Goal! The Dream Begins

Goal! The Dream Begins takes audiences into the exciting world of international soccer. When Santiago Munez (Kuno Becker) is given the opportunity to be a part of that exciting world he is forced with the choice to leave his family and his life in Los Angeles to pursue his dream.

Santiago grew up an underprivileged Mexican-American immigrant in the poor section of Los Angeles. He seemed set to follow the path his father did – working hard labor jobs to make just enough money to get by and support his family. But Santiago is naturally gifted, and his amazing talent on the soccer field was wasted in recreation league games while he could only dream of playing on the world stage of professional soccer. Everything changes when a British scout (Stephen Dillane) discovers his talent and gets him a tryout with one of England's premier soccer clubs, Newcastle United, Santiago must choose between his father's fate and his own destiny.

Now alone, away from his family and life, in a world where soccer is a religion and players are gods, this underdog must prove that he's got the talent and determination to make it amongst the best in the world.

Goal! The Dream Begins features cameos from the soccer's hottest superstars such as David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Raul, and Newcastle captain Alan Shearer.
