Relive the hard-hitting action of Germany’s FIFA 2006 World Cup. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan this is the official World Cup documentary. Provides an overview of all of the action and drama including never-before-seen footage shot on 35mm cameras during the quarter finals all the way to the final game. Includes behind-the-scenes, off-the-field footage of the teams and fans and player interviews.Soccer fans can re-live the thrills of the most recent world championship on Fifa 2006 World Cup Film: The Grand Finale. Using spare narration to analyze each team’s progress through the competition pipeline, Fifa compiles generous clips from a number of matches, beginning with first eliminations. An overview of Australia vs. Japan offers another look at the latter’s controversial goal after Australia’s goalie was knocked to the ground. There’s intense action in Germany vs. Costa Rica and Spain’s match against Ukraine; Spain, we’re told, is always good but never delivers on its promise. A look at Argentina’s passing prowess reveals one play in which the ball was passed 26 times before a (successful) attempt at a goal was made.
From there it’s the quarterfinals with, among other matches, England vs. Portugal and Germany vs. Argentina, both passionate games. Semi-finals bring Portugal vs. France and Germany vs. Italy, in which every player seemed to come to life. Finally, Italy vs. France leads to the conclusion of this World Cup odyssey. Along the way, the many penalties accrued by several teams are analyzed, including one game in which they were handed out at an absurd rate, almost shamefully. Player interviews include Fabio Cannavaro and Michael Ballack. –Tom Keogh

Note to the producers. Usually the people who buy these sorts of things are the winning teams fans who want it for their collection. I mean do the French fans order this to say “wow remember how we lost in the finals on penality kicks to Italy.” Do the USA fans want to see highlights on how they were eliminated in the first round? No Italian fans are the people who are going to order this. You might want to have some content on their games.

I thought the camera work, and angles of some of the footage was tremendous. Being an italian fan, I was not too thrilled that they picked their quarter final game as one of 2 not shown. I purchased film because I thought Pearce Brosnan would add something dynamic to film, instead it sounded as if he was doing play by play for golf- very disappointing.

the DVD was not what I expected, some great games were not covered. The interviews are OK.
