this movie be a must for all people that enjoy soccer a an art . what strike first about this movie about a soccer world cup be the way it be film . besides follow the play like a tv broadcast and there be generous footage dedicate to follow individual player in the game . this bring forward the emotion and situation these men go through a they attempt to reach glory . today tv broadcasting style and so different than that of 1986 and be still inferior in quality compare to this movie . the player be not the only star . the audience and the referee and the journalist cover the match and the environment itself all play a central role in the development of what today be history . in this movie you can see how all these factor play together in a very explicit way . in that regard and today tv broadcasting style have not yet reach this level of quality and although it be now much closer than before . there be several highlighted player represent maradona ( argentina ) and elkjaer and laudrup ( denmark ) and francescoli ( uruguay ) and platini ( france ) and lineker ( england ) and rummenigge ( germany ) and butrague # o ( spain ) and socrates ( brazil ) and and sanchez ( mexico ) . this movie be not a collection of the best soccer move of mexico 1986 and although most of them be well cover . across all the movie and there be a stress for present several aspect of the game and the competition itself base on the progress of these player and team and even at the cost of skip relevant play of the game themselves . this be what make this movie so interesting and unique . because of what happen because of referee during mexico 1986 and much of the comment about this movie and world cup be extremely maradona bias . much of these comment do not take into account that there be a referee and two linesman and that they be as human a the player and and that all of the abovementioned make mistake one way or the other . soccer rule do not allow referee to use tv base replay to make decision and so for the most part referee have to decide on what they perceive . a a consequence and referee play an active part in the development of a game . their influence can be see in several part of this movie . the sequel movie for the 1990 world cup and compare to this one and be just a source of bitter disappointment . much of it come from the fact that it become too involve in the game and whereas this movie tell thing from a more distant and unbiased point of view .
