Goal! III - Taking On The World (2009)

Goal! 3: Taking on the World is the third part of the football film trilogy Goal!, directed by Steve Renolds, written and produced by Mike Jefferies from the first two Goal films. Unlike its two predecessors, this film will not have a theatrical release and will instead be released straight to DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on June 15, 2009. The release date for the United States and Australia are not yet known.

The third installment of the football drama trilogy. Kuno Becker reprises his role as Mexican footballer Santiago Munez, who finds himself pitted against his best friends, Real Madrid team-mates and England players Charlie Braithwaite (Leo Gregory) and Liam Adams (JJ Feild) in the hope of winning the sport’s ultimate prize at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Finals in Germany. Santi is motivated to try and win the trophy for his late father and family back in Los Angeles and Madrid. Meanwhile, Charlie and Liam just want to try and end the Three Lions 40 years of pain. For all three charismatic footballers, the path to potential success is one fraught with temptations and torments – and all three have to deal with personal issues off the pitch that affects their roles on it.

Also following the tournament around Germany in their St. Georges Cross festooned camper van are the Geordie Boys, whom we first met back in Goal!. Providing the often hilarious fans perspective of the matches are Gordon (Mike Elliott), Foghorn (Christopher Fairbank), Walter (Jack McBride) and Phil (Craig Heaney).
