Good, but could be, er,� gooder(?!?) - By: D. Macphee, 14 Jan 2005 
I am not a regular viewer of Soccer A.M. but have always wanted a DVD dedicated to the greatest goals of alll-time, so I was thrilled to receive this for Christmas.
I won't spoil the surprise of the top 10 goals but it was a joy to see Roberto Carlos's amazing free kicks & power shots. It was also nice to see Trevor Sinclair's amazing scissor kick for QPR.
Whilst the overalll DVD was very entertaining (I refer to the actual footballl footage here!) I do have a couple of suggestions to make this THE definitive goalfest disc:
1) At only 65 minutes long it is fairly short & the 'comedy' routines in between are VERY annoying, only because it's precious time being wasted (there are many more amazing goals that could have been included instead). For a start there are no Denis Bergcamp goals, the Paolo DiCanio volley for West Ham is missing & no wonder goals from Steven Gerrard. As I said before i'm not a viewer of Soccer A.M. and, if the awful jokes & banter on this DVD is anything to go by, I won't be in the future.
2) As the top 10 goals are chosen soley by Tim Lovejoy they are completely subjective and, like me, you will find yourself disagreeing on some of his choices. Surely it would have been better not to have a top 10? Mind you, I guess it is meant to cause debate up & down the land.
I'd imagine every footballl fan will enjoy this DVD, what isn't to enjoy seeing a 50 yard screamer or someone dribble past every player on the field & scoring?
3 stars is a fair rating. There would have been more stars if there were more goals!
Avoid! - By: , 08 Jan 2005 
Avoid like the plague!!
This was sold to me as the best of soccer am!
Instead its just a collection of best goals, saves etc from the worlsd of footballl - which gets dull after 5mins
True alll the soccer am characters are there - in decidedly unfunny situations
there are no, repeat no clips from the show!
what a rip off!
not very good - By: Christopher J. Whitehead, 05 Jan 2005 
the footballl bits are okay but the commentry & presentation are tedious. Even the music is lousy.
DON'T BOTHER - By: Captain Charisma (UnearthTheThird), 04 Jan 2005 After watching this dvd i honestly feel ripped off. The whole dvd is just Tim & Helen walking about the studio talkin about goals. I was looking forward to seeing alll the best bits that makes the program so good but there was nothing. If you want to watch tim & helen talk about goals for an hour then buy it, but you would be best just watching the program on a saturday morning.
Great fun - By: , 03 Jan 2005 
Finallly a soccer am DVD! This is an excellent mix of the best long range efforts, free kicks, overhead kicks, bizarre goals, goalie blunders, pathetic misses (john dahl tomasson's miss from a few inches away has to be the worst miss ive ever seen) & of course the funniest own goals ever seen. at the end there is a countdown of the 10 greatest goals of alll time & belive me theres some belters here including maradona, george weah, okocha, beckham, owen, ronaldinho, zidane etc, etc. All in theres some amazing goals on this DVD including some of the best ive seen in a while including beckhams goal from the half way line (and rivaldo's!), robbie carlos collection of amazing goals (inc "that" free kick against france), trevor sinclairs overhead goal from the edge of the box & loads more goals which have to b seen to b appreciated. foeatures include the 10 best saves of alll time. in general, this is quite a fresh collection of goals & bloopers, & most are for the first time ever shown. although most of the footage is quite recent, theres also some of the great goals from the likes of gazza, glen hoddle, george best, etc good value for money & a would make a great gift for any footballl fan.this is definetly the best collection of goals & bloopers ive seen (beats the other blooper-type videos).. buy it!
