This review is from: Soccer: A Decade Of Great Goals & Great Matches From The FA Premier League (DVD)

I like this DVD set, though I'm the only one in my family who does. My wife and oldest son like soccer a lot, but they aren't too into the bang-bang-bang style of this video. It's perfect for me, because I'm not all that into soccer, so I like that this DVD set is mostly just the highlights. And WOW, some of the goals are pretty spectacular.

That said, it's not all highlights with no context. The great goals DVD is actually broken up and presented by season, and there is mention of how the teams fared that year, a bit about the players that you're seeing in action, and interviews with some of the goal scorers that keep it fresh for me, plus there is a "top 10 saves" segment that gives a nod to the keepers, too. The narrator stays energetic throughout and the audio track segues well back and forth between the narrator and the actual announcers from the matches. Overall, the whole thing has an exciting pace and is a visual feast if you like goal scoring.

And then there is Disc 2, "Great Matches," which has highlights of certain key matches from the first decade of the FA Premier League, so that disc fleshes things out a bit more and stays with a single match vice bouncing from team to team through each season to show the best goals. Even my wife sort of likes Disc 2.

So, if you're a bit interested in soccer and don't mind just seeing mostly non-stop goal scoring with a bit of backstory and interviews but no real defense or midfield play, this DVD set is right for you. If you're more a fan of one particular team or you like all that chess game that goes on between goals, well you might be better served elsewhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars EPL -A Decade Of Great Goals And Matches, July 13, 2004

This review is from: Soccer: A Decade Of Great Goals & Great Matches From The FA Premier League (DVD)

This is a great item to remember the first decade of the English Premier League.It has 2 dvd's put into 1 that show us all the great goals and the top 18 matches of the first decade of electrifying action.I don't have any critisim of the great goals disk but the great matches could have had more action instead of just the goals.If they couldn't make this dvd longer than maybe they could get rid of some of the talking.I agree with the greatest goal by David Beckham and the greatest match of the decade contested between Newcastle and Liverpool.Bechamas chip from half way was awsome and Newcastle vs. Liverpool was the most exciting match i've ever seen because there was alot on the line and it had great action and great goals.There should have been more than 2 Chelsea matches seem I am a Chelsea fan. If you are a true soccer fan buy this DVD now!!GO CHELSEA!!!!! WE ARE GOING TO WIN IT THIS YEAR
