Guardian

Copa 71 is a revolutionary political parable that goes beyond football. A different world is possible; not only that, a different world was not just possible but did in fact exist.

Stuff.co.nz

The storytelling is compelling, the on and off-field dramas riveting (a bad-tempered, controversial semi-final here, a potential strike threat there) and some of the skills on display truly breathtaking.
