4.0 out of 5 stars Dozens of Fantastic Goals, June 14, 2007

This review is from: All the Goals of FIFA World Cup 2006 (DVD)

This DVD is a great summation of the 2006 World Cup. It includes all the goals, but almost nothing else.

One of the biggest attractions of this DVD for me is hearing proper commentary by informed, skilled individuals which is far superior to the commentary we had to listen to in the U.S. during the televised matches. The other strong point is the many angles from which each goals is shown. The DVD also includes the 10 best goals and the 10 best saves.

The only weakness is that group play is a single chapter: You have to fast-forward to get to another group's goals. I was also concerned with getting my money's worth (given the relatively high price of the DVD), but I ended up watching it several times in the first couple of weeks.

Strongly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, January 1, 2007

This review is from: All the Goals of FIFA World Cup 2006 (DVD)

I found this DVD to be extremely disappointing, especially when compared to the 2002 FIFA World Cup Highilights DVD by Reedswain (and I don't think Reedswain has produced one for the 2006 WC). If you want to see a bunch of goals, one right after the other, then perhaps you'll enjoy it. However, I think this DVD utterly and completely fails to capture the excitement, anticipation, electric atmosphere, and beauty of the tournament. To me, it was a passion-less production.

There is little to no pre-match analysis/introduction of the games being played, or its star players; there is no break in between the goals from one game to the next; and there are no highlights other than goals. I know, that's why it's called "All the Goals", but without other meaningful highlights, the goals are seen out of context and are almost meaningless. For instance, how can you not show Zidane's infamous headbutt on Materazzi in the final, and how it affected the game? This DVD doesn't. And what about the drama of Australia scoring 3 goals in the remaining 10 minutes against Japan, after Japan had been leading 1-0 the entire game? This DVD captures none of that drama.

If you just want to see all the goals of WC 2006, you can do it for free at the FIFA WC website. They even show some great highlights as well, but there's no commentary. And no, I am not affiliated with FIFA in any way, shape, or form.

All the goals from 2006 World Cup are included on this DVD, but only a few of the penalty kicks shootouts are included. Very good quality picture, a must see for any soccer fan.
