Soccer, Football, no matter what you call it, it is still full over paid and over hyped blokes playing a sport. Think about it, eleven men kicking a ball of air from one side of a pitch to the other. Guys get a grip, why are you arguing over a bunch of footballers that are good for nothing, talentless tossers.
@FilmTrailersChannel If you think like that, then every sport in the world is stupid.. hockey, shooting a puck and tackling each other unconscious, tennis hitting a smal ball with sticks and have a fucked up scoring system,
haha and saying that they are talentless only makes you look very stupid, try bend a ball like Beckham and lets se who's talentless.. idiot.
@primaxwarpower You miss my original statement. I am not willing to argue over football or any sport, they are not worth it. And I stand by what I say, full of over paid and over hyped blokes playing a sport. By the way, Beckham can bend a ball, but can he change a plug... :)
@FilmTrailersChannel hahah okey dude I respect ur look on sports but I don't agree, everyone has their own opinion about everything. And no i don't think Beckham would have the intellectual capacity to changfe a plug ;)
Here come the yanks thinking "soccer" is shit. Wake up ya bastards, your fucking pussy sports will never be as popular as this. Football. The world's game.
@swansmad1996 =_=" inside america "football" (lol u dont use foot in this game so WTF?) is the most popular game... outside america? THE REAL football is much MUCH more popular.
Who cares if it's soccer or football if it's in another country? I can't believe our TV sets in the U.S. are bloated with the royal families' pretentious nonsense. Who cares about their meaningless wedding? The same people that get enraged that someone calls a sport a different name in another country. They are a figurehead family. Talk about things that make no sense.
@ScarlettOcean92 Ok, no wedding is meaningless. In context to the Royal family having any political meaning; yes the wedding is ultimately meaningless to the world. The only ppl the bloated orgy of vanity they call the "Royal Wedding" (look ma, I wonder wots the rich people are doing..) has true meaning for are the family and close friends. All the fiasco only serves to devalue marriage IMO.
In the 60s and 70s when the film is set, 'soccer' was a word still used in the UK in parallel to football albeit less . It comes from Association Football and is mistakenly thought to be an Americanism.
@MrGreenbaypackersfan It was probably rated R for language. If you say the f-word more than like, 3 or 4 times, usually that gets an automatic R rating. And they do say it a lot ;)
Thank GOD Americans dont like Football.Stay with your softball,American "Football" (which is played with Hands,very logic)and the other BORING sports.So BORING like American Way of Life(and Death)
I'm an italian supporter of FC Inter.I'm a supporter of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor,too.I think this is a great movie, the best football movie of ever values 1/10 of this movie..something of Cloughy leaves in Mourinho.However, this film learns that what's happening to Rafa Benitez is not good, Inter players think that because they are world champions they have nothing to learn any more..It's a pity, Inter could be the 1st team to win Champions league 2 times following..Great Brian Clough!
it was obvious i wasnt made by americans , because its about brian clough , and if it was american , it would be rubbish because they dont know about it .
lol americans think "Football" (American football that is) is hard, when in rugby you can do anything to take the mn down except go above the neck and you don't get SOOO much padding and protection
Probably the best movie about football ever! Great atmosphere and Martin Sheen is acting perfectly! I´m Croatian and never heard about Clough but after the movie I did read a lot on the internet and he is one of the greatest persons of British football! It´s sad that traditonal clubs like Nottingham or Leeds are not playing in the premier league.
Watched this last night , adore Michael Sheen and he had Brian Clough off to a tee. Not a fan of football at all, but it was fascinating to watch - Another Flawed genius me thinks lol.
One thing that they dont say in the movie...He lost the final world cup 1980 with Nottighan Forest against Nacional of Uruguay...the best team in the world..
One thing that they dont say in the movie...He lost the final world cup 1980 with Nottighan Forest against Nacional of Uruguay...the best team in the world..
Yes, Association football is a type of football -the original football. Rugby football is another type of football, and American football is another type of football. Who else refers to football as soccer except Americans?
@heliotropezzz333 - Canadians, Australians and Kiwis (although the latter two have renamed their organizations to feature the term 'football' even though the term 'soccer' is common vernacular). The reason for this, of course, is because there is aussie rules football.
I don't care for the term 'soccer' but the reasoning for it's purpose is convenience. Any suggestion American's use the term out of arrogance is nothing more than lazy, reflexive anti-americanism and base bigotry.
@Pillzbug I don't understand your message as the first part is not a sentence. It has no verb. Is part of it missing? I'm not bigoted. If most of the world calls a sport by a certain name then when referring to that sport it's courtesy to use the name rather than change it for the convenience of a few. That's laziness to my mind. However I don't feel strongly enough about the subject to continue any debate beyond this.
Soccer is a term invented by the British. Again British nobles coined the term. Once peasants and lower class people began playing the game the nobles did not want to be associated with them in this way. They coined to term "football" to degrade and make the sport seem below them.
@pgoody It was not the British nobles who coined the term. The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association",often credited to former England captain Charles Wreford-Brown.Today the sport is known as football in English-speaking countries in which it is the most popular football code. see full explanation in wikipedia.
it's called football, because it's actually played with the feet. Not that American "football" that's played with the hands, calling that football doesn't even make sense.
well by that logic all sport thats are played with both feet and hands should be called football then? Basket ball, rugby, lacrosse, bandy, handball etc...
@kristererik I do not play football, I do not watch football, but if playing football with the hand is more fun for the players and the audience then by all means use the hand, who givs a shit about technical terms.
It's not about technical terms, its about the cultural hegemony of the U.S. They don't play or like football much but the rest of the world does. The rest of the world calls it football, but the U.S. seems to insists on calling it soccer, which is irritating for the rest of the world. I suppose they don't want to confuse it with American football.
There is a reason American football is called as such. Its because people played it on their feet. Whereas other sports, noble sports, were played on horseback... Read up on your history...
I recomend the film to all those who havent yet seen it. Michael Sheen is great as Brian Clough. Fuck the Derby County board, Fuck Leeds Utd, and Fuck DON REVIE. Brain Clough and Peter Taylor R.I.P. Brian Clough is the greatest England manager they never had.
10. The caption says Leeds lost 1-0. Manny Cussins states that its Leeds worst start to a season in 20 years, with four points in five games. A post-match team meeting appears to usher Cloughs sacking.
FACT: Leeds- luton ended 1-1, with Allan Clarke scoring for Leeds. This match was the sixth game. The most significant team meeting took place before the league cup game away at Huddersfield three days later. Clough was sacked two days after luton game.
@LUFCpickerzWACCOE75 Well, authors and film producers rarely let the real facts get in the way of a good story, but I think most people would know it's not 100% accurate. It does convey the atmosphere of football at that time very well though. It's a great piece of nostalgia, even if it's annoyingly innaccurate at times. There aren't many films about football, so it's to be welcomed from that perspective, and it is enjoyable.
It is an enjoyable film but the number of mistakes that are made are abysmal.
Also they seem to have followed the southern press view in the 70s who hated succesful northern clubs- we were "dirty", "scum". Even though we only ever topped the disciplianry charts once.
It is very biased and as for johnny giles. the small irishman. well in this film he looks like a giant who came from a rolling stones party. disgraceful and cringeworthy
@LUFCpickerzWACCOE75. I used to watch football then and remember seeing Derby County. I lived in the Midlands and it seemed to me that the dirtiest teams were from the South but Leeds's football tactics then were to score a goal and then all pile back into defence for the rest of the game. As this was often a succesful tactic for them, the concern was that all teams would copy Leeds leading to duller football. Clough believed in playing exciting football.
Yes, i admit that was our reigning tactic but you cant deny that in the 1973/74 season we werent won of the most attacking, fluent, best teams around with the ball at our feet.
the mistakes were done on purpose so that it can be dramatizied into a film, without these mistakes the film wouldn't have been as enjoyable is it was, all of "based on a true story films" contain fiction scenes to help the drama of the film, and this one was no different.
8. With a caption that reads 1973, Clough and Taylor go to Spain to relax before taking the reigns at Brighton. However Cloughs sunbathing is interrupted by Kith Archer, Leeds secretary, offering him the job at Elland Road- leading to a row with Taylor about their promise to Brighton chairmen, Mike Bamber.
FACT: The scriptwriters get into a horrible tangle here. Revie didnt leave Leeds until the SUMMER OF 1974. Also Clough managed brighton a whole season from 1973.
7. The film claims this game comes on the Saturday before Derbys crucial European cup semi final against Juventus, when Leeds Dirty tactics robs Brian Cloughs side of a number of key players.
FACT: Leeds played Derby a month earlier, with Derby travelling to Arsenal on the day in question.
6. As a nervous Brian Clough waits in his office, Taylor comes down to report that the result was a 2-1 win. This result simply does not exist
FACT: Derby did beat Leeds 2-0 at home on their way to the title in 1972, Cloughs first victory over Leeds came in 1970 with a 4-1 win when Leeds fielded a weakened side as they focused on the European and FA cups.
5. The first meeting between the sides after Derbys promotion ends with the caption Leeds 5 Derby 0.
FACT: It ended 2-0 to Leeds, with Allan Clarke scoring both goals. Leeds did beat Derby 5-0 at Elland Road three years later in 1972, When Derby were reigning champions.
The film says that Leeds goalscorers that day were Allan Clarke and Johnny Giles (a penalty).
FACT: Jack Charlton and Peter Lorimer scored in that game- Which also means Billy Bremners Dive for a penalty and the cheating jibe from Taylor are Fabrications. Allan Clarke didnt actually join Leeds until the summer of 1969, a year and a half later. And he never wore the number 3.
I would like to bring you a list of all the factual errors in this film:
1.When the draw is made, Clough and Taylor are seen wildly celebrating the anticipated rivals of Leeds, with Clough then ordering the cleaners and the groundsmen to make the stadium fit for Don Revies team.
FACT: Leeds played at the baseball ground 10days before the FA cup tie- in the league cup semi final making Revies supposed "snub" on third round day very questionable.
how do they reckon leeds were the dominant force in british football back then total bollocks Celtic beat leeds @ home & away in europe & also beat them in Jack Charltons testimonial wish people would get there facts right!!!!!
It's not in the film but clough was one of the greatest british socialists of all time. He was a great man. The road from Derby to Nottingham is called Brain Clough Road
in theatres right now... or maybe was...obviously limited engagement, was being shown at one cinema in my area (miami) but is already out of theatres because of limited interest...
Chill dude, lol, I am English, and I always call it football, I was just referring to it as "English soccer" so I didn't confuse the American I was replying to.
Suprised this will be out in America, didn't think Americans would find anything interesting about English soccer. Awesome movie thoe, you should read upon a bit about Brian Clough first to enjoy the movie more.
2. Premier League Football is popular over here (GO MAN CITY!!)
3. Know a bit about Brian Clough and his career, an American sports comparison might be the career of Yankees skipper Billy Martin (Clough's relationship with Peter Taylor was similar to the Martin/Steinbrenner mix) Sadly, death ended both relationships before they could be mended.
2 days til this hits theaters in the States (probably won't be anything popular since it's on limited release). I can't wait though. Already been hearing rumors about a possible Oscar nomination for Michael Sheen. Sounds awesome. And for all of you fellow Americans keeping up with English football, I am proud of you all good sirs.
Honestly, right after this movie comes out in the US and people like it......there is all of sudden going to be made a Girls soccer movie on purpose......to show how soccers a girls sport and to stunt the growth of the sport here in the US........like what before.
Im a yank and I agree with you mate! America has not come to realize the football is a world sport! Not an Ameican sport! thats whats wrong with are country!! Manchester United!! Who R Ya!!
I'll be honest, im disappointed in this. The way they portrayed clough is as tho he was a nobody. Wheres the charisma, the wit, the character of the man. They made Taylor look like the brains behind it all. Credit where its due, Taylor had an eye for a player. But Clough knew how to get the best from his players, he had awesome peope skills. The film also portrays him as tho he had some fetish with leeds and Don revie.
To top it off cloough grovels at the end?? NO WAY would clough do that?!!
Clough was the greatest manager England never had. Clough didn't hate Leeds, he hated what they stood for: Unattractive football and dirty tactics. And he was right to.
I saw the movie already. I must warn you, the film doesn't focus on any game. There is hardly any footage of people actually playing football (or Soccer). The film focuses on what happened outside the field.
Yeah nah that's fine, I actually read a big preview in Four Four Two mag, and have become incredibly interested in the Brian Clough story, as in Aus we hear v. little about the characters of the english game.
Brian Cloughs was the old version of Morinho..

It is very biased and as for johnny giles. the small irishman. well in this film he looks like a giant who came from a rolling stones party. disgraceful and cringeworthy

@LUFCpickerzWACCOE75. I used to watch football then and remember seeing Derby County. I lived in the Midlands and it seemed to me that the dirtiest teams were from the South but Leeds's football tactics then were to score a goal and then all pile back into defence for the rest of the game. As this was often a succesful tactic for them, the concern was that all teams would copy Leeds leading to duller football. Clough believed in playing exciting football.

Yes, i admit that was our reigning tactic but you cant deny that in the 1973/74 season we werent won of the most attacking, fluent, best teams around with the ball at our feet.

@LUFCpickerzWACCOE75 I don't doubt it.
heliotropezzz333 2 years ago
the mistakes were done on purpose so that it can be dramatizied into a film, without these mistakes the film wouldn't have been as enjoyable is it was, all of "based on a true story films" contain fiction scenes to help the drama of the film, and this one was no different.

9. After Billy Bremners sending off in the charity shield against Liverpool at Wembley, Clough is shown to plead Bremners case to the FA.
FACT: Clough didnt go to London with the Leeds captain; he left the job to his assistant Maurice Lindley.

Scene: Marcella beach. 1973
8. With a caption that reads 1973, Clough and Taylor go to Spain to relax before taking the reigns at Brighton. However Cloughs sunbathing is interrupted by Kith Archer, Leeds secretary, offering him the job at Elland Road- leading to a row with Taylor about their promise to Brighton chairmen, Mike Bamber.
FACT: The scriptwriters get into a horrible tangle here. Revie didnt leave Leeds until the SUMMER OF 1974. Also Clough managed brighton a whole season from 1973.

Scene: Derby vs. Leeds 1973 (Baseball ground)
7. The film claims this game comes on the Saturday before Derbys crucial European cup semi final against Juventus, when Leeds Dirty tactics robs Brian Cloughs side of a number of key players.
FACT: Leeds played Derby a month earlier, with Derby travelling to Arsenal on the day in question.
LUFCpickerzWACCOE75 2 years ago
6. As a nervous Brian Clough waits in his office, Taylor comes down to report that the result was a 2-1 win. This result simply does not exist
FACT: Derby did beat Leeds 2-0 at home on their way to the title in 1972, Cloughs first victory over Leeds came in 1970 with a 4-1 win when Leeds fielded a weakened side as they focused on the European and FA cups.
LUFCpickerzWACCOE75 2 years ago
5. The first meeting between the sides after Derbys promotion ends with the caption Leeds 5 Derby 0.
FACT: It ended 2-0 to Leeds, with Allan Clarke scoring both goals. Leeds did beat Derby 5-0 at Elland Road three years later in 1972, When Derby were reigning champions.
LUFCpickerzWACCOE75 2 years ago
The film says that Leeds goalscorers that day were Allan Clarke and Johnny Giles (a penalty).
FACT: Jack Charlton and Peter Lorimer scored in that game- Which also means Billy Bremners Dive for a penalty and the cheating jibe from Taylor are Fabrications. Allan Clarke didnt actually join Leeds until the summer of 1969, a year and a half later. And he never wore the number 3.
LUFCpickerzWACCOE75 2 years ago
2. In the commentary Tony Gubba says "Derby are very much the underdogs against Leeds, the First Division champions"
FACT: In January 1968, Leeds were still 18 months from securing the First division title, Scumchester United were the reigning champions at the time.
3. Roy McFarland, Derbys centre half is seen being carried from the pitch after a Johnny Giles foul, with commentary saying "He is out of the game"
FACT: McFarland infact played the whole 90 minutes.

I would like to bring you a list of all the factual errors in this film:
1.When the draw is made, Clough and Taylor are seen wildly celebrating the anticipated rivals of Leeds, with Clough then ordering the cleaners and the groundsmen to make the stadium fit for Don Revies team.
FACT: Leeds played at the baseball ground 10days before the FA cup tie- in the league cup semi final making Revies supposed "snub" on third round day very questionable.

FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!
NOT "ENGLISH SOCCER"
"AMERICAN FOOTBALL" OR "FOOTBALL" AS U CALL IT, SHOULD'VE BEEN CALLED "AMERICAN RUGBY"
THAT'S THE MOST ACCURACY... :@!!

Suprised this will be out in America, didn't think Americans would find anything interesting about English soccer. Awesome movie thoe, you should read upon a bit about Brian Clough first to enjoy the movie more.
rockandstroll 2 years ago
1. It was out in United States and I saw it.
2. Premier League Football is popular over here (GO MAN CITY!!)
3. Know a bit about Brian Clough and his career, an American sports comparison might be the career of Yankees skipper Billy Martin (Clough's relationship with Peter Taylor was similar to the Martin/Steinbrenner mix) Sadly, death ended both relationships before they could be mended.

2 days til this hits theaters in the States (probably won't be anything popular since it's on limited release). I can't wait though. Already been hearing rumors about a possible Oscar nomination for Michael Sheen. Sounds awesome. And for all of you fellow Americans keeping up with English football, I am proud of you all good sirs.

I'll be honest, im disappointed in this. The way they portrayed clough is as tho he was a nobody. Wheres the charisma, the wit, the character of the man. They made Taylor look like the brains behind it all. Credit where its due, Taylor had an eye for a player. But Clough knew how to get the best from his players, he had awesome peope skills. The film also portrays him as tho he had some fetish with leeds and Don revie.
To top it off cloough grovels at the end?? NO WAY would clough do that?!!

Clough was the greatest manager England never had. Clough didn't hate Leeds, he hated what they stood for: Unattractive football and dirty tactics. And he was right to.

I actually agree with you, even though most others probably won't.
and Clough and Taylor didn't even make up in real life, Clough said himself that it was one of his biggest regrets,.

I saw the movie already. I must warn you, the film doesn't focus on any game. There is hardly any footage of people actually playing football (or Soccer). The film focuses on what happened outside the field.
Still a wonderful movie, though.
