Editorial Review:
Underdog athlete triumphs against all the odds and finds more than mere victory in the bargain--it's a cinematic tradition that stretches considerably beyond the Rocky franchise. But this 2002 UK hit about an East Asian immigrant teen who dreams of becoming a soccer star puts a winning new trans-cultural spin on the formula. The film's song-score is as savory, playful and determined as the film itself, a rich collection of mostly contemporary tracks that shakes up an evocative cocktail of pop infused with soul, club mixes, cool jazz, new wave, traditional Indian flourishes, and even a parting, triumphant shot of Puccini. Victoria Beckham, former Spice Girl and wife of titular inspiration/soccer legend David Beckham weighs in with the breathy neo-disco of "I Wish," while fellow Spicester Mel C offers up the sprightly pop of "Independence Day." But it's the dizzying array of transplanted Indian pop music--oft-performed by the winning team of Brit Billy Sagoo and American vocalist Gunjan--that makes the album such a winning delight. This is world music with a dancefloor beat and a smile. --Jerry McCulley

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Football for All
A very nice film, family style for a nice afternoon or evening at home, for those who love football it's a light comedy that brings in the right blend of global culture mix in that we live coupled with some other issues that we all have to deal with some time or the other. Very entertaining!
Rating: - Cool, Chill out tracks from India
After listening a few times to this CD, you'll forget it's a Soundtrack to a movie because of the mainly Asian Indidan artists/singers featured, although a few dialogue from the movie has been inserted here and there,
". . . look down, don't smile, Indian Brides don't smile, you'll ruin the bloody video!"
The stand out song for me is "Noorie." Whatever she's singing about, it must be good, myself not understanding any Hindi or maybe its in Punjabi. The singer has this begging, sexy ... Read More
Rating: - One song makes the whole CD great!
I've read the other reviews, and people seem to hate the song by Victoria Beckham (I Wish). Those people are completely crazy. The 2 best sogns on here are I Wish and Independence Day. They are both by former Spice Girls.
This soundtrack rocks, although I didn't really care for the movie.
