Football Days

Six friends, talent less and unfit, form a seven-a-side football team. They call themselves Brazil. They plan to play soccer until they win.

This is a comedy of delusion, of the survival of the unfittest in the face of humiliation and inevitable defeat. On and off the pitch their movements are the same – shuffling, stumbling then staggering, the pratfalls of endearing losers.

Their most formidable opponents, of course, are the women they love but can’t stand – demanding wives and girlfriends. Sexual adventures give way to prosaic thirty-something coupledom.

A feel-good movie; a hilarious buddy comedy, with football, sex and mid 30’s crisis.
