There is a great football documentary on Netflix it is called les bleus une autre histoire de france (The blues another story of france). It covers the French National football team from 1996 to 2016).  Don't worry it is subtitled on Netflix, below is the trailer.

Recently watched both "Becoming Zlatan" and "Trainer!" which is a German doco focusing on three coaches in the 2nd and 3rd tier in Germany - they are both worth a watch!


EDIT: There used to be another doco on Netflix which was about the American Samoan football team.

"Next Goal Wins" about the American Samoan team is excellent

"Game of their Lives" about the North Korean team of 1966 is fascinating

"Hillsborough", directed by Dan Gordon, is outstanding

"Og Det Var Danmark", about the Danish side 1984-92 is absolutely brilliant

"The Crazy Gang" about Wimbledon, is worth a look

"The Two Escobars" from ESPN is great, and some of the shorter 30 for 30s, such as "The Opposition" and "Magico" are also great.

And "82 And All That", haha :)

Has anyone seen "The mouse that scored a goal" (aka "Kicks for the crown") a doco about the Liechtenstein team trying to quality for the EURO finals?
There's a trailer on youtube, but can't find the doco anywhere...

Interesting doco airing on Australian TV tonight, about craziness of Indonesian football. 70 odd deaths in last 20 years or something.

Is actually Australia's closest neighbour, but apart from Bali, most Aussies know fudge all about Indonesia.

oohh PNG would be interesting, they had that breakaway league and its where David "Oceania baked beans" Chung was from, always wanted to find out more about what went on there

does the ABC have an on demand service? (suppose I'll have to use a VPN to see it)

It’s a doco on the Indonesian League. Leggy meant PNG is the closest country to Oz.

But Indo ain’t that far off the northern tip either, just not much in the average Aussie’s conscious.

Definitely worth a look. Could have been interesting for the Newcastle boys, if they had had to play away against Persija in the ACL!!

Sorry to thread hijack but didn't wanna make a new thread for this. Some people on Twitter I know have put together a 20 min documentary about women's football in Aussie and what it means to them in the lead up to the World Cup. So thought I would share it here.

not even a docudrama, more a "based on" as its full of inaccuracies The Blackburn FC team in the TV series is fictional - it was Blackburn Olympic that were the first working class team to win the FA Cup, Then Blackburn Rovers won it 4 times in a row.

Fergie Suter (one of the main characters) only ever played one game for Blackburn Rovers

Also no club were threatened with expulsion from the FA Cup for professionalism, it was actually Preston North End a few years later and it was the league not the cup

Still if you ignore the inaccuracies its an enjoyable watch

So apparently Netflix dropped the "Class of 92" series, including the latest installment "Class of 92 - Full time".

Real shame as I enjoyed that documentary very much...

I'm now looking to dOwNlOaD it...but there are too few seeders!

Will definitely check out The English Game once I've finished watching the third season of Ozark.

Here's a good article that gives some background to the Characters Fergie Suter and John Love who are believed to be the first players to receive payment for playing football

Watched the first two episodes of S02 of Sunderland till I die this arvo while my wife worked in the garden with junior and baby slept. Man it's such a good doco, I really love it.
I've always wondered what it would be like to support a football club in the UK. They're just miles away compared to Italy (in terms of atmosphere, infrastructure, fan engagement etc).
Hopefully I'll watch another episode before bed tonight

I watched Season 2 over the weekend. One notable feature of this season is that there is a lot less interaction and talks with players than in Season 1. Apparently a lot of the players weren't keen on Season 2, as they were worried that it would be hard to shed the image of 'losers' if things didn't go well.

I also have to say I found Charlie Methven very unlikable too.

Loved s1 GG... And yes Boxy.. He's annoying as anything. So far I thought the owner was actually the most likeable character.. Very down to earth. Methven sounds just quite fake and very annoying
