Soccer-related Short Films

[THOMA GOL]

Earlier this year PBS did a fundraiser by showing/selling a series of soccer related shorts films from various nations. Does anyone know the name of some short films about soccer or where I could find them?

There's a great one made in the 80s in Brazil about Barbosa (our goalkeeper in 1950) and the 1950 final as told by a character who was at the game and has the chance to go back in time and change events.

I'll try to add it here if I find it right away.

Barbosa is a 13 min short about a man who goes back in time to try to prevent Brazil's loss in the 1950 World Cup.

Here's "Barbosa's" IMDB page (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125671/)

And on this page (http://www.casacinepoa.com.br/port/filmes/barbosa.htm#) you can click on ASSISTIR (the second of three hyperlinked words next to the picture) to watch the actual movie. A window will open in which you may have to first select your connection speed (banda larga = high bandwidth) before the movie will play. Info in English is available here (http://www.casacinepoa.com.br/ing/filmes/barbosa.htm).

[Crimen y Castigo]

This is one of the best soccer related short films I've ever seen. (http://www.hedonistica.com/media.php?path=/videos/soccer_ball_bounces_into_face.wmv)

And it's very, very short.
