Mark Roemer Oakland Shares the Best Football Films to Watch During Lockdown

Introduction

With reduced games and endless hours of watching pre-recorded games, most are upset since they can’t go to the stadium to watch a game of football. However, new seasons are coming, and you need to get into the spirit of the sport. According to Mark Roemer Oakland, here are some of the best football films to watch during a lockdown:

 

The Films

1. Football Factory – Danny Dyer plays the role of a young Chelsea hooligan in this film. The film is about him and the violent Chelsea firm. However, the game is based on John King’s famous novel of the same name and has everything you expect from a John King adaptation. If you like some drinking, violence, drug abuse, and more on your television along with football, then this is a film that will fulfill your appetite.

2. Bend It Like Beckham – Released a couple of years after the turn of the millennium, this movie tackled the complex issue of women’s football and highlighted the stigma involved with it. That makes for a great script and when you add family, drama, and a hotpot of cultures you get an enjoyable 2 hours on your couch in front of the large screen. Oh, if it wasn’t obvious enough, this film also has a cameo from Beckham himself. It is also one of the first films to breach the oppressive walls of North Korea.

 3. The Class of ’92 – If you are a football fan, you may have heard of this film a few times, even if you haven’t watched it. The Class of ‘92 has a special place in the heart of most football fans since it covers the rise of 6 legends, – Gary Neville, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, and Phil Neville. The film shows the journey of these legendary players from their journey of winning the 1992 FA Youth Cup to the winning season of 1998 to 1999. The film also features interviews from other players and celebrities including former Manchester United youth coach Eric Harrison, former UK PM Tony Blair, and more.

4. Goal! The Dream Begins – This is a film that has and will keep inspiring many youths who want to become a footballer and play in the big leagues. It is the story of Santiago Munez, a second-generation Mexican American who lives in Los Angeles and wants to play as a professional footballer.

His dream gets a spark with a chance encounter with a former Premier League player. He gets a call from London for a trial and the rest of the journey pulls you into the film and makes you live the difficulties and worries of Santiago. There are two sequels to this film. However, they can’t compare to the 2005 hit that still resonates in the hearts of many football fans and aspirants.

 

Conclusion

Mark Roemer Oakland suggests that you watch all these films during lockdown so that when the stadiums open, you can go to cheer for your team in high spirits.
