why movies about soccer are so rare whereas it's the most popular sport?


hi,

Like each time i saw a movie about soccer, i like it, so this Pelé one !

why movies about soccer are so rare whereas it's the most popular sport?
there are som nay movie about basketball or us-football, but ony a few quantity based on soccer !

let's make a list, maybe you can help me to complete it :

-Pelé Birth of a Legend
-Goal! 1 2 & 3
-Goal of the Dead
-Shaolin Soccer
-Jimmy Grimble
-Bend It Like Beckham
-Les seigneurs
-Victory (with Stalone!)
-Captain Tsubasa (olive & tom )
-But pour Rudy
-L'école des champions !

i loved all of them, even the most parodic one!

so, what did i miss ?

i hope there will a movie about Eric Cantona before i died !
