Next Goal Wins
Overview
They once lost 31-0, the worst defeat in international football history. Now they have one gloriously unlikely shot at redemption. The American Samoa national team, a lovable band of misfits, gets a new coach in Thomas Rongen, played by Michael Fassbender, a tough, cynical Dutch-American hired to turn the team around. What he finds is a squad full of heart and humour, including Jaiyah Saelua, a transgender player played by Kaimana, and teammates whose spirit far outpaces their skills. As Rongen clashes with the island's warmth and chaos, he slowly learns that winning means something different here. Funny, heartfelt, and irresistibly uplifting, this underdog story celebrates the joy of playing for pride, community, and the simple love of the game, no matter what the scoreboard says. You will root for them.
