317 — Next Goal Wins

The inspirational underdog story hits the field this week as Derek (@DerekMiranda85) and Karen (@KarenMPeterson) sit down to talk NEXT GOAL WINS. As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review. PLOT SUMMARY: NEXT GOAL WINS follows the American Samoa soccer team, infamous for their brutal 31-0 FIFA loss in 2001. With the World Cup Qualifiers approaching, the team hires down-on-his-luck, maverick coach Thomas Rongen hoping he will turn the world's worst soccer team around in this heartfelt underdog comedy.
