Thierry Henry - Legend Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't see all of thierry henry's amazing arsenal run, but i did see alot of the latter years. He's always been my favorite player, and this dvd illustrates that to a tee. Great interviews with announcers, past and present teammates and from the man himself. Alot like gretzky, henry did all this with hardly any enemies. A humble athlete on and off the field. I'm not sure how long it will take another player to topple his staggering 226 all-time goals for arsenal, but in the mean time, you can see all of them here. Another great part of henry was his connection to the fans. And also his celebrations showed just how much he loved the team he played for. HENRY = LEGEND!!!!!!!!

FIFA World Cup DVD Collection: 1930 -2006 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was disappointed by the content of this collection. Granted, I should have done more research into what was actually contained in the DVDs. I was looking for a recap of every goal, both in the group stage an in the playoffs (or, at least, a bit of every match). Instead, this series, for the most part, shows only highlights of the main games of each world cup. Team celebrations, arrivals at the airport, bus rides, fans partying, locker room talks, and, in some DVDs, even the personal stories of stadium workers are heavily covered in these documentaries. Nothing wrong with that if you are interested in the "behind the scenes" aspects of what goes on in these torunaments. In that case, you may find these DVDs interesting. If, like me, you want to see the goals and summaries of the matches, you probably do not want to purchase this product.

The Official Review of UEFA Euro 2008 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I waited a year for this DVD to be released, and it was worth the wait. In addition to all the goals of the Euro 2008, a few highlights from each match are also included. The picture quality is quite good, and the commentary is well-informed and enthusiastic. And, thankfully, no music! The pre-game fan celebrations, however, can be annoying to some. Unlike Reedswain's World Cup DVD (where group play is a single chapter), this DVD allows you to skip to the games of the next group.
My copy of the DVD does have a defect, though: It freezes at the beginning of the Greece-Spain game, and resumes at the beginning of the next chapter. Naturally, I asked Amazon for a replacement. As always, they dutifully obliged. But, to my surprise, the replacement DVD had the exact same defect! I've contacted Reedswain, and will update this review after they've had sufficient time to respond.
In short, I highly recommend this DVD to fans of European soccer; in particular, to those who admired Turkey's miraculous performance.
UPDATE: After two weeks there's still no response from Reedswain. Not surprising, though; I'm sure they're not too eager to acknowledge a widespread problem that might prove costly.

Manchester United Season Review 2010-2011 Soccer DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Of all the season review dvs's, this is by far the worst. This season review should have been a celebration of the 19th title, instead the producer has tried to show what he can do with editing. All the goals are filmed in strange angles and the commentary is from manutd.com
If I could give this 1/2 stars, I would.
DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!

2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa: All the Goals Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is fun to collect all the Goals from all world cups. You see them some time later and you relive the entire experience in a couple of hours. And this one is one of the best WC goal compilations I have. The recording quality is excellent, the narration comprehensive, and the transition splash screens are what they should be. This one best all the others by showing the most significant lost opportunities from some of the draw matches too, really you get the full picture. Other collections would just skip the draw matches all together without even a mention.
The one shortcoming of the collection, as well as all the others collections, is that it does not show the full penalty shoot outs, only the last shot or 2. This really takes away from the experience. I do not know why they do that. For this they lose a star and get 4 out 5.
Now, I wish some company would release a DVD version of earlier world cup goals, all the available ones are in VHS.

All the Goals of FIFA World Cup 2006 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This DVD is a great summation of the 2006 World Cup. It includes all the goals, but almost nothing else.
One of the biggest attractions of this DVD for me is hearing proper commentary by informed, skilled individuals which is far superior to the commentary we had to listen to in the U.S. during the televised matches. The other strong point is the many angles from which each goals is shown. The DVD also includes the 10 best goals and the 10 best saves.
The only weakness is that group play is a single chapter: You have to fast-forward to get to another group's goals. I was also concerned with getting my money's worth (given the relatively high price of the DVD), but I ended up watching it several times in the first couple of weeks.
Strongly recommended.
