Story:
Bio-sports comedy drama directed and co-written by Taika Waititi. Next Goal Wins (2023) follows the American Samoa soccer team, considered to be one of the weakest football teams in the world, the team hires down-on-his-luck, maverick coach Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender) hoping he will turn the world’s worst soccer team into an elite squad.
We’ll add the best quotes once the movie is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now, here’s a small selection.
Quotes:
Thomas Rongen: It’s known as the beautiful game. But let’s face it, it’s a complicated game, guys. Soccer, as you like to call it, is like life. Next season, I think we have a real shot.
Alex Magnussen: I’m sorry. Thomas, did nobody tell you? You’re fired.
Alex Magnussen: Good news is, you got two options.
Rhys Marlin: Option one. That’s where you’re currently at.
Alex Magnussen: Or…
Rhys Marlin: American Samoa.
Thomas Rongen: Are you serious?
Tavita: We haven’t scored one goal in the history of our country trying to have a soccer team.
Tavita: Mark my words. Things are going to change. I got us a new coach.
Jaiyah: Something to drink?
Thomas Rongen: Whiskey, beer, wine?
Jaiyah: Yep. We got all those. Which one?
Thomas Rongen: Whiskey, beer, and wine.
Thomas Rongen: It’s safe to say you have zero talent or understanding of the game.
Daru: [referring to Thomas] Something not right about this guy.
Pisa: Well, he is white.
Woman: Coach, you’ve got the toughest job on the island.
Tavita: All we want is just one goal. One goal.
Thomas Rongen: Come on, guys! We’ve worked too long and hard for this.
Daru: You’ve only been here a few days.
Thomas Rongen: I can’t work with these guys. For them, it’s like some sort of game.
Gail: It is a game, Thomas.
Thomas Rongen: That’s it, Jaiyah, leadership!
Thomas Rongen: Now we’re making some progress.
Tavita: Dear Lord, thank you for sending us Mr. Rongen. We’ve become quite attached to him. It’s like finding a little lost white kid at the mall, and telling him which way to go.
