¡Goool! / Goal!: El sueño empieza: El sueño se inicia...

When Santiago Muñez arrives in Los Angeles from Mexico at the tender age of ten, he travels with only a soccer ball and a faded World Cup photo. When an English scout offers him the chance to fulfill his lifelong dream of playing soccer, he flies to a distant corner of the world to risk it all. However, not everything is rosy when Santiago lands in one of England's most industrial and daunting cities. The pressure Santiago feels to succeed grows every day, causing him to hide a secret that could sabotage his game. There is no doubt that Santiago possesses instinct, skill, and determination. But will he have the stamina to succeed in professional European soccer? Based on the spectacular film of the same name, GOOOL! is a moving tale of challenges and tribulations, tragedies and triumphs, set in the world of the most popular and exciting sport of all time.
