PLOT

The Mexican National Soccer Team is a source of pride and passion for Mexicans. It’s a squad that has been forged over time, has learned from its mistakes, and has achieved remarkable feats in recent World Cups. This is the story of its setbacks and triumphs in its first World Cups—and of how, with time and dedication, a team was built that has given us unforgettable moments. Relive the excitement of Negrete’s scissor-kick goal in ’86, the goals by “El Matador” Luis Hernández and Luis García at USA ’94, and the exploits of Cuauhtémoc Blanco at France ’98. A documentary featuring the key players, behind-the-scenes stories, and footage of the Mexican national team that you’ll enjoy forever.m
