Episode 19: Victory (1981)

from Haven’t Seen That in Forever Hosted by SAAM LLC

With the world watching the World Cup, we're revisiting Victory (1981), the WWII soccer film that somehow brought together Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Pelé, and a roster of real football legends. We break down the movie's wild premise, its unforgettable match sequence, and why it feels like a World Cup final wrapped inside a prison-escape thriller. Plus, we discuss the real players behind the film, Pelé's impact, and whether Victory still stands tall among the greatest soccer movies ever made. One match. One chance at freedom. One bicycle kick for the ages.
