Review of Kicking It (2008) by Vince G — 20 Apr 2011
Its a simple narrative and tale, written this way before, but the impact of the lives it effects is tremendous. Its a good story, as we follow a Kenyan team that has never been in any type of World Cup fixture, a US team that has never won a game at the Homeless World Cup, a ex Real Madrid youth player in his 60's, a Russian team with no papers, making them outcasts to Russian standards, and an Irish goalkeeper who is trying to get over his methadone addiction.
Who will win the cup? And winning for some countries could change the opinions in some countries for those who are homeless. This is all that these lonely people have to build themselves up, a chance at representing their country, by kicking their drug addictions and kicking their lives into the back of the net.
