Soccer Movie Review - Bounce: How the Ball Taught the World to Play


This blog, Soccer Syndrome, was recently created (December 2016) to share my love of soccer with other "True Soccer Addicts". Recently on Twitter I connected with another one of those soccer addicts in MJ Lee who runs another soccer related blog: Soccer Movie Mom. MJ Lee focuses strictly on reviewing soccer movies and since I learned a long time ago that there is no need to reinvent the wheel, I will be sharing her reviews with our Soccer Syndrome readers. You can follow Lee on Twitter @SoccerMovieMom.

Bounce: How the Ball Taught the World to Play review by MJ Lee (@SoccerMovieMom)

According to the researchers, ‘A ball game is a microcosm of our lives’, and sport is a combination of tribalism and brilliant storytelling. That’s pretty heavy stuff (and there’s more), but the filmmakers present convincing examples.
