The original was no classic but at least in story terms it had a reason to exist – not this sequel, which simply doesn’t have enough story. The hero goes to play for Real Madrid, has troubles with his girlfriend (he’s tempted by a much hotter girl), finds a long lost brother, struggles to get off the bench, snaps at his agent... that’s about it really. Oh his flashy best mate loses some form but then finds it again. There is some wish fulfilment with sexy chicks throwing themselves at him and expensive houses and trinkets but this isn’t an underdog story. It isn’t even a story, really. Why didn’t they have him simply get a massive head and really fall off the wagon? Who cares if Real Madrid wins the big game? It’s funny to see they give the final goal to David Beckham and not the lead.
