2.0 out of 5 stars Same as FIFA Fever, October 24, 2005

This review is from: The Beautiful Century (FIFA) (DVD)

All of the footage is the same. I was so excited to see they brought out another FIFA title, but everything is the same, not only that, you can get it on over stock dot com for $15, and FIFA Fever is only $12, which has much more footage.

This review is from: The Beautiful Century (FIFA) (DVD)

This is an excellent historical account of the formation of what the world calls football but Americans call soccer; truly the beautiful game. It contains rare historical footage from the turn of the 20th century to the present day. It provides an accurate account of the creation of association football, FIFA, and competitions from teams from the five continents.
