Good, not great

I agree with some previous reviewers about how this DVD could have been better; it's good if you're new into Football (Soccer), and need an overall history of the game, but it falls way short of the mark for us mature fans of the game; it could have spent some extra time (especially being a double DVD) showing some fo the best games of the World Cups, and I think it was kind of sloppy by showing different categories all at random. Another thing I noticed (and I don't know who put this together), that 2 big names were left out on this "The Best Of";
* One name left out here was Matildo Ubaldo Fillol from Argentina as one of the best goalkeepers of the tournaments; he was a key player on Argentina's victory in 1978 and one of the best keepers in the world at the end of the 70's and early 80's.
* The other name left out was Eder from Brasil in 1982 as one of the best strikers; check the incredible goals he scored against Argentina on a free kick and the superb goal he scored against Scotland after a pass from Junior.
Anyway, overall the DVD is good but not great......... October 9, 2007

Not a good product

the videos included are not that good, it has the best headers, some of the best goals of the world cups. I thought it would include parts of the best games of all world cups. It has some of these moments

Oh this could have been So much better.....

Having bought this DVD I was looking forward to sitting down in front of the TV for a few hours and having a great time, But NO I found this a very poor viewing experience. I don't know if it was the very boring narrative or even the lack of enthusiasm in the voice. I also found that each section didn't role into one another in was jumping from place to place... It just seems that it was put together by a non-football(soccer) producer. I have had this for a number of months and still haven't watched it all. June 19, 2006
