FMM Vibe Goes to the Movies: Goal!

I know, we're at the movies and we still can't seem to leave football alone for a minute! But there's something in this rags to riches tale that I think speaks to all of us here. 

Goal! tells the tale of Santiago Munez, a young Mexican who ends up plying his trade in the North-East of England with Newcastle United. 

His journey, his hardships and his successes are something that everyone here on Vibe can relate to and make this the perfect starter entry onto our movie list. 

With Santiago, and his team-mate Gavin, making vital interventions, Newcastle make an unlikely run to the Champions League places. The climax of the film, featuring a last minute winner against Liverpool, completing his transition to superstar. 

 

The Challenge

Play as Newcastle United.

Go on, make his dream a reality!

Just checked. They have £40mil + whatever else you can make from sales. 

Doable with some Allardyce wheeler dealing!

Yep. And the directors expect European qualification anyway so well within reach I reckon.

Question,that Mexican Santiago should be a striker too or any position?

I’d say a striker to be closer to the movie

Sorry, didn't get a notification about your comment. 

I'd thought striker although in the film he does play deeper at times so I'll say an AMC who's green in St positions would be OK too. 

Also, not too many Mexicans you can buy in Eng due to work permits so let's extend the number of players available!
