David Becham in Goal III

From the makers of GOAL and GOAL 2 comes the newest installment of this fast-paced, football based, action packed trilogy. With the World Cup as its exciting setting, this is the story of two players, Liam Adams (J.J Fields) and his best friend and Real Madrid teammate Charlie Braithwaite (Leo Gregory).

Their journey playing for England thrusts them into the greatest football tournament in the world, and is filled with romance, humor and tragedy. Liam's world is turned upside down by an unlikely reunion just as he's about to reach the peak of his professional career. This is also a 'coming of age' story for Liam who finally faces up to his responsibilities on and off the field of play.

Goal! Goal!
The great origional Film which started the Trilogy
Price: $24.53

However these are my thoughts; What an utter f**k-up of a movie, the Goal trilogy is about the story of Sanitago Munez, a Mexican kid from the streets of LA who makes good and the first two installments are, and you'd be forgiven to think that the next step would be a final conclusion to the Munez story; at the world cup... but no.

Goal 3 isn't even about Santiago Munez, he barely features he is pitted against his old Real-Madrid (whom he never played against) and is forgotten about 20 minutes into the movie. The story is about two fictitious England players that have not even had a mention in the story thus far, it is a cheap spin off of Goal rather than the concluding part of the Munez story.

You don’t find out about his unborn son or the ending to his football career no Anna Friel, no "Gavin Harris", just cliché after cliché, just a huge disappointment to those that enjoyed the first two installments of this football tale.

What more can I say? Get this film just to watch to complete the series but don’t buy it to expect to find out what happens to Munez…just make those conclusions for yourself.

the first film was well and the second film shows the live as a blancos soccer but wtf happen in the third film?!?!

two idiots who play 1-2sek in a simply soccer scene....why it seems that the producer hasen't got enough pleasure and money thats a horrible shit and of course the matches of real and newcastle was better than to show some goals of teams with no links of playmaking

Whoever created this film are NORMANS!

It has ruined a great 2 films.

It had nothing to do with Santiago Munez or his story, except metaphorically; (with Liam and his kid).

I seriously do not recommend this film to anyone with sense, it completely ruins your view on the whole concept of the film. The best part was when it showed real footage from the 2006 world cup and when the mole man died! It seemed low budget and if I am honest COMPLETE AND UTTER SHITE and I'd rather watch paint dry, if you like this film you have to be a FUCK UP with no sense! O and BTW for the time Santiago Munez was actually in it, WHAT THE FUCK HAS HE DONE TO HIS HAIR!

bolocks to this this crap movie i rented in to finish of the story but all it did was talk about some other dudes who where crap actors and all the foot ball scenes where played with green screens which looked crap anyway and thier was no old acctors like gavin haris and you would of thought he would of at least got back with girlfriend or i dont know played football i dont even want to watch the old ones now that i have seen the ending from the third film.there where some parts in the movie wheni thought i was going to see munez's girl but then i suddenly droped and i am going to write to the maker reqesting a new one telling them that they would make millions out of it and they would.

I expected a LOT from this movie. But true enough, this is one of the dissapointing films i've ever seen.

i dont know whats going on with these producers man.i watched goal 1 and goal 2 the best films ever and you know what watching them films inspires me to do what he did and became a footballer but it just lets me down when you watch goal 3.kuno becker hardly even starred in the film.he is one of my favourite actors of all times.so please the producers of goal make a final one goal 4 and put gavin harris back in it and anna friel and glen foy and then you will make us all happy and you then could forget about these comments because goal 4 will be that good.please read this producers and make goal 4 thank you for your time bye.

without doubt the worst film i have ever seen, poor acting and horrific clips from world cup 06 combine to make this a devastating train crash of a film. the only saving grace is the fantasic eye candy on offer which was the only reason i watched it to the end. i wasnt expecting too much from this film but jesus ive seen better acting in porn movies.

Biggest let donw in my life, a perfect, original, not only inspiring, but very entertaining trilogy put to waste in a shockingly absurd out of the main idea movie. This should not have even come out to the market... and the only way to redeem the past two movies is to wipe off this soap opera and remake the movie! I dont care what was wrong with the actors get them back!!! and finalize somethign I was on my toes to have closure for.
