few weeks. Went to see Racing Club play. Boca have banned tourists from the ground which is fair enough. I'd been to the games there in the past though. Even the stadium tour is superb. I can't think of another club globally who invest as much socially into their local area than Boca, it's amazing. ------------- El Puto Amo |

Is that due to crowd trouble? worked with a lad who is an Independiante fan has told me some stories of derbies against Racing. Their stadiums (as you probably seen) are literally across the road from each other

No, the Boca president is stopping ticket touting and wants to maintain the atmosphere in the ground. He says that tourists can go to the club museum and learn about their history there. He wants real supporters in the Bombonera. They have a huge waiting list of actual fans who can't get into the games so I can't argue with his philosophy at all (although I tried everything I could to get a ticket!). I got an Uber back into the city after the Racing game and the driver happened to be one of their Ultras. He said he was mates with Lisandro Lopez and was showing me pics of them boozing together at a BBQ. I asked about the Independiente rivalry. He immediately shushed me and said I was not to mention that word in his car  We had ordered the Uber from a petrol station a bit of a walk from the ground, he said if we had been wearing red when he showed up then he would have knocked us down. He was joking. I think. The quality of the game wasn't great but I loved the stadium. It's like a Colosseum with steep seating and a moat around the pitch. Their fans are very passionate. ------------- El Puto Amo |

The league hadn't started back when I was there in July but an Argie friend of mine managed to get one of his friends (a season ticket member) to give us a tour around the stadium. Was interesting listening to the stories of the rivalries within Boca between players and managers, and between Riquelme and Maradona. Can only imagine what it would be like to experience the atmosphere on match days, both outside and inside the ground. It's class the way when you start getting near the ground, everything is just blue and yellow; buildings, electrical boxes, etc. They are fanatical (the fella who gave us the tour was a doctor but was an Ultra ) but my friend reckons the Uruguayans are the most fanatical in SA. Not a place I would have considered tbh.------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Watched this last night, decent viewing but not as good as the 2006 document. Not sure why but I don't think it had the same charm as the 2006 doc. Everything seemed very serious maybe it was the car crash which happened in South Tyrol before they headed to Brazil. Maybe it was that Jogi Low was a more serious and controlling manager then Klinsmann was or it could just be that they weren't in Germany. Training camp they made in Bahia was brilliant- away from everything brought get camaraderie in the squad ( think they done the same for Russia and it fell flat on it's face). Thomas Muller really is a bit of a mad bastard, loves his golf, kind of taken over the class clown role from Schweinsteiger and Podolski who both seem to matured a lot in 8 years since the last document. |

Just watched this. Very good alright, one criticism i'll give it though it seemed to slightly glamorise the hooligan aspect as we weren't as bad as they say we were. Also painted the Ireland game as the worst game of football ever played. (obviously they didn't see Ireland vs Egypt).

I seem to be the only one who didn't think much of One Night In Turin. Archive footage we've all seen before, no new insights or interviews. The only things shot especially for the movie were the staged close-ups of the ball being place on the centre circle, hitting the back of the net etc. Nothnig at all like the All Played Out book it was based on, which was the story of author Pete Davies's odyessy through the Italia '90 tournament and full of interviews with the players at the time. |

That's kind of my point! At the time here were VHS releases and highlights compilations at Christmas of England at Italia '90. Did this One Night In Turin movie, released 20+ years later, have anything new to add? Most emphatically no. |

The 2 Escobars is very good. Documentary about the Colombian footballer Andes Escobar, who was shot and Pablo Escobar. It shows the rise of each men and how their paths cross.

I think the point of it was to remove some of the myths surrounding that tournament and around England’s involvement in particular. I think it did that well and was well put together answer honest. I think the other compilations fed those myths, albeit not deliberately. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Kevin Allens (brother of actor, Keith) Italia 90 Diary is the best documentary on that world cup. The doc follows him through the tournament supporting England. The whole thing is now on YouTube having previously been in about eleven 10 minute parts. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Very well done from the man who also gave us my favourite film. I always found it odd that two Welsh brothers would be such England fans, but I suppose that’s the Welsh for you. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Kevin was born in England. Think the family is English, spent time at bases in Wales, England and other places as the father was a military man. Settled in Wales then. ------------- Blog: http://afalsefirstxi.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI Twitter: @afalsefirstxi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/afalsefirstxi/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI |

Outside of football he is most associated with Wales though. ‘Twin Town’ was written as a homage to his hometown, ‘Under Milk Wood’ being part of the ‘Cool Cymru’ movement and even running, I think, Swansea’s campaign to be capital of culture. He is a Swansea fan too. Keith supports Fulham. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Suited him and suited his career. He was still born in England to an English father and also spent a good chunk of his childhood there so understandable why he'd follow them. Even Keith spent a lot of his childhood in England having been born in Wales. Their mother was Welsh. ------------- Blog: http://afalsefirstxi.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI Twitter: @afalsefirstxi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/afalsefirstxi/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI |

They can support who they want, I still find it strange that one of the first people I think of when I think of Swansea supports England.

I'm just providing you some context. It's not as if it's someone born into a family that's Welsh on all sides and never lived anywhere else. Man born in England to English father who also lived and went to school there for a good portion of his childhood in following England shocker.

I’m aware of the context, as I said, I am a big fan of his due to ‘Twin Town’, a film I adore.
I knew plenty Londoners who loved London and followed Ireland/Scotland/Wales/Italy/Turkey/Nigeria etc. It just seems weird when the other way around, especially as he identifies so strongly with the place. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Yeah, look at the Gallaghers for the other side. Liam wore an Ireland top on stage in the run up to World Cup 94, Oasis turned down the chance to do the English World Cup song and said they'd sooner do the Irish one. Didn't stop Noel sporting a union jack guitar and then embracing the whole Cool Britainia thing.

Absolutely. And I don’t have a problem with it, it just feels unusual. Normal when you identify more with the smaller country it takes over, but it just shows how complex nationality is and how much we often oversimplify it in football. On a side note, I think I will watch ‘Twin Town ‘ again later. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.
